DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed
Consent Decree Under the Clean Air
Act
On October 27, 2020, the Department
of Justice lodged a proposed Consent
Decree with the United States District
Court for the Northern District of
Indiana in the lawsuit entitled United
States v. City of Gary, Indiana, Civil
Action No. 20–cv–386.
The Complaint seeks civil penalties
and injunctive relief for alleged
violations of the Clean Air Act (‘‘CAA’’)
relating to a closed landfill owned and
operated by the City of Gary, Indiana
(‘‘Gary’’ or ‘‘City’’). The Complaint
alleges that Gary: (1) Violated its permit
and the CAA by failing to install a
compliant gas collection and control
system; (2) failed to properly operate its
current system; (3) violated the landfill’s
surface methane standard; (4) failed to
monitor proper operation of its flares;
and (5) failed to demonstrate
compliance with its gas collection
wellhead standards. Under the proposed
Consent Decree, Gary would be required
to take a number of measures to come
into compliance with the CAA. The
proposed Consent Decree would require
Gary to undertake a suite of
improvements to Gary’s gas collection
and control system, including
replacement of the existing flare and
system upgrades to actively collect,
rather than passively vent, landfill gas.
