Action
The State of Texas gives notice of the following proposed resolution
of an environmental enforcement action under the Texas Water Code.
Before the State may enter into a voluntary settlement agreement, pur-
suant to 7.110 of the Texas Water Code the State shall permit the pub-
lic to comment in writing. The Attorney General will consider any
written comments and may withdraw or withhold consent to the pro-
posed agreement if the comments disclose facts or considerations indi-

Case Title: United States of America and State of Texas v. San Antonio
Water System, Civil Action No. 5:13-cv-00666, in the United States
District Court for the Western District of Texas, San Antonio Division.
Background: Plaintiffs filed their initial Complaint in this action
on July 23, 2013, pursuant to Section 301 of the Clean Water Act
("CWA"), 33 U.S.C. 1311, and 7.002, 7.032, 7.101, 7.103, 7.105,
7.108 and chapter 26, 26.01, et seq., of the Texas Water Code
("TWC") against Defendant San Antonio Water System, San Antonio,
Bexar County, Texas. This action was filed by the Attorney General
of the United States, through the undersigned attorney, on behalf of
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") and by the office
of the Texas Attorney General, through the undersigned attorney, on
behalf of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality ("TCEQ").
The Complaint alleges, inter alia, that SAWS has violated the CWA
and the TWC by discharging pollutants, including discharges from
unpermitted point sources, in violation of the Section 301 of the
CWA, 33 U.S.C. 1311, and provisions of the TWC, and that SAWS
has violated effluent limitations and other conditions established in
the National Pollutant Elimination System ("NPDES"), also known
as Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System, permits issued to
SAWS by TCEQ, pursuant to its EPA-approved permit program under
Section 402 of the CWA, 33 U.S.C. 1342.
Nature of the Settlement: The action by the Plaintiffs against SAWS,
will be settled by a Consent Decree in the United States District Court
for the Western District of Texas, San Antonio Division.
Proposed Settlement: The proposed settlement orders Defendant to pay
a fine of $2.6 million to be divided equally between the Plaintiffs and
to implement comprehensive injunctive relief measures to come into
compliance with the federal Clean Water Act, the Texas Water Code,
and the Defendant's Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System per-
mits. The implementation of this relief is aimed at addressing and
eliminating effluent violations and unpermitted discharges from De-
fendant's sanitary sewer system. If approved by the Court, the Consent
Decree will resolve the claims and violations alleged in the Complaint.
For a complete description of the proposed settlement, the complete
proposed Consent Decree should be reviewed. Requests for copies of

ment, should be directed to Mark L. Walters, Assistant Attorney Gen-
