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. Lone 
Star Industries, Inc., Civil Action No. 1:96CV33SNL, was lodged on

    In its complaint, which was filed along with the Consent Decree,

(``Lone Star'') failed to comply with Section 113(b) of the Clean Air

(``NSPS'') for Nonmetallic Mineral Processing Plants, 40 C.F.R. Part

U.S.C. Sec. 7411, in that the defendant failed to comply with certain 
reporting and testing requirements at its nonmetallic mineral 
processing plant located in Cape Girardeau, Missouri.
    Under the Consent Decree, Lone Star will pay a civil penalty in the 
amount of $40,000 to the United States. In addition, Lone Star will 
implement a Supplemental Environmental Project (``SEP'') at its Cape 
Girardeau plant designed to control fugitive dust emissions by paving 
certain roads within the plant at an estimated cost of $150,000 by no
