DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the Clean Air
Act

On April 24, 2018, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed
consent decree with the United States District Court for the Western
District of Pennsylvania in the lawsuit entitled United States of
America, et al. v. MarkWest Liberty Midstream & Resources, LLC, et al.,
Civil Action No. 2:18-cv-00520-LPL.
The lawsuit seeks injunctive relief and civil penalties for
violations of the Clean Air Act and Pennsylvania's and Ohio's
federally-approved State Implementation Plans (``SIPs'') at Defendants'
MarkWest Liberty Midstream & Resources LLC and Ohio Gathering Company,
LLC compressor stations and stand-alone pigging facilities in western
Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio. The principal violations relate to
alleged failures to obtain required permits, including, in some cases,
Nonattainment New Source Review and Title V permits, to construct and
operate.
The proposed decree requires Defendants to perform injunctive
relief, pay a $610,000 civil penalty, and complete three Supplemental
Environmental Projects and a Pennsylvania-only Community Environmental
Project. Entering into and fully complying with the proposed consent
decree will resolve Defendants' past civil liability at all covered
facilities for various types of violations of the Clean Air Act and the
Pennsylvania and Ohio SIPs.
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
