Notice of Lodging of Proposed
Consent Decree Under the Clean Air
Act
On December 3, 2019, the Department
of Justice lodged a proposed Consent
Decree with the United States District
Court for the Eastern District of
Pennsylvania in the lawsuit entitled
United States, et al. v. Lehigh Cement
Company LLC and Lehigh White Cement
Company, LLC, Civil Action No. 5:19cv-05688.
In a Complaint that was filed
simultaneously with the Consent
Decree, the United States and seven
states and state or local agencies seek
injunctive relief against Lehigh Cement
Company LLC (‘‘Lehigh’’) and Lehigh
White Cement Company, LLC (‘‘Lehigh
White’’) and penalties against Lehigh,
pursuant to Sections 113(b) and 167 of
the Clean Air Act (‘‘the Act’’), 42 U.S.C.
7413(b) and 7477, for alleged violations
of the Prevention of Significant
Deterioration provisions of the Act, 42
U.S.C. 7470–7492; the nonattainment
New Source Review provisions of the
Act, 42 U.S.C. 7501–7515; the federallyapproved and enforceable state
implementation plans, which
incorporate and/or implement the above
listed requirements; and corresponding
state laws. The Complaint alleges claims
at one or more of eleven Portland
cement facilities located in eight states
owned or operated by Lehigh or Lehigh
White. The states and state or local
agencies that have joined the Complaint
and are signatories to the Consent
Decree consist of Indiana, Iowa,
Maryland, New York, the Pennsylvania
Department of Environmental
Protection, the Jefferson County Board
of Health (Alabama), and the Bay Area
Air Quality Management District
(California).

and sulfur dioxide (SO2), emissions

monitoring systems, and set specified
NOx and SO2 emission limits (except
that the emission limit for SO2 at the
Cupertino, CA facility would be
established through a testing program).
The Decree would also require Lehigh to
pay a civil penalty of $1.3 million, and
perform a mitigation project involving
upgrading two off-road vehicle engines
at an estimated cost of $650,000, which
is expected to reduce smog-forming
NOX by approximately 25 tons per year.
