On April 10, 2018, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed Second Amendment of Consent Decree (‘‘Second Amendment’’) with the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee in the lawsuit entitled United States et al. v. Cemex Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 3:16–cv–471. This case involves claims for alleged violations of the Prevention of Significant Deterioration program of the Clean Air Act (‘‘CAA’’), CAA’s Title V operating permit requirements, and related state law requirements at several Portland cement facilities. The original Consent Decree resolving the dispute included injunctive relief for installation of control technology to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOX), civil penalties, and mitigation of past excess NOX emissions. The proposed Second Amendment relates solely to requirements in the original Consent Decree applicable to two kilns at the Odessa, Texas facility. The amendment is necessitated by the technical impracticability of achieving the specified interim emission limit for NOX on Kiln 1. The proposed Second Amendment resolves this development by increasing the interim limit on Kiln 1 while accelerating the deadline for installing NOX control technology and achieving a NOX emission limit on Kiln 2.
