DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Under the Clean Water Act
Notice is hereby given that on January 30, 2012, a proposed First Amended Consent Decree in United States of America and State of Hawaii v. City and County of Honolulu, Civil No. 94-00765 DAE-KSC (D. Hawaii), was lodged with the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii.
On January 30, 2012, the United States, the State of Hawaii, the City and County of Honolulu, and three Intervenors (Sierra Club, Hawai'i Chapter, Hawai'i's Thousand Friends, and Our Children's Earth Foundation) filed a joint stipulation to amend the Consent Decree that was entered by the Court on December 17, 2010. The proposed First Amended Consent Decree amends the Consent Decree to provide for construction of a Kaneohe-Kailua Tunnel and an associated influent pump station instead of construction of the Kaneohe-Kailua Force Main required by the Consent Decree. In addition, the proposed First Amended Consent Decree will eliminate certain storage projects that will not be needed following completion of the tunnel project.
