DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

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

    Notice is hereby given that a proposed Consent Decree in United 
States v. AAR Manufacturing Group, Inc., Civil Action No. 1:96 CV-58 
(W.D. Mich.), entered into by the United States and AAR Manufacturing 
Group, Inc. (``AAR''), was lodged on February 27, 1997, with the United 
States District Court for the Western District of Michigan. The 
proposed Consent Decree resolves certain claims of the United States 
under the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7401, et seq., with respect to AAR's 
Cadillac Manufacturing Facility, in Cadillac, Michigan. The Complaint 
alleges that AAR violated two of the conditions of its State issued 
permit by exceeding its emissions limits and duration of operation of 
its air cargo handling manufacturing equipment. Under the terms of the 
proposed Consent Decree the defendant shall pay the United States a 
total of $210,000, and perform a Supplemental Environmental Project as 
specified in the Consent Decree, in return for the United States' 
covenant not to sue for claims alleged in the Complaint for violations 
of the Michigan State Implementation Plan. The SEP consists of the 
installation and operation of a greater capacity than required 
Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer to control the emissions of violatile 
organic compounds, resulting in substantial pollution reductions at the 
Cadillac Facility.
