DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Pursuant to the Clean Air Act
(``CAA'')
In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is
hereby given that a consent decree in United States v. Standard
Chlorine of Delaware, Inc., No. 98-268-RRM (D. Del.) has been lodged on
March 26, 1999, with the United States District Court for the District
of Delaware. The consent decree resolves the claims of the United
States pursuant to Section 113(b)(2) of the CAA, 42 U.S.C. 7413(b)(2),
for civil penalties and injunctive relief, based on alleged violations
of regulatory requirements for leak detection and repair of equipment
used in the manufacture of chlorine products, and leak repair
requirements for industrial refrigeration equipment.
The consent decree provides that the defendant shall pay $349,000
in civil penalties. Because all the violations pleaded in the Complaint
have been remedied, and the Defendant has sold the facility where the
violations occurred to a non-party to this action, no injunctive relief
is requested in the consent decree.
The Department of Justice will receive, for a period of thirty (30)
days from the date of this publication, comments relating to the
consent decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant Attorney
General for the Environment and Natural Resources Division, Department
of Justice, Washington, DC, 20530, and should refer to DJ #90-5-2-1-
2109. Comments may also be addressed to the United States Attorney,
District of Delaware, c/o Ms. Patricia Hannigan, 1201 Market Street,
Suite 1100, Wilmington, DE 19899-2046.
The consent decree may be examined and copied at the Office of the
Clerk, U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware; or at the
Region III Office of the Environmental Protection Agency, c/o Mr.
Charles McPhedran, 1650 Arch Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103-2029. A
copy of the consent decree may also be obtained in person or by mail
from the Department of Justice Consent Decree Library, 1120 G Street,
NW, 3rd Floor, Washington, DC 20005. In requesting a copy please refer
