Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Pursuant to the Clean Air Act 
and the National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for 
Asbestos

    In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is 
hereby given that a proposed Consent Decree in United States of America 
v. City of Rolla, et al. Civil Action No. 2:98CV00061DJS, was lodged on 
October 19, 1998 with the United States District Court for the Eastern 
District of Missouri.
    The Consent Decree settles civil penalty and injunctive claims 
asserted against the City of Rolla, Missouri (``the City'') and Don 
Maggi, Inc. (``Don Maggi'') under the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7412 and 
the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for 
asbestos, 40 CFR part 61, subpart M. The Complaint alleges that in the 
course of the March of 1995 demolition of a City-owned building known 
as the ``Old Police Station,'' the City and its demolition contractor, 
Don Maggi, violated the notice and inspection requirements of the 
asbestos NESHAP, 40 CFR 61.145(a) and (b).
    The Consent Decree settles all the claims asserted in the 
Complaint. It provides that the City and Don Maggi will pay civil 
penalties of $24,700 and $22,000 respectively and also requires them to 
undertake an asbestos training and monitoring program.
