DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Lodging of Consent Decree Pursuant to the Clean Air Act
Notice is hereby given that a proposed consent decree in United
States v. Housing Authority of the City of New Haven and Aaron Gleich,
Inc., Civil Action No. 3:91CV00231 (AHN), was lodged on June 21, 1995
with the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut.
The complaint in this action was filed on April 29, 1991 against
the Housing Authority of the City of New Haven (``HANH'') and Aaron
Gleich, Inc., (``AGI''), pursuant to section 113(b) of the Clean Air
Act (``Act''), 42 U.S.C. 7413(b). The complaint sought penalties and
injunctive relief for violations of Section 112(c) of the Act, 42
U.S.C. 7412(c), and of the National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air
Pollutants for asbestos, 40 CFR part 61, subpart M (``Asbestos
NESHAP''). The complaint alleged that violations of the Asbestos NESHAP
occurred in connection with a demolition project at the Elm Haven
Extension Housing Project (``Elm Haven Project'') located in New Haven,
Connecticut, that took place in 1990. AGI performed this demolition
work for HANH, which owned and operated the Elm Haven Project.
The proposed consent decree embodies an agreement by HANH and AGI
to pay a civil penalty in the amount of $43,000. In addition, AGI and
HANH have agreed to comply with the Asbestos NESHAP in connection with
any future asbestos abatement projects, and have also agreed to
implement other measures to reduce the likelihood of future violations
of the Asbestos NESHAP.
