Notice of Lodging of Proposed
Consent Decree Under the Clean Air
Act
On October 31, 2017, the Department
of Justice lodged a proposed consent
decree with the United States District
Court for the District of Colorado in the
lawsuit entitled United States of
America and the State of Colorado v.
PDC Energy, Inc., Civil Action No. 1:17–
cv–01552–MSK–MJW.

Pollution Prevention and Control Act
(‘‘Colorado Act’’), Colorado’s federally
approved State Implementation Plan
(‘‘Colorado SIP’’), and Colorado Air
Quality Control Commission Regulation
Number 7 (‘‘Regulation No. 7’’) at tank
batteries (referred to in the consent
decree as ‘‘Tank Systems’’) owned and
operated by PDC Energy, Inc. (‘‘PDC’’) in
a portion of the Denver-Julesburg Basin
in Colorado (known as the ‘‘8-hour
Ozone Control Area’’) designated as
non-attainment with the National
Ambient Air Quality Standards for
ground-level ozone. The violations
relate to alleged failures to adequately
design, operate, and maintain vapor
control systems at the Tank Systems,
resulting in emissions of volatile organic
compounds (‘‘VOC’’) and other
pollutants to the atmosphere.
The proposed consent decree covers
PDC’s Tank Systems in the 8-hour
Ozone Control Area equipped with
vapor control systems pursuant to
Regulation No. 7 to achieve required
system-wide emission reductions (more
than 600 Tank Systems). The proposed
decree requires PDC to perform
injunctive relief, including conducting
engineering evaluations of the vapor
control systems at each of the Tank
Systems and completing any necessary
corrective actions to ensure that the
vapor control systems are adequately
designed and sized. PDC must also
complete two environmental mitigation
projects at a cost of $1.7 million and pay
a $2.5 million civil penalty, $1 million
of which is anticipated to be used to
perform one or more State-Only
Supplemental Environmental Projects.
Entering into and fully complying with
the proposed consent decree will release
PDC from past civil liability at the Tank
Systems and associated vapor control
systems for violations of the Colorado
SIP and Regulation No. 7 relating to
VOC emissions from condensate storage
tanks.
The publication of this notice opens
a period for public comment on the
consent decree. Comments should be
addressed to the Assistant Attorney
General, Environment and Natural
Resources Division, and should refer to
United States, et al. v. PDC Energy, Inc.,
D.J. Ref. No. 90–5–2–1–11467. All
comments must be submitted no later

National Science Foundation.
Notice of availability and notice
of public meeting.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The National Science
Foundation (NSF) has made available
for public review and comment the
Draft Environmental Impact Statement
(DEIS) for Green Bank Observatory. This
DEIS has been prepared for the National
Science Foundation (NSF) to evaluate
the potential environmental impacts
resulting from proposed operational
changes due to funding constraints for
the Green Bank Observatory in Green
Bank, West Virginia. The DEIS was
prepared in compliance with the
National Environmental Policy Act of
1969. Consultation under Section 106 of
the National Historic Preservation Act
(NHPA) is being conducted concurrent
with the NEPA process.
DATES: NSF will accept comments on
the DEIS for 60 days following
publication of this Notice of
Availability; an additional 15 days are
being provided beyond the standard 45day review period to allow for the

holidays). Comments may be submitted
verbally during the public meeting
scheduled for November 30, 2017 (see
details in SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION)
or in writing until January 8th, 2018.
Substantive comments will be
addressed in a Final Environmental
Impact Statement (FEIS).
ADDRESSES: You may submit written
comments by either of the following
methods:
• Email to: envcomp-ASTgreenbank@nsf.gov, with subject line
‘‘Green Bank Observatory’’.

of the DEIS will be available for review
at the following libraries: Green Bank
Public Library, 5683 Potomac Highlands
Trail, Green Bank, WV 24944, Durbin
Community Library, 4361 Staunton
Parkersburg Turnpike, Durbin, WV

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Green
Bank Observatory (GBO) is located in
Pocahontas County, West Virginia,
adjacent to the Monongahela National
Forest. NSF owns the GBO land, which
consists of numerous parcels acquired
by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in
the 1950s, when GBO was formed as the
first (and then, only) site of the National
Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO).
The GBO facilities include the Robert C.
Byrd Green Bank Telescope, the largest
fully steerable radio telescope in the
world; the 43-meter Telescope; the
Green Bank Solar Radio Burst
Spectrometer; the 20-meter Geodetic
Telescope; the 40-foot Telescope; the
Interferometer Range; and previously
operational telescopes.
The NSF Directorate for Mathematical
and Physical Sciences, Division of
Astronomical Sciences (AST), through a
series of academic community-based
reviews, has identified the need to
divest several facilities from its
portfolio. This would allow NSF to
retain the balance of capabilities needed
to deliver the best performance on
emerging and key science technology of
the present decade and beyond. In 2012,
