DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed Stipulation Modifying Consent
Decree Under the Clean Air Act
On May 1, 2014, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed
stipulation modifying the consent decree (``Stipulation'') entered in
the lawsuit entitled United States and the Oklahoma Department of
Environmental Quality v. Owens-Brockway Glass Container Inc. (Civil No.
3:12-cv-02961), filed in the United States District Court for the
Northern District of Ohio.
The United States and Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality
(``ODEQ'') filed this lawsuit in 2012 under the Clean Air Act. The
consent decree entered in this matter requires that the defendant,
Owens-Brockway Glass Container Inc. (``Owens-Brockway''), perform
injunctive relief, pay a civil penalty, and perform a mitigation
project in order to resolve claims that the defendant violated the
Clean Air Act's Prevention of Significant Deterioration and Non-
Attainment New Source Review requirements at five of its glass
manufacturing plants in the United States.
The Stipulation permits Owens-Brockway to seek approval to install
and operate an alternative to the nitrogen oxide (NOX)
emission control technology that is currently required by the consent
decree at Owens-Brockway's glass bottle manufacturing plant in
Muskogee, Oklahoma. Two types of alternative NOX control
technologies, ``oxyfuel'' and selective catalytic reduction, are
permitted to be installed and operated at the Muskogee, Oklahoma
facility upon written notice to the United States Environmental
Protection Agency and ODEQ.
Publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on the
proposed Stipulation. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant
Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, and
