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. 5:19–
cv–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).
The Consent Decree would require
installation of emissions control
technology for nitrogen oxides (NOX)
and sulfur dioxide (SO2), emissions
monitoring systems, and 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.

Consent Decree was originally
