McWane, Inc., Civil Action No. cv-15-JHE-1504-S. In this action, the United States seeks civil penalties for violations of the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, Toxic Substances Control Act, and the reporting requirements of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act, together with their implementing regulations and permits, at two of McWane's facilities, one in Birmingham, Alabama and one in Phillipsburg, New Jersey. McWane is a national company that operates iron foundries, brass foundries, and various valve and tank manufacturing facilities. The Alabama Department of Environmental Management is a co-plaintiff in this action. Under the proposed Consent Decree, McWane will pay a total civil penalty of $471,031, of which $341,383 will go to the United States Treasury, $2,782 to the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund to resolve alleged violations relating to its spill prevention program, and $126,866 to the State of Alabama. McWane will also implement a Supplemental Environmental Project, at an estimated cost of $2,500,000. McWane has already undertaken corrective measures to resolve all historical violations alleged in the Complaint, at an estimated cost of over $10 million. The proposed Consent Decree resolves only the specific violations alleged in the Complaint. The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on the Consent Decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, and should refer to United States and the Alabama Department of Environmental Protection v. McWane, Inc., D.J. Ref. No. 90-5-1-1-08282/ 5. All comments must be submitted no later than thirty (30) days after the publication date of this notice.
