Notice of Lodging of Proposed
Consent Judgment Under the Clean Air

On September 27, 2021, the
Department of Justice lodged a proposed
consent judgment with the United
States District Court for the Eastern
District of New York in the lawsuit
entitled United States of America v. The
City of New York et al., Case No. 21–
CV–5338.
The United States filed this lawsuit to
seek civil penalties and injunctive relief
for violations of the Clean Air Act, 42
U.S.C. 7401 et seq. (‘‘CAA’’). The
alleged violations concern the New York
City Department of Education’s
(‘‘NYCDOE’’) failure to comply with the
Area Source Boiler Rule 40 CFR 63 (the
‘‘Rule’’) at approximately 1329 boilers
located at 566 public school buildings
across New York City. The Complaint
alleges that NYCDOE failed to conduct
timely tune ups and energy assessments
under the Rule, and failed to provide
required notifications to the
Environmental Protection Agency
(‘‘EPA’’).
The Consent Judgment requires
NYCDOE to implement injunctive relief
that includes: Conducting and
documenting periodic tune-ups that will
identify boilers in need of repair;
implementing additional levels of
quality review for completed tune-up
reports; and providing periodic reports
to the United States concerning boilers
that are achieving less than 83%
combustion efficiency. Further, to
mitigate excess emissions caused by
NYCDOE’s non-compliance, the
proposed Consent Judgement requires
NYCDOE to convert to natural gas or
replace seven large boilers that use
number 4 oil prior to March 2023. The
Consent Judgment also requires
defendants to pay a civil penalty of
$1,000,000.
The publication of this notice opens
a period for public comment on the
proposed Consent Judgment. Comments
should be addressed to the Assistant
Attorney General, Environment and
Natural Resources Division, and should
refer to The City of New York, New York
City Department of Education, Civil
Action No. 21–CV–5338, D.J. Ref. No.
