DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decrees Under the Clean 
Water Act and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act

    On August 28, 2017, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
consent decree with the United States District Court for the Northern 
District of Georgia in the lawsuit entitled United States of America 
and State of Georgia v. Woco Pep Oil, Inc., Civil Action No. 1:17-cv-
3249.
    The United States and State of Georgia filed this lawsuit under the 
Clean Water Act (``CWA'') and the Resource Conservation and Recovery 
Act (``RCRA''). The complaint names Woco Pep Oil, Inc. as defendant. 
The complaint seeks injunctive relief necessary for the Defendant to 
achieve compliance with the CWA and RCRA, as well as the imposition of 
civil penalties for violations of the law. Under the proposed Consent 
Decree, the defendant agrees to pay a civil penalty of $24,000 to be 
divided evenly between the State and the United States. The Defendant 
further agrees under the proposed Consent Decree to perform injunctive 
relief which will bring it into compliance with the law and to perform 
a Supplemental Environmental Project (``SEP''). The SEP requires the 
Defendant to install advanced technology to improve leak detection at 
its facilities that exceeds the minimum standards set forth in 
applicable regulations.
