DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


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

    On May 2, 2017, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed consent 
decree with the United States District Court for the Southern District 
of Ohio in the lawsuit entitled United States v. PPG Industries Ohio, 
Inc., Civil Action No. 2:17-cv-00374.
    The United States filed this action under the Clean Air Act (CAA) 
relating to PPG's resin manufacturing plant in Delaware, Ohio. The 
United States' complaint seeks civil penalties and injunctive relief

of hazardous air pollutants from equipment such as valves and open-
ended lines, and requirements to reduce hazardous air pollutant 
emissions from storage tanks. Under the proposed Consent Decree, PPG 
will implement enhanced leak detection and repair measures and 
monitoring of storage tanks, and pay a civil penalty of $225,000.
