Notice of Lodging of Consent Judgment Under the Clean Air Act

    Notice is hereby given that on July 28, 2010, a proposed Consent 
Judgment in United States v. Nassau Chromium Plating Co., Inc., No. CV-
09-2706, was lodged with the United States District Court for the 
Eastern District of New York.
    The proposed Consent Judgment resolves claims of the United States, 
on behalf of the Environmental Protection Agency (``EPA''), under the 
Clean Air Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq. (hereinafter, the 
``Act''), against Defendant Nassau Chromium Plating Co., Inc. 
(``Defendant''). The United States alleges that Defendant has owned and 
operated a facility located at 112-122 Second Street, Mineola, New 
York, that sprays paint and applies chromium on, among other things, 
aluminum and steel parts, at which Defendant violated Sections 101-114 
of the Act, 42 U.S.C. 7401-7414, and its implementing regulations, 40 
CFR part 63, subpart N.
    The Consent Judgment requires the Defendant to pay a civil penalty 
of $4,000.00, which was calculated after conducting an ability-to-pay 
analysis. The Consent Judgment also provides for injunctive relief that 
requires Defendant to maintain compliance with the provisions of 
Sections 101-114 of the Act, 42 U.S.C. 7401-7414, and its implementing 
regulations, 40 CFR part 63, subpart N, and submit reports to EPA for a 
three-year period demonstrating such compliance.
    The Department of Justice will receive for a period of 30 days from 
the date of this publication comments relating to the proposed Consent 
Judgment. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant Attorney 
General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, and either e-

(E.D.N.Y.), D.J. Ref. 90-5-2-1-08190.

United States Attorney, Eastern District of New York, 271 Cadman Plaza 
East, 7th Fl., Brooklyn, New York 11201, and at the United States
