DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Public Comment Period for Proposed Modification to 
Consent Decree Under the Clean Air Act

    Under 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby given that, for a period of 30 
days, the United States will receive public comments on a proposed 
Modification to Consent Decree in United States v. Cargill, 
Incorporated, (Civil Action No. 05-2037 JMR/FLN), which was lodged with 
the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota on July 
11, 2008.
    This proposed Modification applies only to Cargill's Dayton, Ohio, 
corn mill facility. The Dayton facility is one of 27 ethanol, corn mill 
and oilseed extraction plants subject to the original Consent Decree 
which was entered by the Court on March 3, 2006. The settlement 
resolved claims against the Dayton facility, among others, pursuant to 
Sections 113(b) and 211(d) of the Clean Air Act (``CAA''), 42 U.S.C. 
7413(b) & 7545(d).
    This proposed Modification allows for an 18-month extension of the 
deadline for installing air pollution controls for volatile organic 
compound (``VOC'') emissions at the integrated bran/feed drying process 
units, while accelerating the installation of nitrous oxide-reducing 
burners (``low-NOX burners'') on the process boiler. 
Overall, EPA estimates that the schedule change proposed in the 
Modification will result in a one-time net emission reduction of 147 
tons from estimates based on the original Decree requirements.
    The Department of Justice will receive, for thirty (30) days from 
the date of this publication, comments relating to the Modification. 
Comments should be addressed to the Assistant Attorney General, 
Environment and Natural Resources Division, and either e-mailed to 
[email protected] or mailed to P.O. Box 7611, U.S. 
Department of Justice, Washington, DC 20044-7611. In either case, the 
comments should refer to United States v. Cargill, Inc., D.J. Ref. 90-
5-2-1-07481/1.
    During the public comment period, the Modification may be examined 
on the following Department of Justice Web site, http://www.usdoj.gov/enrd/Consent_Decrees.html. A copy of the Modification may also be 
obtained by mail from the Consent Decree Library, P.O. Box 7611, U.S. 
Department of Justice, Washington, DC 20044-7611, or by faxing or e-

no. (202) 514-0097, phone confirmation number (202) 514-1547. In 
requesting a copy from the Consent Decree Library, please enclose a

payable to the U.S. Treasury or, if by e-mail or fax, forward a check
