DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the Clean Air
Act
On March 19, 2018, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed
Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the Northern
District of Ohio in the lawsuit entitled United States v. Martin
Marietta Magnesia Specialties LLC, Civil Action No. 3:18-cv-00633.
The proposed Consent Decree resolves claims under Clean Air Act
(``CAA'') Sections 113(b) and 167, 42 U.S.C. 7413(b) and 7477, against
Martin Marietta Magnesia Specialties LLC (``MMMS''), the owner and
operator of a lime manufacturing plant located in Woodville, Sandusky
County, Ohio. The Complaint asserts claims pursuant to the CAA for
violations of the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (``PSD'')
provisions of the CAA, 42 U.S.C. 7470-92, Title V of the Act, 42 U.S.C.
7661 et seq., and the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (``NESHAP'') provisions of the CAA, 42 U.S.C. 7412, and the
NESHAP regulations governing lime manufacturing plants, 40 CFR part 63,
subparts A and AAAAA (``Lime MACT'').
Under the proposed Consent Decree, and at an estimated cost of
approximately $20 million, MMMS will address sulfur dioxide
(``SO2'') and nitrogen oxide (``NOX'') emissions
from the Woodville Facility through the addition of preheaters to Lime
Kilns #1 and #2 and address particulate matter (``PM'') emissions by
routing emissions from Kiln #1 through a baghouse. Kilns #1 and #2 will
also be required to meet specified SO2 and NOX
emissions limits. Additionally, under the proposed Consent Decree, MMMS
will pay an $800,000 civil penalty and perform a vehicle replacement
supplemental environmental project valued at $375,000.

the Consent Decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant
Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, and
