DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
 

Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Pursuant to the Clean Air Act

    In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 C.F.R. Sec. 50.7, notice 
is hereby given that a proposed consent decree in United States v. Dext 
Company of Maryland, C.A. No. WN92-1884 (D.Md.) was lodged on November 
23, 1994, with the United States District Court for the District of 
Maryland. The consent decree addresses alleged violations of Section 
113 of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. Sec. 9413, which occurred at the 
Dext Company of Maryland (``Dext'') plant in Baltimore, Maryland. 
Specifically, Dext allegedly violated the Maryland State Implementation 
Plan (``SIP'') because it emitted particulate matter into the ambient 
air and failed to reduce sufficiently emissions from its plant of 
volatile organic compounds. In settlement of the alleged violations, 
Dext has agreed to install a wet scrubbing system at the plant and to 
pay a civil penalty of $100,000.
