Background

On June 23, 1998, the Commission

received a request to review its

affirmative determinations concerning

affected the Commission’s silicon metal

investigations and determinations.

BILLING CODE 4410–15–M

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree

Pursuant to the Clean Air Act

Notice is hereby given that a proposed

Consent Decree (‘‘Decree’’) in United

States v. Lamb-Weston, Inc., Civil

Action No. 98–0280–S–LMB, was

lodged on July 1, 1998, with the United

States District Court for the District of

Idaho.

The complaint alleges that defendant

Lamb-Weston, Inc. (‘‘Lamb-Weston’’)

violated the New Source Performance

Standards (‘‘NSPS’’), 40 C.F.R. Part 60,

Subparts A and Db, at its potato

processing plants in American Falls,

and Twin Falls, Idaho (collectively ‘‘the

Plants’’). The Plants are affected

facilities as defined in the NSPS, which

require: notification of construction,

anticipated startup, and actual startup of

affected facilities; performance testing of

affected facilities; monitoring of

emissions from affected facilities; and

maintenance of records of such

monitoring. Lamb-Weston failed to

timely comply with these requirements

at the Plants, as required by Sections

111 and 113 of the Clean Air Act

(‘‘CAA’’), 42 U.S.C. 7411 and 7413.

Under the proposed Decree, LambWeston shall pay the United States a

civil penalty of $160,000. Lamb-Weston

will also complete two supplemental

environmental projects (‘‘SEPs’’), at a

cost of approximately $364,000. LambWeston’s first SEP is replacement of a

burner at its American Falls plant with

a Low-NOX Burner that will reduce NOX

emissions at that plant by at least 40

percent. Lamb-Weston’s second SEP is

the design, construction and operation

of a wastewater recycling system at its

Twin Falls plant. Currently, LambWeston uses a silt water system to

transport whole potatoes from the Twin
