DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the Clean Air 
Act and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act

    On December 12, 2018, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
consent decree with the United States District Court for the District 
of Connecticut in the lawsuit entitled United States v. Tradebe 
Treatment and Recycling Northeast, LLC, Civil Action No. 3:18-cv-02031. 
In a complaint, the United States, on behalf of the U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, alleges that Tradebe Treatment and Recycling 
Northeast, LLC violated the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7401, et seq., for 
failure to comply with EPA regulations for off-site waste and recovery 
operations, 40 CFR part 63, subpart DD, at its facilities located in 
Bridgeport and Meriden, Connecticut. The Complaint also alleges a 
number of violations at the facilities for failure to comply with 
permits issued under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 
U.S.C. 6901, et seq., and its underlying regulations at 40 CFR part 
264, subparts AA, BB and CC. The proposed consent decree, among other 
things, requires that Tradebe maintain full compliance with its RCRA 
permits at the facilities and with applicable hazardous waste 
regulations, including RCRA air emissions regulations. Both facilities 
will install new air emission control systems to permanently replace 
their current control systems, and will adopt additional emission 
reduction measures for a two year period. Tradebe will also pay a 
$525,000 settlement penalty.
    The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on 
the proposed Consent Decree. Comments should be addressed to the 
Assistant Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division,

LLC, D.J. Ref. No. 90-5-2-1-11838. All comments must be submitted no
