DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the Clean Air 
Act

    On January 6, 2015, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the State of 
New Jersey in the lawsuit entitled United States v. E.I. duPont de 
Nemours and Company, Inc., Civil Action No. 1:15-cv-00102-NLH-AMD.
    The United States filed this lawsuit under the Clean Air Act, 42 
U.S.C. 7401, et seq., and the Emergency Planning and Community Right-
to-Know Act, 42 U.S.C. 11001, et seq. The United States' complaint 
seeks civil penalties and injunctive relief for violations of the 
regulations that govern equipment leak standards from organic chemical 
manufacturing facilities (specifically, the chlorofluorocarbon 
regulations, 40 CFR part 82, subpart F (``CFC Regulations''); the 
national emissions standards for miscellaneous organic chemical 
manufacturing, 40 CFR part 63, subpart FFFF; the equipment leak 
standards of 40 CFR part 63, subpart H; and the company's CAA Title V 
operating permit). The violations occurred at du Pont's Chambers Works 
manufacturing facility in Deepwater, New Jersey. The Decree requires du 
Pont to pay a civil penalty of $530,520, and treat any refrigeration 
units with secondary refrigeration loops at the facility as covered by 
the CFC regulations.
