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
