DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Judgment Under the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act and Clean Air Act
On December 11, 2012 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 v. KTN
Cleaners, Inc. d/b/a Enterprise Cleaners Inc., Civil Action No. 12-CV-
6064 (FB)(LB).
Defendant KTN Cleaners, Inc. (``KTN'') owns and operates a large
dry-cleaning facility in Long Island City, NY. The complaint seeks
civil penalties and injunctive relief for KTN's violations of (a)
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act regulations, (b) federally
enforceable New York State hazardous waste regulations, and (c) Clean
Air Act regulations applicable to dry cleaners. KTN violated these
regulations in connection with the management at its facility of waste
perchloroethylene, used fluorescent light bulbs, and the associated
recordkeeping requirements. The Consent Judgment provides for KTN to
implement injunctive relief, comprising continued compliance with the
applicable regulations, and the submission of regular reports to EPA to
document its compliance. The Consent Judgment also requires KTN to pay
a civil penalty of $5,000, which is based upon a financial analysis
indicating KTN's limited ability-to-pay.
The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on
the Consent Judgment. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant
Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, and
