DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Under The Clean Air Act

    Notice is hereby given that on August 12, 2010, a proposed Consent 
Decree in United States v. RP Baking, LLC. Civil Action No. 2:10-cv-
04139-SDW-MCA, was filed with the United States District Court for the 
District of New Jersey. In this action, the United States sought 
penalties and injunctive relief for the Defendant's violations of the 
Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7413(b), and for violations of the federally 
enforceable New Jersey State Implementation Plan, at a facility in 
Harrison, Hudson County, New Jersey.
    To resolve the United States' claims, the Defendant will pay a 
penalty of $210,000 to the United States and the State of New Jersey, 
and propose physical changes and/or upgrades to the oxidizer, a 
pollution control device, to come into compliance with the New Jersey 
State Implementation Plan's emission limits for volatile organic 
compounds. If the performance test performed after physical changes/
upgrades demonstrates non-compliance, the Consent Decree requires the 
Defendant to pay an additional $50,000 civil penalty and to propose 
further upgrades/changes to the oxidizer or possibly request an 
alternate emission limit from both EPA and the NJDEP.
    The Department of Justice will receive for a period of thirty (30) 
days from the date of this publication comments relating to the Consent 
Decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant Attorney General,
