DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed Second
Stipulation and Final Order Under the
Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act
On February 13. 2024, the Department
of Justice lodged a proposed Second
Stipulation and Final Order (SSFO)
with the United States District Court for
the District of Puerto Rico in the lawsuit
entitled United States v. Municipality of
Toa Alta, Puerto Rico, Civil Action No.
3:21–01087.
The proposed SSFO resolves two
issues that the ‘‘Stipulation and
Preliminary Injunction Order’’ (SPIO)
entered in this matter in August 2022
(Dkt. No. 127–1) did not address: the
claim that failure to remove leachate
from the Southeast Cell of the
Municipality of Toa Alta’s (MTA’s)
landfill constitutes an imminent and
substantial endangerment under Section
7003(a) of the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act (‘‘RCRA’’), 42 U.S.C.
6973(a), and the claim for civil penalties
Section 7003(b) of RCRA, 42 U.S.C.
6973(b). The SSFO requires Toa Alta to
remove and dispose of, under Puerto
Rico’s Department of Natural and
Environmental Resources (DNER)
oversight, leachate that is pooling on the
bottom liner of the landfill’s Southeast
Cell and to pay a $50,000 civil penalty.
The SSFO also converts the SPIO into
a permanent injunction order.
The publication of this notice opens
a period for public comment on the
SSFO. Comments should be addressed
to the Assistant Attorney General,
Environment and Natural Resources
Division, and should refer to United
States v. Municipality of Toa Alta, D.J.
Ref. No. 90–7–1–12090. All comments
must be submitted no later than thirty
