DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Under the Clean Air Act
On October 23, 1998, the United States lodged a proposed consent
decree in the case of United States v. Guam Power Authority, Civil
Action No. 97-00030 (D. Guam), with the United States District Court
for the Territory of Guam.
The proposed consent decree resolves claims that the United States
asserted against Guam Power Authority (``GPA'') in a civil complaint
filed on April 29, 1997. The filed complaint alleges that GPA failed to
burn low-sulfur fuel-oil at its Cabras-Piti area electricity generating
plants when required, submitted late reports to EPA, and violated other
monitoring and reporting requirements contained in a waiver that EPA
issued to GPA under section 325 of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7425-1.
The proposed Consent Decree requires GPA to comply with the waiver
requirements, to pay a civil penalty of $170,000, and to spend at least
$800,000 on a Supplemental Environmental Project that will automate
GPA's fuel-switching operations and reduce sulfur emissions from GPA's
Cabrias-Piti plants.
The Department of Justice will accept comments relating to this
Consent Decree for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of this
publication. See 28 C.F.R. 50.7. Address your comments to the Assistant
Attorney General for the Environment and Natural Resources Division,
Department of Justice, Washington, D.C. 20530, and send a copy to
Environmental Enforcement Section, U.S. Department of Justice, 301
Howard Street, Suite 870, San Francisco, CA 94105. Your comments should
refer to U.S. v. Guam Power Authority, Civil No. 97-00030 (D. Guam),
and DOJ No. 90-5-2-1-2060.
You may examine the proposed consent decree at the office of the
United States Attorney, Territory of Guam, Suite 502-A, Pacific News
