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.
