DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


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

    On June 6, 2018, the Department of Justice filed a Complaint and 
concurrently lodged a proposed Consent Decree to resolve claims by the 
United States and the State of West Virginia against Defendant Felman 
Production, LLC for violations of the Clean Air Act, specifically the 
National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for 
Ferroalloys Production as codified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart XXX, 
effective May 20, 1999, as amended on March 22, 2001, as well as West 
Virginia's State Implementation Plan and Defendant's Title V Permit. 
The Complaint alleges that Defendant failed to comply with opacity 
standards, performance testing and monitoring requirements, and good 
air pollution control practices at its silicomanganese facility in 
Letart, West Virginia. The proposed Consent Decree addresses the 
alleged violations by requiring Defendant to install pollution-control 
measures, conduct additional monitoring for pollution, and pay a 
$200,000 civil penalty, equal shares of which are allocated between the 
United States and the State of West Virginia.
