Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Under the Clean Water Act

    Under 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby given that on July 23, 1997, a 
proposed Consent Decree in United States v. TurboCombustor Technology, 
Inc., Civil Action No. 97-14274-CIV-KLR was lodged with the United 
States District Court for the Southern District of Florida.
    In this action the United States sought to recover civil penalties 
and enjoin violations of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1319, for 
discharges from TurboCombustor Technology, Inc.'s (``TCT'') facility in 
Stuart, Florida. The United States alleged that TCT discharged low pH 
wastewater in violation of effluent limitations contained in the 
National General Pretreatment Standards regulations, 40 CFR part 403. 
The Consent Decree provides for a $200,000 civil penalty, enjoins 
discharges of low pH wastewater, and further requires monitoring and 
sampling of wastewater, evaluation of the facility for wastewater 
minimization, and reporting of results from environmental audits at the 
facility and at other facilities owned by TCT's parent company.
