   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  21-2127
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas - Ft. Smith   
   [PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Benton and Kelly, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Clean Water Act. The city asked the court to resolve a 
   dispute concerning implementation of a 2015 Consent Decree between the 
   city, the State of Arkansas, and the U.S. in this Clean Water Act suit; 
   under the Consent Decree, the city is obligated to remediate portions of 
   its sewer system; the dispute here concerns the time frame for remediating 
   certain serious structural defects - must they be repaired within four 
   years of discovery or are they subject to an open-ended monitoring and 
   maintenance scheme; the District Court did not err in determining the city 
   was obligated to remedy these classes of defects within four years of 
   their discovery.
