Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Pursuant to the Clean Air Act

In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 C.F.R. Sec. 50.7, notice
is hereby given that a proposed consent decree in United States v. Dext
Company of Maryland, C.A. No. WN92-1884 (D.Md.) was lodged on November
23, 1994, with the United States District Court for the District of
Maryland. The consent decree addresses alleged violations of Section
113 of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. Sec. 9413, which occurred at the
Dext Company of Maryland (``Dext'') plant in Baltimore, Maryland.
Specifically, Dext allegedly violated the Maryland State Implementation
Plan (``SIP'') because it emitted particulate matter into the ambient
air and failed to reduce sufficiently emissions from its plant of
volatile organic compounds. In settlement of the alleged violations,
Dext has agreed to install a wet scrubbing system at the plant and to
pay a civil penalty of $100,000.

D.C. 20005, (202) 624-0892. A copy of the proposed consent decree may
