Act

    On May 22, 2019, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
Consent Decree (``Consent Decree'') with the United States District 
Court for the District of Connecticut in the lawsuit entitled United 
States and the State of New Jersey, Department of Environmental 
Protection v. Gloucester County Utilities Authority, Civil Action No.

Environmental Protection Agency (``EPA'') and the State of New Jersey,

Waste Combustion provisions in Section 129 of the Clean Air Act, 42

Incineration Units Constructed on or Before October 14, 2010, 40 CFR

this case, among other things, requires that GCUA pay a civil penalty 
of $132,500 in two installments. In addition, the Consent Decree
