DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the Clean Air
Act
On July 18, 2013 the Department of Justice filed a Complaint and
simultaneously lodged a proposed Consent Decree (``Decree'') with the
United States District Court for the District of Colorado in the
lawsuit entitled United States v. Williams Four Corners LLC, Civil
Action No. 13-cv-1923. In its Complaint the United States seeks civil
penalties and injunctive relief against Williams Four Corners, LLC
(``Williams'') for violations of the permit issued pursuant to Part C
of Subchapter I of the CAA, 42 U.S.C. 7475 (Prevention of Significant
Deterioration or ``PSD'') and the regulations promulgated thereunder at
40 CFR 52.21, and the federal operating permit program set forth at
Title V of the CAA, 42 U.S.C. 7661-7661f (``Title V'') and the
regulations promulgated thereunder at 40 CFR part 71, at a facility
known as PLA-9 Central Deliver Point, also known as PLA-9 CDP (the
``PLA-9 Facility''). The PLA-9 Facility is located approximately 18
miles southwest of Durango, Colorado, and within the exterior
boundaries of the Southern Ute Indian Reservation. The PLA-9 Facility
is now shut down. The Decree requires Williams pay a $63,000 civil
penalty to settle the alleged violations. Should Williams restart any
operations at PLA-9 within the next two years, the Decree requires
Williams comply with the requirements of the PSD Permit applicable to
any emitting units that may be restarted or replaced.
