BILLING CODE 4410-15-M DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and Under the Clean Air Act In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby given that on January 8, 2000, a proposed consent decree in *United States* v. *Rhode Island Technical Plating, Inc.* , Civil Action No. 01-007L was lodged with the United States District Court for the District of Rhode Island. In this action the United States sought injunctive relief and assessment of civil penalties in connection with the electroplating and metal finishing facility owned by Rhode Island Technical Plating (“RITP”), in Cranston, Rhode Island.
The Complaint alleges that the defendant is liable under sections 3008(a) and 3008(g) of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”) and under Section 113(b) of the Clean Air Act. Pursuant to the decree, defendant will perform a RCRA facility investigation and take appropriate steps to bring its facility into compliance with applicable law. Defendant will also pay to the United States, a civil penalty of $20,000. This settlement is based, in part, on the Defendant's limited financial ability to pay.
