DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Notice of Lodging of Settlement 

Pursuant to Clean Air Act 

Notice is hereby given that on 

September 17, 2008, a proposed Consent 

Decree in United States v. City of 

Winslow, Civil Action No. CV–07– 

8024–PCT–SMM, was lodged with the 

United States District Court for the 

District of Arizona. 

In this action, the United States, on 

behalf of the United States 

Environmental Protection Agency 

(‘‘EPA’’), sued the City of Winslow, 

Arizona, City Administrator, John 

Roche, and former Facility owner 

William Christie (collectively, 

‘‘Defendants’’) for violations of the 

Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq., 

and the National Emission Standard for 

Hazardous Air Pollutants for Asbestos, 

40 CFR Part 61, Subpart M. The 

proposed Consent Decree resolves 

claims against the Defendants for their 

failure to provide advanced notice to the 

EPA of the demolition of a ninebuilding apartment complex in Winslow 

(‘‘the Facility’’), and their failure to 

comply with applicable regulations 

during the demolition and subsequent 

removal of regulated asbestoscontaining materials from the Facility. 

The proposed Consent Decree 

requires payment of a $240,400 civil 

penalty, due jointly and severally from 

the three Defendants. No injunctive 

relief is required, as the Facility has 

been completely demolished and none 

of the Defendants are in the on-going 

business of demolition. 

The Department of Justice will receive 

for a period of thirty (30) days from the 

date of this publication comments 

relating to the Consent Decree. 

Comments should be addressed to the 

Assistant Attorney General, 

Environment and Natural Resources 

Division, and either e-mailed to
