DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Under the Clean Air Act

    In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 C.F.R. Sec. 50.7, notice 
is hereby given that a proposed consent decree in the case of United 
States v. Las Vegas Paving Corp., Civil Action No. CVS-00-0049-DWH-LRL 
(D. Nevada), was lodged with the United States District Court for the 
District of Nevada on January 10, 2000.
    The proposed consent decree resolves claims that the United States 
asserted against Las Vegas Paving Corp. (LVPC) in a civil complaint 
filed concurrently with the lodging of the consent decree. The 
complaint alleges that LVPC installed and operated five internal 
combustion engines at its Lone Mountain facility in Clark County, 
Nevada, in violation of permitting requirements of the Nevada State 
Implementation Plan for Clark County, and that LVPC installed and 
operated affected facilities at its Apex facility in Clark County, 
Nevada, and failed to comply with notification and performance test 
requirements of the New Source Performance Standards of 40 C.F.R. Part 
60 Subparts A, I, and OOO.
    The proposed consent decree requires defendant to pay a civil 
penalty of $82,500. In addition, defendant is required to apply timing 
retardation to one engine and conduct a source test on that engine, 
apply for permits for two engines, and cease the operation of three 
engines unless it applies for permits.
    The Department of Justice will accept comments relating to this 
consent decree for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of this 
publication. Address your comments to the Assistant Attorney General 
for the Environment and Natural Resources Division, Department of 
Justice, Washington, DC 20530, and send a copy to the Environmental

Suite 870, San Francisco, CA 94105. Your comments should refer to

DWH-LRL (D. Nevada), and DOJ No. 90-5-2-1-2220.
