DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Material Modification to Consent Decree 
Under the Clean Air Act

    Pursuant to Department of Justice policy, notice is hereby given 
that, on June 14, 2011, a proposed Second Material Modification to 
Consent Decree (``Second Decree Modification'') in United States, et 
al. v. Bunge North America, Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 2:06-cv-
02209-MPM-DGB (C.D. Ill.) was lodged with the United States District 
Court for the Central District of Illinois. The original Consent Decree 
in this matter, entered on January 16, 2007, addressed alleged 
violations of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7401-7671q, and its 
implementing regulations at 12 soybean and corn processing facilities 
owned and operated by Bunge North America, Inc. and several affiliated 
entities (collectively referred to herein as ``Bunge''). A First Decree 
Modification, entered on June 30, 2010, required Bunge to reduce air 
pollutant emissions at its Decatur, Indiana facility by installing new 
equipment to recover and re-use certain condensed waste water streams 
at the facility. The proposed Second Decree Modification

[[Page 35472]]

would require Bunge to perform two substitute projects at the Decatur 
facility--in lieu of the waste water recovery project--that are 
expected to yield greater air pollutant emission reductions: (1) A 
project to recover waste heat from boilers' continuous blowdown; and 
(2) an improved turbine flash steam heat recovery system.
    The Department of Justice will receive comments relating to the 
Second Decree Modification for a period of thirty (30) days from the
