DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Judgment Under The Resource 
Conservation and Recovery Act

    On September 30, 2020, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
consent judgment with the United States District Court for the Eastern 
District of New York in the lawsuit entitled United States of America 
v. Nassau County, New York, Case No. 2:20-CV-4648.
    The United States filed this lawsuit to seek civil penalties and 
injunctive relief for violations of the Resource Conservation and 
Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. 6991e et seq. (``RCRA''). The alleged 
violations stem from Nassau County's (``Nassau'') failure to comply 
with RCRA's underground storage tank (``UST'') regulations and with an 
EPA administrative order that required Nassau to comply with RCRA 
requirements regarding USTs owned or operated by Nassau at 48 of its 
facilities. The Consent Judgment requires Nassau to bring its USTs into 
compliance with the UST regulations, and to install and operate a 
centralized monitoring system. The Consent Judgment also requires 
Nassau to pay a civil penalty of $427,500.
    The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on 
the proposed Consent Judgment. Comments should be addressed to the 
Assistant Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, 
and should refer to Nassau County, New York, Civil Action No. 2:20-CV-
