DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
On March 28, 2013, the Department of
Justice lodged a proposed Consent
Decree (‘‘Decree’’) with the United
States District Court for the Eastern
District of Virginia in the lawsuit
entitled United States and
Commonwealth of Virginia v. Honeywell
Resins & Chemicals LLC, Civil Action
No. 3:13CV193.
In this action the United States and
the Commonwealth of Virginia filed a
complaint against Honeywell Resins &
Chemicals LLC (‘‘Honeywell’’ or
‘‘Defendant’’) seeking injunctive relief
and civil penalties under Section 113(b)
of the Clean Air Act (‘‘CAA’’ or ‘‘the
Act’’), 42 U.S.C. 7413(b) and Virginia
State Air Pollution Control Law,
Virginia Code § 10.1–1300 et seq., and
attendant regulations, for the
Defendant’s alleged violations at the
chemical manufacturing facility
operated by Honeywell (‘‘Honeywell
Plant’’ or ‘‘Facility’’) located in
Hopewell, Virginia. The Defendant
operated and/or continues to operate the
Facility in violation of various
provisions which include failing to meet
certain emission limits and operating
parameters and failing to comply with
certain requirements for testing,
monitoring, recordkeeping and
reporting. The Consent Decree requires
Honeywell to implement enhanced leak
detection and repair protocols, conduct
a third-party audit to address benzene
waste emissions, and install pollution
control equipment to control nitrogen
oxide emissions from the Facility. The
Decree also requires the Defendant to
pay the sum of $1.5 million dollars
cash, including interest, to the United
States as a civil penalty and $1.5 million
dollars cash, including interest, to the
Commonwealth as a civil penalty.

Notice of Lodging of Proposed
Consent Decree Under the Clean Air
Act
On April 1, 2013, the Department of
Justice lodged a proposed consent
decree with the United States District
Court for the Central District of Illinois
in the lawsuit entitled United States v.
Dominion Energy Inc., Dominion Energy
Brayton Point LLC, and Kincaid
Generation LLC, Civ. No. 13–cv–3086
(C.D. Ill.).
In this civil enforcement action under
the federal Clean Air Act, the United
States alleges that Defendants failed to
comply with certain requirements of the
Act intended to protect air quality. The
complaint seeks injunctive relief and

civil penalties for violations of the
Prevention of Significant Deterioration
(‘‘PSD’’) and Title V provisions of the
Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7470–92 and 42
U.S.C. 7661a–76661f, and related state
and federal implementing regulations.
The complaint alleges that Defendants
failed to obtain appropriate permits and
failed to install and operate required
pollution control devices to reduce
emissions of various air pollutants at the
Kincaid Power Station, a coal-fired
power plant in Kincaid, Illinois.
The proposed consent decree would
resolve past Clean Air Act violations
and would require Defendants to reduce
harmful emissions of sulfur dioxide
(‘‘SO2’’), nitrogen oxides (‘‘NOX’’), and
particular matter (‘‘PM’’) at the Kincaid
Power Station, as well as the Brayton
Point Power Station, a coal-fired power
plant located in Somerset,
Massachusetts. The reductions would be
achieved through emission control
requirements and limitations specified
by the proposed consent decree,
including installation and operation of
pollution controls and annual emission
caps. In addition, the proposed consent
makes permanent the retirement of the
State Line Power Station, a recently shut
down coal-fired power plant in
Hammond, Indiana. Defendants will
also spend $9.75 million to fund
environmental mitigation projects that
will further reduce emissions and
benefit communities adversely affected
by pollution from its plants, and pay a
civil penalty of $3.4 million. Defendants
recently announced their intention to
sell the Kincaid and Brayton Point
Power Stations to a subsidiary of Energy
Capital Partners, a subsidiary of which,
Equipower Resources, also owns and
operates several power plants in the
Northeast. The proposed consent decree
provides a process for any such new
owner to be substituted as a party to the
consent decree.
The publication of this notice opens
a period for public comment on the
proposed consent decree. Comments
should be addressed to the Assistant
Attorney General, Environment and
Natural Resources Division, and should
refer to United States v. Dominion
Energy Inc., Dominion Energy Brayton
Point LLC, and Kincaid Generation LLC,

In this civil enforcement action under the federal Clean Air Act,
