    In the case of United States v. Brenda Massey, a proposed Consent Decree has been lodged with the United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi. The United States filed a complaint against Brenda Massey for violating the Clean Water Act by discharging pollutants into U.S. waters without a permit. The proposed decree requires Massey to carry out environmental restoration and make a monetary payment to mitigate the impacts of her actions. The Department of Justice is seeking public comments on this decree for 30 days and provides details on where the document can be reviewed both physically and online.

    Simple Explanation

    The government is asking a judge to approve a plan that asks a person named Brenda Massey to fix some harm she caused by putting dirty stuff in water without permission and to pay some money to help make things better. They are also asking people to share their opinions about this plan before it's decided.
