DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


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

    On November 19, 2019, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the District 
of Puerto Rico in the lawsuit entitled United States of America v. 
Puerto Rico CVS Pharmacy, LLC, Civil Action No. 3:19-cv-02075.
    The Consent Decree resolves the Resource Conservation and Recovery 
Act violations as alleged in the Complaint, also filed by the United 
States on November 19, 2019. The violations alleged in the Complaint 
arose in 2013 and include Puerto Rico CVS Pharmacy's (``CVS'') failure 
to comply with certain RCRA regulations governing management of 
hazardous waste at some of its Puerto Rico stores. Specifically, they 
include, among others, a failure to maintain hazardous waste containers 
closed, failure to mark the accumulation start date on hazardous waste 
containers, and a failure to maintain a contingency plan on site.
    The Consent Decree requires CVS to conduct a compliance assessment 
of its Puerto Rico stores, and to conduct training for Puerto Rico 
store managers. The Consent Decree also requires CVS to pay a $60,000 
penalty.
    The Department of Justice will receive, for a period of thirty (30) 
days from the date of this publication, comments relating to the 
Consent Decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant Attorney
