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

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.

the Consent Decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant
