Notice of Lodging of Proposed
Consent Decree Under the Clean Air
Act
On January 17, 2013, the Department
of Justice lodged a proposed Consent
Decree with the United States District
Court for the District of Utah in the
lawsuit captioned United States v. Edge
Products, L.L.C., Civil Action No. 1:13–
cv–00010TS .
Edge Products, L.L.C. is an
aftermarket motor vehicle parts
manufacturer located in Ogden, Utah. In
the Complaint, filed on January 17,
2013, on behalf of the Environmental
Protection Agency (‘‘EPA’’), the United
States alleges that Edge violated the
Clean Air Act by manufacturing and
selling aftermarket motor vehicle
devices that were designed to hinder or
disable required emission controls on
certain model year 2007 and later heavy
duty diesel trucks. The manufacture and
sale of such devices for use on motor
vehicles is prohibited by Section
203(a)(3)(B) of the Clean Air Act, 42
U.S.C. 7522(a)(3)(B).
The proposed Consent Decree, lodged
on January 17, 2013, resolves the
allegations in the Complaint. The terms
of the Consent Decree include a
prohibition on the manufacture and sale
of specified devices; a recall and
reimbursement program intended to get
the devices off of vehicles and to keep
them out of the stream of commerce; a
wood-stove replacement project
designed to mitigate the harm from the
estimated 158 tons of excess particulate
emissions EPA attributed to the use of
the devices; and a civil penalty of
$500,000. The amount of the civil
penalty is based on the United States’
evaluation of Edge’s ability to pay a
penalty.
