Pursuant to Local Rules 6-2, 7-12, 16-2(d)-(e), Plaintiff California Sportfishing Protection Alliance and Defendant Contra Costa Waste Service Recycling Center and Transfer Station hereby notify the Court that the parties have reached a settlement agreement that will fully resolve this litigation. A true and correct copy of the executed settlement agreement is attached as Exhibit A to the Declaration of Douglas J. Chermak, filed contemporaneously with this Notice and Stipulated Request. Plaintiff has forwarded the settlement agreement to the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the United States Department of Justice to begin a 45-day review period by those agencies prescribed by Section 505(c)(3) of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, 33 U.S.C. § 1365(c)(3). Chermak Dec., ¶ 3; Id, Exhibit B. At the completion of the 45-day agency review period, the parties will file a stipulated request for dismissal requesting the Court to maintain jurisdiction over this matter to enforce the terms of the settlement agreement. Id., ¶ 4 & Exhibit A, ¶ 2. In light of the parties' settlement agreement and the 45-day federal agency review period, the parties further request that the Court accept this notice of settlement in lieu of the Joint ADR Certification, formal joint case management statement, and Rule 26(f) Report required pursuant to the Court's case management order dated August 29, 2007. The parties further request that, in light of the above, the Court extend the initial case management conference currently scheduled for January 7, 2008 for a period of about 70 days, until March 19, 2008, by which date the parties will have filed their stipulated request for dismissal which very likely will obviate the need for preparing either a case management order or Rule 26(f) Report. Should the case not be dismissed by March 12, 2008, the parties shall file /// /// /// /// /// /// ///
