DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


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

    In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is 
hereby given that a proposed consent decree in United States v. Point 
Corp., et al., Civil Action No. 3:97-0294, was lodged on March 27, 1997 
with the United States District Court for the Southern District of West 
Virginia. The consent decree settles claims against Point Corp. 
(`'Point'') and Marshall T. Reynolds (``Reynolds'') pursuant to the 
Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7401, et seq., for violations of the asbestos 
NESHAP, 40 CFR part 61, subpart M, with respect to the demolition of 
two buildings owned by Point. The decree requires that Point and 
Reynolds pay a civil penalty of $350,000. The buildings were demolished 
several years ago, and the defendants do not engage in asbestos related 
operations. Accordingly, the decree does not provide for any injunctive 
relief. The decree does not resolve claims against Rayburn Darst, doing 
business as Environmental Protection Abatement, the asbestos removal 
contractor involved in the demolition.
