 Department of Justice
 On June 9, 2022, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed consent decree with the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana in the lawsuit entitled 
                    *United States, Commonwealth of Kentucky Department for Environmental Protection, and Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality*
                     v. 
                    *Westlake Petrochemical LLC, et al.,*
                     Civil Action No. 22-cv-1577. Plaintiffs filed this lawsuit under the Clean Air Act. The complaint seeks injunctive relief and civil penalties based on violations of the Clean Air Act's New Source Review requirements, New Source Performance Standards, National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants, Maximum Achievable Control Technology Standards, “Title V” program requirements and operating permits, and related Kentucky and Louisiana state implementation plan requirements. The alleged violations involve flares used at three petrochemical manufacturing facilities owned and operated by the defendant, in Calvert City, Kentucky and Lake Charles, Louisiana. Under the proposed consent decree, the defendants have agreed to perform injunctive relief (including flare gas minimization, flaring efficiency measures, and fenceline monitoring) that is estimated to cost $110,500,000 million, and pay a $1 million civil penalty. The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on the proposed consent decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, and should refer
