sodium nitrite from India. These
supplemental final comments may not

The supplemental staff report in the
final phase of the current investigations
will be placed in the nonpublic record

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed Second
Amendment to Consent Decree Under
the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act
On January 11, 2022, the Department
of Justice lodged a proposed second
amendment to a consent decree with the
United States District Court for the
Southern District of Texas in the lawsuit
entitled United States v. Formosa
Plastics Corporation, Texas, et al., Civil
Action No. 09–00061.
Under the original 2010 consent
decree, Formosa Plastics Corporation,
Texas, Formosa Hydrocarbons, Inc.
(now Formosa Hydrocarbons Company,
Inc.) (collectively ‘‘FPC TX’’), and
Formosa Plastics Corporation, Louisiana
(collectively ‘‘Defendants’’) agreed to
undertake numerous measures to come
into compliance with various
environmental statutes and regulations
at their facilities in Point Comfort,
Texas, and Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The
Defendants still are in the process of
complying with the 2010 Decree and the
2013 First Amendment to the Consent
Decree. Under the 2010 consent decree,
Defendant FPC TX is required to
manage and dispose of its wastewater
treatment system sludge as a listed
hazardous waste under the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act, 42
U.S.C. 6901 et seq. (‘‘RCRA’’), because
the company treats a RCRA listed
hazardous waste (recovered
groundwater from its contaminated
groundwater treatment system) in its
wastewater system. Under the proposed
Second Amendment, FPC TX will cease
treating the recovered groundwater
onsite, and instead send the recovered
wastewater offsite to a RCRA permitted
hazardous waste treatment, storage, and
disposal facility. Accordingly, the RCRA
hazardous waste listing will no longer
carry through to the wastewater sludge.

wastewater treatment system to
eliminate hazardous waste residue.
