    Pursuant to 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby given that on May 6, 
2008, a proposed consent decree in United States v. Carmeuse Lime & 
Stone, Inc., Civil Action No. 2:08-CV-00081-WOB, was lodged with the

    This Consent Decree will resolve claims asserted by the United 
States against Carmeuse for civil penalties based on violations of its 
PSD/operating permit (``the Permit'') and the PSD provisions of the 
Kentucky State Implementation Plan (``SIP'') at Carmeuse's Black River 
plant (``the

alleges that Carmeuse violated the Permit by not implementing best 
available control technology (``BACT'') for two lime kilns at the

    The proposed Consent Decree resolves these claims by requiring 
Carmeuse to pay a civil penalty in the amount of $100,000 to the United
