DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed
Modification to Consent Decree Under
the Clean Air Act
asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
On July 22, 2015, the Department of
Justice lodged a proposed modification
to a Consent Decree with the United
States District Court for the Eastern
District of California in the lawsuit
entitled United States v. CalPortland
Company, Civil Action No. 1:11–cv–
02064–AWI–JLT. The Consent Decree
was entered in February 2012.
The original Consent Decree resolves
alleged Clean Air Act New Source
Review violations at a cement plant
owned and operated by CalPortland
Company (‘‘CalPortland’’) and located
in Mojave, Kern County, California. The
Consent Decree requires CalPortland to
propose for EPA approval final emission
limits for carbon monoxide, nitrogen
oxides, and sulfur dioxide that are
achievable based on the plant’s
operation with newly-installed control
technology. Under the original Consent
Decree, the final emission limit for SO2
cannot exceed 1.7 pounds of SO2 per
ton of clinker on a 30-Day Rolling
Average. The proposed modification
would lengthen the averaging period for
the maximum SO2 emission rate from 30
days to 90 days. The need for a 90-day
averaging period is related to variability
in the sulfur content of the limestone in
CalPortland’s quarry and is based on
data collected by CalPortland and
reviewed by EPA to determine an
achievable emission rate. The proposed
modification also adjusts the calculation
method for stipulated penalties related
to emission violations in order to reflect
the modified averaging period.
The publication of this notice opens
a period for public comment on the
proposed modifications to the Consent
Decree. Comments should be addressed
to the Assistant Attorney General,
Environment and Natural Resources
Division, and should refer to United
States v. CalPortland Company, D.J. Ref.
No. 90–5–2–1–08306/2. All comments
must be submitted no later than thirty
(30) days after the publication date of
this notice. Comments may be
submitted either by email or by mail:
