DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Consent Decree in Action Brought Under the Clean Air
Act
Notice is hereby given that a proposed Consent Decree in United
States v. Lafarge, et al., Civil Action No. 4-94CV-356Y, was lodged
with the United States District Court for the Northern District of
Texas on February 15, 1995. This Consent Decree resolves a Complaint
filed by the United States against Art O'Shea pursuant to Section 112
of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7412.
The United States Department of Justice brought this action on
behalf of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, seeking to impose
civil penalties and injunctive relief on Lafarge, Inc., Victor Yorstoun
and Art O'Shea for their alleged violations of the National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (``the NESHAP'') for asbestos
during demolition activities at a mill building at the Lafarge cement
manufacturing and distribution facility in Fort Worth, Texas. The
NESHAP for asbestos consists of regulations promulgated by EPA pursuant
to the Clean Air Act.
The settlement in this case requires defendant O'Shea to pay a
civil penalty of $500 and comply with the asbestos NESHAP in all future
demolition and activities which he owns or operates.

this proposed Consent Decree for thirty (30) days from the date of
