Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the Resource 
Conservation and Recovery Act

    On April 16, 2013, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the District 
of the Virgin Islands in the lawsuit entitled United States v. 
Government of the Virgin Islands, et al., Civil Action No. 3:10-cv-48.
    In this action the United States seeks, among other things, 
injunctive relief and civil penalties for the failure by Joseph and

Bovoni Landfill on St. Thomas in compliance with a U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency administrative order issued under the Resource 
Conservation and Recovery Act. The proposed Consent Decree provides for 
the Hodges to remove and dispose of off-site used tires remaining on 
their property and to pay a civil penalty of $100,000.
