Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act

    The United States Department of Justice gives notice that on 
October 26, 2006, a proposed consent decree was lodged in United States

L.L.C., Bunge North America (OPD West), Inc., and Bunge Milling, Inc. 
under Section 113 of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7413. The United 
States' complaint alleges that at some or all of the twelve plants 
subject to the proposed consent decree, one of the Defendants violated 
Clean Air Act requirements related to: Part C of Title I, 42 U.S.C. 
7470-7492, Prevention of Significant Deterioration; Title V, 42 U.S.C. 
7661-7661f, Permits; certain New Source Performance Standards, 42 
U.S.C. 7411, 40 CFR Part 60; the state implementation plans (``SIPs'') 
for the eight states in which the plants are located; and SIP 
permitting programs for construction and operation of new and modified 
stationary sources of air pollution.

are located in: Danville, Illinois; Cairo, Illinois; Morristown, 
Indiana; Decatur, Indiana; Delphos, Ohio; Marion, Ohio; Council Bluffs, 
Iowa; Emporia, Kansas; Destrehan, Louisiana; Marks, Mississippi; and 
Decatur, Alabama. The corn dry mill is located in Danville, Illinois. 
All eight states where the plants are located have filed motions to 
intervene as plaintiffs in the case and are participating in the 
settlement.
    The proposed consent decree would require Defendants to reduce 
emissions of volatile organic compounds from the plants by complying 
with interim limits, and setting and complying with final limits, on 
each plant's solvent loss ratio (SLR). Under the terms of the consent 
decree, the final solvent loss ratio for each of the eleven soybean 
plants may not exceed 0.2 gallon of solvent lost per ton of oilseeds 
processed (gal/ton) or the plant's existing permit limit, whichever is 
lower, and the final capacity-weighted average SLR for the eleven 
soybean plants may not exceed 0.175 gal/ton. The consent decree would 
limit the SLR ratio for the corn dry mill plant to a maximum of 0.70 
gal/ton based on content of hazardous air pollutants.
    The consent decree would also require Defendants to undertake 
specified additional pollution control projects at various plants, to 
reduce emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate 
matter. Defendants would also be required to pay a civil penalty of 
$625,000, which would be divided among the federal government and the 
eight states, and to spend at least $1.25 million performing state
