DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


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

    On January 14, 2021, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
consent decree with the United States District Court for the Middle 
District of North Carolina in United States v. Pilkington North 
America, Inc., Civil Action No. 1:21-cv-00040.
    The United States filed a complaint under Clean Air Act (CAA) 
Sections 113(b) and 167, 42 U.S.C. 7413(b) and 7477, seeking injunctive 
relief for the Defendant's alleged failure to (1) obtain appropriate 
permits before modifying and subsequently operating Furnace No. 1 at 
its glass manufacturing facility in Laurinburg, North Carolina, and (2) 
install and employ the best available control technology (BACT) to 
control emissions of nitrogen oxides (NO<INF>X</INF>), sulfur dioxide 
(SO<INF>2</INF>), and particulate matter (PM) from Furnace No. 1, as 
required by the CAA. The United States simultaneously lodged a consent 
decree that would settle the claims in the complaint.
    Under the proposed decree, the Defendant will have to (1) install 
equipment on Furnace No. 1 to control emissions of NO<INF>X</INF>, 
SO<INF>2</INF>, and PM from the furnace; (2) install equipment on 
Furnace No. 1 to continuously monitor NO<INF>X</INF> and SO<INF>2</INF> 
emissions from the furnace and perform annual stack tests to monitor PM 
emissions from the furnace; (3) meet interim and final limits for 
emissions of NO<INF>X</INF>, SO<INF>2</INF>, and PM from Furnace No. 1; 
(4) incorporate certain requirements of the decree into a permit; and 
(5) perform a project to mitigate excess PM emissions from the 
Laurinburg facility.

the proposed consent decree. Comments should be addressed to the 
Assistant Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division,
