DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Under the Clean Air Act

    Notice is hereby given that on December 30, 2010, a proposed 
Consent Decree in United States v. Gasco Energy Inc., et al., Civil 
Action No. 2:10-CV-01282-PMW, was lodged with the United States 
District Court for the District of Utah.
    In this action the United States seeks civil penalties and 
injunctive relief for alleged violations of the Clean Air Act 
(``CAA''), 42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq., at Gasco Energy Inc.'s (``Gasco'') 
Riverbend compressor station in Uintah County, Utah. Specifically, the 
United States alleges that Gasco failed to control the emission of 
hazardous air pollutants (``HAPs'') as required by Section 112 of the 
CAA, 42 U.S.C. 7412, and 40 CFR part 63, subpart HH (applicable to 
certain glycol dehydrators at natural gas production facilities) and 
subpart ZZZZ (applicable to certain reciprocating internal combustion 
engines at natural gas production facilities). The proposed consent 
decree would require Gasco to pay a civil penalty of $350,000, comply 
with regulatory requirements, and make additional reductions in 
emissions through a requirement to retrofit or replace certain high 
bleed pneumatic controllers with ``low bleed'' components.
    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 General, 
Environment and Natural Resources Division, and either e-mailed to
