    The Department of Justice has lodged a proposed Consent Decree concerning a case where the United States accused Thomas E. Lipar and associated companies of violating the Clean Water Act by discharging pollutants without a permit. To settle these allegations, the defendants are required to perform compensatory environmental mitigation and adhere to best management practices. The public had initially been given until February 25, 2021, to comment on this proposed agreement, but the deadline was extended to March 11, 2021.

People had more time to say what they think about this plan, but it's not clear what might happen if the companies don't follow the rules.
