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

    On November 1, 2019, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the Northern 
District of Ohio in the lawsuit entitled United States, et al. v. MPLX, 
LP, et al., Civil Action No. 3:18-cv-02526.
    The United States filed this lawsuit against MPLX and eleven of its 
subsidiaries for violations of the Clean Air Act at twenty natural gas 
processing facilities in six states. The complaint alleges, among other 
things, that MPLX violated Leak Detection and Repair requirements of 
the Clean Air Act's New Source Performance Standards. The proposed 
Consent Decree requires MPLX and its subsidiaries to take specified 
actions to come into compliance with the Clean Air Act, pay a civil 
penalty of $925,000, and undertake Supplemental Environmental Projects 
at a cost of $2,575,000. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the 
States of West Virginia and Oklahoma have joined us in this action.
    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, et al. v. MPLX, LP, et al., D.J. Ref.
