DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


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

    On May 12, 2015, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
consent decree with the United States District Court for the District 
of Hawaii in the lawsuit entitled United States v. City and County of 
Honolulu, Civil Action No. CV 15-00173 BMK.
    In this action, the United States filed a complaint under the Clean 
Air Act alleging violations at the Kapa'a and Kalaheo Sanitary Landfill 
(``Landfill'') located on the island of Oahu in Hawaii. The United 
States' complaint alleges violations for the City and County of 
Honolulu's (``CCH'') failure to timely submit a design plan for a gas 
collection and control system (``GCCS'') and failure to timely install 
and operate a GCCS. The consent decree requires CCH to pay a civil 
penalty in the amount of $875,000 and to implement a Supplemental 
Environmental Project comprised of the installation and operation of a 
photovoltaic system at its waste-to-energy facility located on Hanua 
Street, Kapolei, Hawaii. The consent decree states that, during the 
period of the negotiations of this consent decree, CCH submitted a GCCS 
design plan approved by EPA for the Landfill, installed and commenced 
operation of the GCCS, developed a startup, shutdown and malfunction 
plan, and submitted a complete application for a Title V covered source 
permit.
    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
