DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Lodging of Partial Consent Decrees Pursuant to the Clean Air Act
In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is
hereby given that a proposed partial consent decree in United States v.
New York City Board of Education, et al., Civil Action No. 89-0856, was
lodged on April 14, 1994 with the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of New York. Defendant New York City Board of
Education (New York) owns and operates schools in the New York City
metropolitan area. New York contracted with Defendants Hollywood
Commercial Renewals, Inc. (Hollywood) and A. Grgas Contracting, Inc.
(Grgas) to undertake renovation activities at schools in New York City.
Hollywood and Grgas engaged in these renovation activities but neither
they nor New York notified the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of
these activities, in violation of the Clean Air Act (Act) and the
National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPS) for
asbestos. Under the terms of the proposed partial consent decree,
Hollywood and Grgas will pay civil penalties in the amounts of $3,500
and $1,500, respectively and agree to be enjoined from further
violations of the Act and the NESHAPS.
