Bayer CropScience LP, Civil Action No. 2:15-cv-13331. The United States filed this lawsuit under the Clean Air Act. The United States' complaint alleges that Bayer CropScience violated section 112(r) of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7412(r), which addresses the prevention of accidental releases. The claims arise out of a 2008 explosion at the Methomyl production unit at Bayer CropScience's plant in Institute, West Virginia. The consent decree requires the defendant, Bayer CropScience LP, to pay a civil penalty of $975,000, to perform injunctive relief to reduce the likelihood of future accidents at the Institute Plant and several other chemical processing [[Page 57874]] plants, and to perform supplemental environmental projects valued collectively at $4.23 million. 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 v. Bayer CropScience LP, D.J. Ref. No. 90-5-2-1-10802. All comments must be submitted no later than thirty (30) days after the publication date of this notice.
