DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


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

    On July 2, 2018, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the Western 
District of Missouri in the lawsuit entitled United States v. MFA 
Incorporated, and MFA Enterprises, Inc., Civil Action No.: 2:18-cv-
04133-WJE.

    The United States, on behalf of the United States Environmental 
Protection Agency, filed a complaint against MFA Incorporated and MFA 
Enterprises, Inc. (collectively, ``MFA'') seeking injunctive relief and 
the imposition of civil penalties for violations of Section 112(r) of 
the Clean Air Act (``CAA'') in connection with MFA's storage and 
handling of anhydrous ammonia at nine of its farm supply centers in 
Missouri. The Consent Decree requires MFA to pay a cash civil penalty 
of $850,000 for the violations alleged in the complaint, perform 
injunctive relief, and complete a Supplemental Environmental Project 
that involves installing electronic shut-off systems for anhydrous 
ammonia at no fewer than 53 facilities. In return, the United States 
agrees not to pursue MFA under Section 112(r) of the Clean Air Act for 
the violations alleged in the complaint.
