DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the Clean Air
Act
On May 12, 2015, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed
consent decree with the United States District Court for the District
of Hawaii in the lawsuit entitled United States v. City and County of
Honolulu, Civil Action No. CV 15-00173 BMK.
In this action, the United States filed a complaint under the Clean
Air Act alleging violations at the Kapa'a and Kalaheo Sanitary Landfill
(``Landfill'') located on the island of Oahu in Hawaii. The United
States' complaint alleges violations for the City and County of
Honolulu's (``CCH'') failure to timely submit a design plan for a gas
collection and control system (``GCCS'') and failure to timely install
and operate a GCCS. The consent decree requires CCH to pay a civil
penalty in the amount of $875,000 and to implement a Supplemental
Environmental Project comprised of the installation and operation of a
photovoltaic system at its waste-to-energy facility located on Hanua
Street, Kapolei, Hawaii. The consent decree states that, during the
period of the negotiations of this consent decree, CCH submitted a GCCS
design plan approved by EPA for the Landfill, installed and commenced
operation of the GCCS, developed a startup, shutdown and malfunction
plan, and submitted a complete application for a Title V covered source
permit.
