Act

    Pursuant to 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby given that on March 10, 
2010, a proposed Consent Decree in United States v. Evenhouse 
Enterprises, Inc., d/b/a Skyview Subdivision and Windmill Estates 
Subdivision, Civil Action No. 10-CV-2056, was lodged with the United 
States District Court for the Central District of Illinois.
    In a civil action filed simultaneously with the Consent Decree, the 
United States seeks injunctive relief and a civil penalty against 
Evenhouse Enterprises, Inc. (``Evenhouse''), defendant, pursuant to 
Section 1414(b) of the Safe Drinking Water Act (``SDWA''), 42 U.S.C. 
300G-3(b), based upon Evenhouse's alleged violations of the SDWA and 
regulations thereunder at two separate community water systems serving 
the Skyview subdivision mobile home park (``Skyview'') and the Windmill 
estate subdivision mobile home park (``Windmill''), both of which are 
located in Kankakee County, Illinois. Evenhouse allegedly failed to 
comply with the monitoring, reporting, public notification and record-
keeping requirements of the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations 
(``NPDWR'') codified at 40 CFR Part 141.
    Under the proposed settlement, among other things, Evenhouse will 
be required to take samples from its public water system to monitor for 
various contaminants in accordance with the NPDWR and provide the 
results to the Environmental Protection Agency on a quarterly basis in 
accordance with the NPDWR; to prepare and distribute Consumer 
Confidence Reports; to provide public notification of any NPDWR 
violations found in its monitoring process; and to obtain a Responsible 
Person in Charge and Certified Operator for Skyview and Windmill. In 
addition, the defendant must pay a total civil penalty of Twenty 
Thousand Dollars ($20,000.00)
