Notice is hereby given that on
February 14, 2011, a proposed Consent
Decree in United States et al. v.
Ampersand Chowchilla Biomass, LLC,
Civil Action No. 1:11–cv–00242, was
lodged with the United States District
Court for the Eastern District of
California.
The Consent Decree in this Clean Air
Act enforcement action resolves
allegations by the Environmental
Protection Agency and the San Joaquin
Valley Unified Air Pollution Control
District (‘‘District’’), asserted in a
complaint filed together with the
Consent Decree, under Section 113(b) of
the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7413(b), for
alleged environmental violations at
defendant’s biomass electric generating
facility in Madera, California. The
violations include, among others, a
failure to: Comply with numerous
conditions contained in Federally
enforceable permits issued for the
facility, including those related to
emissions of pollutants; install and
operate required pollution control
technology; undertake periodic
equipment testing; and to submit
required reports. The proposed Consent
Decree would require defendant to
install additional emissions monitoring
equipment at their facility, pay a total of
$343,000 in civil penalties to the United
States and the District, and comply with
permit conditions or face stipulated
penalties during approximately two
years following court approval of the
consent decree.
The Department of Justice will receive
comments relating to the proposed
Consent Decree for a period of thirty
(30) days from the date of this
publication. Comments should be
addressed to the Assistant Attorney
General, Environment and Natural
Resources Division, and either e-mailed

premiere repeated cross sectional survey
of individual attendance and
involvement in arts and cultural
activity. The data are circulated to
interested researchers, and they are the
basis for a range of NEA reports and
independent research publications. The
SPPA provides primary knowledge on
the extent and nature of participation in
the arts in the United States. Earlier
SPPA surveys were conducted in 1982,
1985, 1992, 1997, 2002, and 2008, all of
which were conducted by the Census
Bureau except the 1997 study, which

The National Science
Foundation (NSF) is required to publish
notice of permit applications received to
conduct activities regulated under the
Antarctic Conservation Act of 1978.
NSF has published regulations under
the Antarctic Conservation Act at title
45 part 670 of the Code of Federal
Regulations. This is the required notice
of permit applications received.
Interested parties are invited to
submit written data, comments, or
views with respect to this permit
application by March 21, 2011. This
application may be inspected by
interested parties at the Permit Office,
address below.
DATES:
Comments should be
addressed to Permit Office, Room 755,

Science Foundation, 4201 Wilson
Boulevard, Arlington, Virginia 22230.
ADDRESSES:

Activity for Which Permit Is Requested
Take and Import into the USA. The
applicant plans to enter the Garwood
Valley to collect algal mats from
sediment outcrops where exposed, and
from the surface of ponds. The applicant
also plans to collect mummified
Crabeater seal skin samples in Garwood
Valley. Skin samples will be less than
20g each. The goal of the project is to
define the rate of geomorphic change in
Garwood Valley in response to changing
climate conditions. The geomorphic
record will be reconstructed over the
past 1- = 2-kyr to infer past climatedriven landscape alteration at the end of
the LGM and examine the current
episode of landscape changes, including
assessing the thermal equilibrium of
buried massive ice. The past and current
geomorphic changes will be used as a
guide for predicting landscape response
in the Dry Valleys should the >130 km2
of ice-cored terrain in the valleys also
begin to melt. Paired measurements of
14 C (from algal mats) and U/Th age
(from carbon layers bracketing the algal
mats), as well as 14 C ages with OSL ages
(for near-surface mats), these seal 14 C
dates will provide a correction factor for
dealing with carbon input of certain
provenance. The presence of multiple
mats/carbonate beds/seals in Garwood
Valley sediments will permit
characterization of ‘‘old’’ carbon input
over time into the sedimentary system.
Location
Garwood Valley, Dry Valleys.
Dates
January 1, 2011 to February 1, 2014.
