DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed
Consent Decree Under the Clean Air
Act
On December 10, 2024, the
Department of Justice lodged a proposed
Consent Decree with the United States
District Court for the Western District of
Pennsylvania in the lawsuit entitled
United States and Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania v. PennEnergy Resources,
LLC, Civil Action No. 2:24–cv–01675.
The lawsuit seeks injunctive relief
and civil penalties for violations of the
Clean Air Act and its implementing
regulations at oil and natural gas
production facilities owned and
operated by PennEnergy Resources, LLC
(‘‘PennEnergy’’) in Butler County,
Pennsylvania. The violations relate to
alleged failures to adequately design,
operate, and maintain storage tank
vapor control systems, resulting in
emissions of volatile organic
compounds (‘‘VOC’’) and other
pollutants to the atmosphere.
The proposed Consent Decree covers
49 PennEnergy facilities in
Pennsylvania. The proposed decree
requires PennEnergy to perform
injunctive relief, including conducting
engineering evaluations of the vapor
control systems at each of the controlled
well pads to ensure that they are
adequately sized and designed, and
complete an environmental mitigation
project. PennEnergy must also pay a
civil penalty of $2,000,000. Entering
into and fully complying with the
proposed Consent Decree would release
PennEnergy from past civil liability for
violations of Clean Air Act Title V and
Clean Air Act regulations applicable to
new and modified storage vessels and
related state law at the facilities subject
to the proposed consent decree.
The publication of this notice opens
a period for public comment on the
proposed Consent Decree. Comments
should be addressed to the Assistant
Attorney General, Environment and
Natural Resources Division, and should
refer to United States and

or territories, in which the United States
Department of Agriculture’s (USDA)
Farm Labor Report (better known as the

announces an update to the average
AEWR, which is used to calculate
adjustments to required bond amounts
for H–2A Labor Contractors.
