                DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
                Notice of Lodging Proposed Consent Decree
                 In accordance with Departmental Policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is
                hereby given that a proposed Consent Decree in United States v. Nelson
                Farms, Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 2:16-cv-00319, was lodged with
                the United States District Court for the District of Vermont on
                December 4, 2019.
                 This proposed Consent Decree concerns a complaint filed by the
                United States against Nelson Farms, Inc. and Douglas Nelson, Sr.,
                pursuant to Sections 301, 309, and 404 of the Clean Water Act
                (``CWA''), 33 U.S.C. 1311, 1319, and 1344, to obtain injunctive relief
                from and impose civil penalties against the Defendants for violating
                the Clean Water Act by discharging pollutants without a permit into
                waters of the United States. The proposed Consent Decree resolves these
                allegations by requiring the Defendants to restore the impacted areas
                and/or perform mitigation and to pay a civil penalty.
                 The Department of Justice will accept written comments relating to
                this proposed Consent Decree for thirty (30) days from the date of
                publication of this Notice. Please address comments to Perry Rosen,
                Senior Attorney, United States Department of Justice, Environment and

                Nelson Farms, Inc., et al., DJ # 90-5-1-1-19989.
