DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Settlement Agreement Under the Clean Air Act

    Notice is hereby given that on May 29, 2014, a proposed consent 
decree in United States v. Landfill Technologies of Arecibo Corp., et 
al., No. 3:14-cv-01438, was lodged with the United States District 
Court of the District of Puerto Rico. The United States filed this 
action on the same day that the consent decree was lodged with the 
Court. The complaint alleges that defendants Landfill Technologies of 
Arecibo Corp., the Municipality of Arecibo, and the Puerto Rico Land 
Authority violated the Clean Air Act by failing to timely install a gas 
collection and control system at the municipal solid waste landfill 
located in Arecibo, Puerto Rico.
    The settlement requires that the defendants operate the landfill's 
gas collection and control system in compliance with the applicable 
regulations, improve landfill operations, implement a recycling and 
composting plan, and pay civil penalties totaling $350,000. The consent 
decree resolves the civil claims of the United States for the Clean Air 
Act violations alleged in the complaint through the date of lodging of 
the consent decree.
    The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on 
the consent decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant
