    On July 25, 2022, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
consent decree with the United States District Court for the District 
of Colorado in the lawsuit entitled United States and State of Colorado 
v. DCP Operating Company, LP, et al., Civil Action No. 1:22-cv-01829-

lawsuit under the Clean Air Act against Defendants DCP Operating

Partners Colorado LLC; DCP Assets Holding, LP; and DCP Lucerne 2 Plant 
LLC, alleging violations of leak detection and repair requirements at 
seven natural gas processing plants in Colorado. The complaint seeks 
injunctive relief and civil penalties for the defendants' alleged 
failures to monitor and repair leaking equipment across the seven
