consent decree with the United States District Court for the Eastern

    The United States filed this lawsuit against the Maynard Steel 
Casting Company (``Defendant'') under the Clean Air Act and the 
Resource Conversation and Recovery Act. The complaint seeks injunctive

(``CAA''), 42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq., the Resource Conservation and 
Recovery Act (``RCRA''), 42 U.S.C. 6901 et seq., and their implementing

emissions capture and control effectiveness of each of its air 
pollution control systems; (2) conduct performance stack tests; (3) 
conduct monitoring of visible emissions; (4) install and operate 
various monitors to alert operators of malfunctions with the air 
pollution control systems; (5) perform air dispersion modeling; (6) 
continue implementing and complying with RCRA requirements for the 
storage, handling, and transport, and disposal of its hazardous waste;
