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
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
