Notice of Consent Decree in Action Brought Under the Clean Air 
Act

    Notice is hereby given that a proposed Consent Decree in United 
States v. Lafarge, et al., Civil Action No. 4-94CV-356Y, was lodged 
with the United States District Court for the Northern District of 
Texas on December 29, 1994. This Consent Decree resolves a Complaint 
filed by the United States against Victor Yorstoun pursuant to Section 
112 of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7412.
    The United States Department of Justice brought this action on 
behalf of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, seeking to impose 
civil penalties and injunctive relief on Lafarge, Inc., Victor Yorstoun 
and Art O'Shea for their alleged violations of the National Emission 
Standards for their alleged violation of the National Emission 
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (``the NESHAP'') for asbestos 
during demolition activities at a mill building at the Lafarge cement 
manufacturing and distribution facility in Fort worth, Texas. The 
NESHAP for asbestos consists of regulations promulgated by EPA pursuant 
to the Clean Air Act.
    The settlement in this case requires defendant Yorstoun to comply 
with the asbestos NESHAP in all future demolition and activities which 
he owns or operates.
