TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY
    Respondent

   This case arises under the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974 (SDWA) 42 U.S.C. § 300j-9(i) and the Water Pollution Control Act of 1948 (WPCA) 33 U.S.C. § 1367.

   On March 17, 1999, the parties filed a joint Motion for Dismissal and a Memorandum of Understanding and Agreement in this Office. Upon review, the agreement appears to be fair, adequate, and reasonable.

   Accordingly, it is recommended:

1) That the Secretary of Labor approve the settlement agreement;

2) That the claim of James Ledford be dismissed with prejudice.
