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,

Library.
