Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

BEAM, Circuit Judge.

The EPA appeals a district court1 order requiring it to follow the dispute-resolution process set out in a consent decree governing certain relations between the Knotes,2 their property, and the EPA. According to the EPA, the dispute at hand does not fall within the purview of the decree. We disagree and affirm the district court.
