[FR Doc. 2010–17601 Filed 7–19–10; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4410–15–P DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Pursuant to the Clean Air Act Notice is hereby given that on July 14, 2010, a proposed Consent Decree in PO 00000 Frm 00065 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 42131 United States v. City of Tacoma, Civ. A. No. 3:10–cv–05497, was lodged with the United States Court for the Western District of Washington in Tacoma. In this action, the United States sought penalties pursuant to Section 608(c) of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7671g, against the City of Tacoma’s Public Works Department. The Complaint alleges that Defendant failed to comply with regulations issued pursuant to Section 608(c) of the CAA— 40 CFR Part 82, Subpart F—that makes the knowing venting or release of Class I or II refrigerants into the environment during the disposal of a refrigerantcontaining appliance unlawful. The Complaint alleges the City of Tacoma, through its Solid Waste Management Division that is internal to the Public Works Department, illegally released regulated refrigerant into the environment for almost three years dating from October 2004 to August 2007 at its municipal landfill. Pursuant to the proposed Consent Decree, Defendant will pay to the United States a civil penalty of $224,684 and perform a Supplemental Environmental Project that will cost approximately $269,783. The SEP consists of the City purchasing a hydraulic launch assist refuse collection vehicle, purchasing a pluggable hybrid electric terminal truck to replace one of the City’s diesel yard tractors, and retrofitting 10 of its municipal diesel vehicles with diesel particulate filters. The hydraulic launch assist refuse collection vehicle is designed to be more efficient by using energy created during braking as well as increase fuel economy and reduce particulate emissions typically emitted from traditional refuse collection vehicles. The pluggable hybrid electric terminal truck is designed to decrease diesel fuel use and reduce emissions as well as increase the City’s fuel economy. The diesel particulate filters are aimed to reduce particulate matter emissions as well as carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons emissions. Overall, these projects are intended to help improve air quality in and around the City’s municipal landfill by reducing smogforming chemicals such as ground level ozone, particulates, and nitrous oxides (as well as carbon dioxide). 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 pubcomment-ees.enrd@usdoj.gov or mailed to P.O. Box 7611, U.S. E:\FR\FM\20JYN1.SGM 20JYN1
