Notice of Lodging of Addendum to Consent Decree Under the Clean 
Air Act

    Under 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby given that on February 11, 
2002, a proposed Addendum to the Consent Decree which will modify a 
settlement previously entered by the Court on March 19, 2001 in United 
States and People of the State of Illinois v. Archer Daniels Midland 
Company (CD Illinois), (Civil No. 00-2338), was lodged with the United 
States District Court for the Central District of Illinois. The Consent 
Decree resolved claims on behalf of the United States Environmental 
Protection Agency (``EDPA'') and the Illinois Environmental Protection 
Agency (``IEPA'') against the Archer Dainels Midland Company (``ADM''). 
The Complaint, which was filed simultaneously with the lodging of the 
Decree, alleged violations of the Prevention of Significant 
Deterioration (``PSD'') requirements of Part C of the Clean Air Act 
(the ``CAA''), 42 U.S.C. 7470-7492, and the regulations promulgated 
thereunder at 40 CFR 52.21 (the ``PSD Rules'') at the Decatur Illinois 
plant.
    Under the Addendum to the Consent Decree, ADM will install further 
controls on feed dryers #5 and #6 for more complete reduction of PM and 
will implement new technology for the control of volatile organic 
compound (``VOC'') emissions from these units by no later than 
September 30, 2003. The Addendum also establishes interm limits to 
ensure that PM emissions are minimized pending the installation of the 
additional controls. The State of Illinois is joining with the United 
States in this action as a signatory to the Addendum.

days from the date of this publication comments relating to the 
Addendum to the Consent Decree. Comments should be addressed to the

v. Archer Daniels Midland Company, D.J. Ref. 90-5-2-1-2035/2.
    The Consent Decree may be examined at the Office of the United 
States Attorney, Central District of Illinois, 600 East Monroe Street,
