DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the Resource 
Conservation and Recovery Act

    On January 12, 2017, the Department of Justice and the State of 
Louisiana on behalf of the Louisiana Department of Environmental 
Quality (``LDEQ'') filed a Complaint and lodged a proposed Consent 
Decree with the United States District Court for the Middle District of 
Louisiana in the matter of United States of America and Louisiana 
Department of Environmental Quality vs. Innophos, Inc., Civil Action 
No. 17-26-SDD-RLB (M.D. La.).
    In the Complaint filed in this action, the United States and LDEQ 
sought injunctive relief and civil penalties against Innophos, Inc. 
(``Innophos'') for violations of the Resource Conservation and Recovery 
Act (``RCRA''), 42 U.S.C. 6901-6992k, at Innophos's purified phosphoric 
acid manufacturing facility near Geismar, Louisiana. The Complaint 
alleged that Innophos routinely generated two hazardous wastes, 
Raffinate and RP Pondwater, and sent them to an adjacent facility for 
disposal; the receiving facility was not authorized to dispose of 
hazardous waste. LDEQ is a co-plaintiff and has brought its own claims 
under state law.
    The proposed Consent Decree memorializes that Innophos has already 
corrected the violations related to RP Pondwater. Innophos also agrees 
in the Consent Decree to handle Raffinate appropriately, either by 
disposing of it in a permitted hazardous waste Underground Injection 
Control well system, by treating it on-site, or by shipping it to a 
permitted hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal

[[Page 7860]]

facility. The Consent Decree also provides that Innophos will pay a 
$1,398,000 civil penalty, half of which will be payable to the United 
States and half to LDEQ.
    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 of America and Louisiana Department of 
Environmental Quality vs. Innophos, Inc.., D.J. Ref. No. 90-7-1-08688. 
All comments must be submitted no later than forty-five (45) days after
