BILLING CODE 4410–15–M

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree

Pursuant to the Clean Air Act

In accordance with Departmental

policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby

given that a proposed consent decree in

U.S. v. Gallatin Steel Company, Civil

No. 99–30 (E.D. Ky.) was lodged on

October 5, 2000, with the United States

District Court for the Eastern District of

Kentucky.

The consent decree settles claims for

civil penalties and injunctive relief

against Gallatin Steel Company for

violations of the Clean Air Act and

Kentucky’s State Implementation Plan

(‘‘SIP’’). The United States alleges that

Gallatin Steel Company violated the

Clean Air Act and the Kentucky SIP

because: (1) It exceeded the limits in a

permit issued by the Kentucky Division

of Air Quality (‘‘KDAQ’’) in 1993 for

NOX and CO from its electric arc

furnaces (‘‘EAFs’’); (2) violated permit

NOX emissions limits at its reheat

furnace; (3) constructed emissions units

of regulated pollutants without a permit;

(4) started up EAFs without operating

emission control equipment as required

by its permit; (5) failed to include

emissions from emissions units in

permit applications; (6) failed to use

reasonable precautions during the

loading and unloading of scrap in the

scrap yard to prevent fugitive dust from

becoming airborne; and (7)

circumvented Prevention of Significant

Deterioration (‘‘PSD’’) review as

required by Section 165 of the Clean Air

Act, 42 U.S.C. § 7475, and 401 KAR

51:017.

The proposed consent decree

provides that Gallatin Steel Company

will pay a civil penalty of $925,000 and

install a new dust evacuation system in

the melt shop and a new dust

suppression system to minimize fugitive

dust emissions in the scrap yard. In

addition, Gallatin has agreed to

supplement its PSD and Title V permit

applications to include emissions from

the sources that were not included in

prior applications. Finally, Gallatin has

agreed not to challenge a determination

by the KDAQ that emissions from an

onsite slag processing plant owned by

Harsco, an independent company, will

be treated as emissions from the steel

mill for PSD and Title V purposes.

The Department of Justice will

receive, for a period of thirty (30) days

from the date of this publication,

comments relating to the proposed

consent decree. Comments should be

addressed to the Assistant Attorney

General for the Environment and

Natural Resources Division, Department

of Justice, Washington, DC 20530, and

should refer to U.S. v. Gallatin Steel

Company, DOJ Ref. #90–5–2–1–2115.

The proposed consent decree may be

examined at the office of the United

States Attorney, for the Eastern District

of Kentucky, 110 West Vine Street,

Lexington, Kentucky 40596–3077; and

the Region 4 Office of the

Environmental Protection Agency, 61

Forsyth Street, S.W., Atlanta, Georgia

30303. A copy of the proposed consent

decree may be obtained by mail from

the Consent Decree Library, P.O. Box

7611, Washington, DC 20044–7611. In

requesting a copy please refer to the

referenced case and enclose a check in

the amount of $9.00 (25 cents per page

reproduction costs), payable to the
