DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Pursuant to the Resource 
Conservation and Recovery Act

    On January 2, 2015, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the Southern 
District of Georgia in the lawsuit entitled United States et al v. 
Renessenz, LLC, Civil Action No. 2:14-CV-185.
    The United States of America (``United States''), on behalf of the 
Administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency 
(``EPA''), and the State of Georgia on behalf of the Environmental 
Protection Division of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, 
(``State'') (collectively, ``Plaintiffs), filed a complaint against 
Renessenz, LLC (``Defendant'' or ``Renessenz'') pursuant to the Solid 
Waste Disposal Act (``SWDA''), as amended by the Resource Conservation 
and Recovery Act (``RCRA''), 42 U.S.C. 6901 et seq. for failure to make 
a hazardous waste determination on wastewater collected at Defendant's 
facility and for operating a treatment, storage, or disposal facility 
without a permit.
    Under the Consent Decree, the Defendant must permanently close 
various components of its wastewater treatment system in accordance 
with the Georgia Rules for Hazardous Waste Management, Chapter 391-3-
11-.10 (Subpart G of 40 CFR part 264 and 40 CFR 264.197 and/or 40 CFR 
264.228), as well as construct a new wastewater treatment system that 
is compliant with RCRA, the Georgia Hazardous Waste Management Act 
(``HWMA''), and those two statutes' implementing regulations. If the 
Defendant cannot demonstrate ``clean closure,'' or the removal of all 
wastes from the various components of the wastewater treatment system, 
the surrounding soils, and equipment, then the Defendant must apply for 
a permit to perform post-closure care, including corrective action, at 
the facility.
    The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on 
the Consent Decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant 
Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, and
