DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Lodging of Consent Decree Pursuant to the Clean Water Act

In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is
hereby given that a proposed consent decree in United States v. Beech
Aircraft Corporation, Civil Action No. 94-1121-FGT, was lodged on March
31, 1994 with the United States District Court for the District of
Kansas. The consent decree resolves claims against Beech Aircraft
Corporation arising out of Beech's failure to timely comply with
sections 301 and 307 of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1311 and 1317,
and the Categorical Pretreatment Standards for Electroplating and Metal
Finishing, 40 CFR parts 413 and 433.
In settlement of this matter, Beech has agreed to pay a civil
penalty of $521,000. In addition, Beech will perform a supplemental
environmental project which will reduce the total volume and toxicity
of sludge introduced into the pretreatment system. This project is
valued at over $250,000.
The Department of Justice will receive, for a period of thirty (30)
days from the date of this publication, comments relating to the
proposed consent decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant
Attorney General for the Environment and natural Resources Division,
Department of Justice, Washington, DC 20530, and should refer to United
States v. Beech Aircraft Corporation, DOJ Reference No. 90-5-1-1-3314.
The proposed consent decree may be examined at the office of the
United States Attorney, 401 N. Market Street, Wichita, Kansas 67202;
the Region VII Office of the Environmental Protection Agency, 726
Minnesota Avenue, Kansas City, Kansas 66101; and at the Consent Decree
Library, 1120 G Street, NW., 4th Floor, Washington, DC 20005, (202)
