DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Pursuant to the Clean Air Act
Notice is hereby given that a proposed Consent Decree in United
States v. AAR Manufacturing Group, Inc., Civil Action No. 1:96 CV-58
(W.D. Mich.), entered into by the United States and AAR Manufacturing
Group, Inc. (``AAR''), was lodged on February 27, 1997, with the United
States District Court for the Western District of Michigan. The
proposed Consent Decree resolves certain claims of the United States
under the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7401, et seq., with respect to AAR's
Cadillac Manufacturing Facility, in Cadillac, Michigan. The Complaint
alleges that AAR violated two of the conditions of its State issued
permit by exceeding its emissions limits and duration of operation of
its air cargo handling manufacturing equipment. Under the terms of the
proposed Consent Decree the defendant shall pay the United States a
total of $210,000, and perform a Supplemental Environmental Project as
specified in the Consent Decree, in return for the United States'
covenant not to sue for claims alleged in the Complaint for violations
of the Michigan State Implementation Plan. The SEP consists of the
installation and operation of a greater capacity than required
Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer to control the emissions of violatile
organic compounds, resulting in substantial pollution reductions at the
Cadillac Facility.
