DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the Clean Air
Act and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
On December 12, 2018, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed
consent decree with the United States District Court for the District
of Connecticut in the lawsuit entitled United States v. Tradebe
Treatment and Recycling Northeast, LLC, Civil Action No. 3:18-cv-02031.
In a complaint, the United States, on behalf of the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, alleges that Tradebe Treatment and Recycling
Northeast, LLC violated the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7401, et seq., for
failure to comply with EPA regulations for off-site waste and recovery
operations, 40 CFR part 63, subpart DD, at its facilities located in
Bridgeport and Meriden, Connecticut. The Complaint also alleges a
number of violations at the facilities for failure to comply with
permits issued under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42
U.S.C. 6901, et seq., and its underlying regulations at 40 CFR part
264, subparts AA, BB and CC. The proposed consent decree, among other
things, requires that Tradebe maintain full compliance with its RCRA
permits at the facilities and with applicable hazardous waste
regulations, including RCRA air emissions regulations. Both facilities
will install new air emission control systems to permanently replace
their current control systems, and will adopt additional emission
reduction measures for a two year period. Tradebe will also pay a
$525,000 settlement penalty.
