DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Pursuant to the Clean Air Act
In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is
hereby given that a proposed consent decree in United States v. Point
Corp., et al., Civil Action No. 3:97-0294, was lodged on March 27, 1997
with the United States District Court for the Southern District of West
Virginia. The consent decree settles claims against Point Corp.
(`'Point'') and Marshall T. Reynolds (``Reynolds'') pursuant to the
Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7401, et seq., for violations of the asbestos
NESHAP, 40 CFR part 61, subpart M, with respect to the demolition of
two buildings owned by Point. The decree requires that Point and
Reynolds pay a civil penalty of $350,000. The buildings were demolished
several years ago, and the defendants do not engage in asbestos related
operations. Accordingly, the decree does not provide for any injunctive
relief. The decree does not resolve claims against Rayburn Darst, doing
business as Environmental Protection Abatement, the asbestos removal
contractor involved in the demolition.
