This electronic Consent Decree e-Library contains NACWA's substantial collection of municipal wet weather consent decrees and enforcement orders. Most major federal consent decrees are included, and a select number of state orders are included as well. All documents include the full text of the identified decrees/orders, and some include relevant appendices/attachments.

The e-Library can be searched in a variety of ways:

• Search the e-Library by using existing categories, or customize your search by using the search box.

You can further refine this search by checking any of the boxes for existing search terms – i.e. do a search for decrees/orders containing a custom search term within a specific number of EPA Regions or states.
