DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the Clean Air 
Act, CERCLA and EPCRA

    On January 29, 2018, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the Eastern 
District of California in the lawsuit entitled United States v. Gibson 
Wine Co., Civil Action No. 1:15-cv-01900-AWI-SKO.
    This case involves claims for alleged violations of Sections 
112(r)(1) and 112(r)(7) of the Clean Air Act (``CAA''), 42 U.S.C. 
7412(r)(1), (7), Section 103 of the Comprehensive Environmental 
Response, Compensation and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. 9603 (``CERCLA''), 
and Section 304 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know 
Act, 42 U.S.C. 11004 (``EPCRA''), with respect to Gibson's winemaking 
facility (``Facility'') located in Sanger, California. The complaint 
sought injunctive relief and civil penalties stemming from the 2012 
accidental release of anhydrous ammonia from the Facility's 
refrigeration system that resulted in the death of a worker. The 
settlement involves a civil penalty payment of $330,000, a 
reconfiguration of portions of the refrigeration process to reduce the 
risk of worker exposure in the event of an ammonia release, an upgrade 
to the refrigeration system from manual controls to a centralized 
computer control system programmed with automated warnings and shut-
downs in the event of a release, and other injunctive relief geared 
towards reducing the risk of further releases at the Facility.
    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
