DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the Safe
Drinking Water Act
On March 28, 2018, the Department of Justice lodged a Consent
Decree with defendant Beaverhead County Jackson Water and/or Sewer
District (``Beaverhead'') in the United States District Court for the
District of Montana. The Consent Decree resolves claims under Sections
1412 and 1414(b) of the Safe Drinking Water Act (``SDWA''), 42 U.S.C.
300g-1 and 300g-3(b), for violations of certain National Primary
Drinking Water Regulations (``NPDWRs'') in the public water supply
system in Beaverhead County, Montana. The Complaint filed concurrently
with the Consent Decree alleges that Beaverhead owned and/or operated a
public water system and failed to comply with maximum contaminant
levels and monitoring and reporting requirements. The proposed Consent
Decree obligates Beaverhead to achieve and maintain continual, long-
