Detroit Diesel Corporation, Civil Action No. 1:16–cv–01982. The government’s complaint alleges that Detroit Diesel violated the Clean Air Act by introducing into commerce 7,786 heavy-duty diesel engines for use in trucks and buses in model year 2010 without a valid EPA-issued certificate of conformity demonstrating conformance with Clean Air Act standards to control nitrogen oxide (NOX) emissions. The complaint also alleges that the engines did not conform to emission standards applicable to model year 2010 engines. The Consent Decree requires Detroit Diesel to spend $14.5 million on mitigation projects to reduce NOX emissions and other pollutants, including replacing high-polluting diesel school buses and locomotive engines with models that meet current emissions standards. Detroit Diesel will also pay a civil penalty of $14 million. The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on the Consent Decree.
