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. 
Thompson, No. 4:06-cv-549 was lodged with the United States District 
Court for the District of South Carolina on February 22, 2006.

United States against Jerry Thompson and Virginia Thompson, pursuant to 
Sections 301 and 404 of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1311 and 1344, 
to obtain injunctive relief from the defendants for violating the Clean 
Water Act by discharging pollutants without a permit into waters of the

of a civil penalty. The Department of Justice will accept written 
comments relating to this proposed Consent Decree for thirty (30) days
