Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Under the Clean Air Act

    Notice is hereby given that on July 23, 2009, a proposed Consent 
Decree (``Decree'') in United States v. Colorado Interstate Gas Co., 
Civil Action No. 2:09-CV-0649-TS, was lodged with the United States 
District Court for the District of Utah, Central Division.
    The Consent Decree requires Colorado Interstate Gas Co. to (1) 
Achieve and maintain compliance with the Clean Air Act (``CAA'') and 
its implementing regulations; (2) pay a civil penalty and emission fees 
totaling $1,020,000; and (3) fund for one year the operation of two 
ambient air monitoring stations on the Uintah and Ouray Indian 
Reservation.
    The United States filed a Complaint with the Consent Decree 
pursuant to Section 113(b) of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7413(b), 
alleging Clean Air Act violations at a natural gas compressor station 
owned and operated by CIG in Uintah County, Utah, within the exterior 
boundaries of the Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation. The Consent 
Decree would resolve the claims alleged in the Complaint. The ultimate 
entry of the Consent Decree by the District Court of Utah would end 
this litigation.
