In accordance with Departmental

policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby

given that a proposed consent decree in

United States v. Franklin Smelting &

Refining Corp., Civil Action No. 97–

0821, was lodged on February 4, 1997

The complaint, filed

contemporaneously with the lodging of

the proposed consent decree, sought

civil penalties and injunctive relief

against Franklin Smelting & Refining

Corporation (‘‘Franklin Smelting’’)

alleged that Franklin Smelting has

violated the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C.

§ 7401 et seq., and the Pennsylvania

Implementation Plan.

Under the proposed consent decree,

Franklin Smelting has agreed to install

and operate pollution control

equipment, including building

enclosures and baghouse systems at its

facility at Castor Avenue of Richmond

by Franklin Smelting of its financial

additional civil penalties.
