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
