DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Settlement Agreement Under the Clean Air Act

    Notice is hereby given that on August 7, 2014, a proposed Consent 
Decree in United States v. Coyne International Enterprises Corp., No. 
1:14-cv-13260, was lodged with the United States District Court for the 
District of Massachusetts. The United States filed this action, on the 
same day that the Consent Decree was lodged with the Court, under the 
Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq. Coyne International Enterprises 
Corp. (``Coyne'') operates an industrial laundry facility in New 
Bedford, Massachusetts (``Facility''). The Complaint alleges that Coyne 
violated the Clean Air Act by constructing the Facility in 1994, and by 
modifying the Facility in 2005, without first obtaining a permit 
authorizing such construction or modification in accordance with the 
nonattainment New Source Review provisions of the Clean Air Act, 42 
U.S.C. 7501-7515.
    The Consent Decree requires Coyne to pay a $50,000 civil penalty. 
The Consent Decree also requires Coyne to commence the operation of a 
Volatile Organic Compound (``VOC'') control system at the Facility that 
will achieve at least a 50% reduction of VOC emissions associated with 
the laundering of print and furniture towels by December 31, 2014 or, 
in the alternative, to cease the laundering of print and furniture 
towels at the Facility as of that date until such a control system is 
installed. The Consent Decree resolves the civil claims of the United 
States for the violations alleged in the Complaint as well as in the 
Notice of Violation issued by the Environmental Protection Agency to 
Coyne on August 11, 2011, 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 
Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, and 
should refer to United States v. Coyne International Enterprises Corp.,
