DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Notice of Lodging of Supplemental

Consent Decree Pursuant to the Clean

Air Act

In accordance with the Clean Air Act,

42 U.S.C. § 7413 (g), and Departmental

Policy, 28 CFR § 50.7, notice is hereby

given that a proposed Supplemental

Consent Decree in Concerned Citizens

for Nuclear Safety, Inc. & Patrick Jerome

Chavez v. United States Dep’t of Energy

& Siegfried S. Hecker, Civil No. 94–1039

M (D.N.M.), was lodged with the United

States District Court for the District of

New Mexico on September 26, 1997.

Final approval and entry of the

proposed Supplemental Consent Decree

are subject to the requirements of

Section 113(g) of the Clean Air Act, 42

U.S.C. § 7413(g), and the provisions of

28 CFR § 50.7.

In this case, Plaintiffs CCNS and

Patrick Chavez filed suit against

Defendants alleging that Los Alamos

National Laboratory (‘‘LANL’’) is not in

full compliance with the national

emission standard for radionuclides at

DOE facilities, set forth at 40 CFR

61.90–61.97 (‘‘Subpart H’’). On March

20, 1997, the court entered a Consent

Decree resolving Plaintiffs’ claims. One

of the provisions of the Consent Decree

requires DOE to fund up to four

independent compliance audits of

LANL. The Decree also provided for

DOE to pay CCNS’ expert and attorneys’

fees incurred in monitoring compliance

with the Consent Decree, including

monitoring the independent audits,

pursuant to the attorneys’ fees

provisions of the Clean Air Act.

On July 24, 1997, CCNS filed a

Motion to Enforce Consent Decree, by

which CCNS sought to resolve a dispute

with DOE regarding the appropriate

scope of activities to monitor the first

independent audit. CCNS and DOE have

reached a settlement of this motion,

which takes the form of a proposed

Supplemental Consent Decree.

The Department of Justice will receive

written comments relating to the

proposed Supplemental Consent Decree
