DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Proposed Stipulation Under the Clean Air 
Act, the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986, 
and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and 
Liability Act

    On October 23, 2018, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
Stipulation (``Stipulation'') with the United States District Court for 
the District of Massachusetts in the lawsuit entitled United States v. 
Stavis Seafoods, Inc., Civil Action No. 1:18-cv-12199. In the 
Complaint, the United States, on behalf of the U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency (``EPA''), alleges that Stavis Seafoods, Inc. 
(``Stavis'') violated the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7412(r)(1), for a 
release of anhydrous ammonia and associated violation of the 
requirements under the Clean Air Act's General Duty Clause, such as a 
failure to conduct a process hazard analysis, failure to maintain the 
facility in the adequate manner, and failure to minimize the 
consequences of a release. The Complaint also contains allegations 
under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986, 
42 U.S.C. 11022, and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, 
Compensation and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. 9603(a) for Stavis' failure 
to properly report its inventory of hazardous substances and for 
failing to comply with emergency notification requirements. The 
proposed Stipulation in this case requires Stavis to pay a civil 
penalty of $700,000.
    The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on 
the proposed Stipulation. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant 
Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, and 
should refer to United States v. Stavis Seafoods, Inc., D.J. Ref. No. 
90-5-2-1-11574. All comments must be submitted no later than thirty 
(30) days after the publication date of this notice. Comments may be 
submitted either by email or by mail:
