DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Under the Clean Air Act

    Notice is hereby given that on February 8, 2001, a proposed consent 
decree in United States v. Forsch Polymer Corporation, Civil Action No. 
00-N-919, was lodged with the United States District Court for the 
District of Colorado.
    In this action, the United States sought injunctive relief and the 
payment of civil penalties for Forsch Polymer's alleged violations of 
the Stratospheric Ozone Protection Requirements set forth at Subchapter 
VI of the Clean Air Act, and EPA's implementing regulations. Under the 
proposed decree, the defendant Forsch Polymer Corporation will pay the 
sum of $32,000 over a one year period. The settlement sum is based upon 
the financial inability of Forsch Polymer Corporation to pay more. The 
proposed decree does not require that Forsch Polymer Corporation take 
any injunctive measures because Forsch Polymer Corporation has 
certified that it no longer uses the ozone depleting substance that 
formed the basis of the United States' action.
    The Department of Justice will receive for a period of thirty (30) 
days from the date of this publication comments relating to the 
proposed consent decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant 
Attorney General of the Environment and Natural Resources Division, 
Department of Justice, Washington, DC 20530, and should refer to United 
States v. Forsch Polymer Corporation, D.J. Ref. 90-5-2-1-06428.
    The proposed consent decree may be examined at the Office of the 
United States Attorney, 1225 17th Street, Suite 700, Denver, CO 80202; 
and at U.S. EPA Region VIII, 999 18th Street, Denver, Colorado 80202. A 
copy of the proposed consent decree may be obtained by mail from the 
Consent Decree Library, P.O. Box 7611, Washington, DC 20044. In 
requesting a copy, please enclose a check in the amount of $3.25 (25 
cents per page reproduction cost) payable to the Consent Decree 
Library.

Robert D. Brook,
Assistant Chief, Environmental Enforcement Section, Environment and 
Natural Resources Division.
