Water Act

consent decree with the United States District Court for the District
of Utah in the lawsuit entitled United States and State of Utah v. Salt
Lake County, Utah, Civil Action No. 2:16cv87BCW.
The United States filed this lawsuit under the Clean Water Act. The

discharges of storm water from the County's municipal separate storm
sewer system (``MS4''). The consent decree requires the defendant to
perform injunctive relief to bring it into compliance with its NPDES
permit and to pay a $280,000 civil penalty.
