DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


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

    On March 19, 2018, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the Northern 
District of Ohio in the lawsuit entitled United States v. Martin 
Marietta Magnesia Specialties LLC, Civil Action No. 3:18-cv-00633.
    The proposed Consent Decree resolves claims under Clean Air Act 
(``CAA'') Sections 113(b) and 167, 42 U.S.C. 7413(b) and 7477, against 
Martin Marietta Magnesia Specialties LLC (``MMMS''), the owner and 
operator of a lime manufacturing plant located in Woodville, Sandusky 
County, Ohio. The Complaint asserts claims pursuant to the CAA for 
violations of the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (``PSD'') 
provisions of the CAA, 42 U.S.C. 7470-92, Title V of the Act, 42 U.S.C. 
7661 et seq., and the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (``NESHAP'') provisions of the CAA, 42 U.S.C. 7412, and the 
NESHAP regulations governing lime manufacturing plants, 40 CFR part 63, 
subparts A and AAAAA (``Lime MACT'').
    Under the proposed Consent Decree, and at an estimated cost of 
approximately $20 million, MMMS will address sulfur dioxide 
(``SO2'') and nitrogen oxide (``NOX'') emissions 
from the Woodville Facility through the addition of preheaters to Lime 
Kilns #1 and #2 and address particulate matter (``PM'') emissions by 
routing emissions from Kiln #1 through a baghouse. Kilns #1 and #2 will 
also be required to meet specified SO2 and NOX 
emissions limits. Additionally, under the proposed Consent Decree, MMMS 
will pay an $800,000 civil penalty and perform a vehicle replacement 
supplemental environmental project valued at $375,000.
    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
