DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the Clean Air
Act
On May 14, 2015, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed
Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the Central
District of Illinois in the lawsuit entitled United States v. Enviro-
Safe Refrigerants, Inc., Civil Action No. 1:15-cv-1196.
The United States of America, on behalf of the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (``EPA''), filed a claim against
Defendant Enviro-Safe Refrigerants, Inc. (``Enviro-Safe'') to obtain
injunctive relief and civil penalties pursuant to Clean Air Act
Sections 113 and 612, and the Significant New Alternatives Policy
program regulations promulgated at 40 CFR part 82, subpart G Sec. Sec.
82.170-82.184 (commonly known as the ``SNAP'' program). The United
States alleged that Enviro-Safe had marketed and sold flammable
hydrocarbon refrigerants as direct replacements for ozone-depleting
substances without providing the
[[Page 30094]]
requisite information to EPA regarding such products. In resolving the
United States' claims against Enviro-Safe, the proposed Decree requires
a payment of $300,000 in civil penalty and imposes various restrictions
on Enviro-Safe's future marketing activities to compel compliance with
both the specific language and underlying intent of the SNAP
regulations.
