of Colorado. The Complaint in this case was brought for violations of a
prior administrative settlement between the United States, Michael J.
Levine and MIBAR, Inc. which resolved claims for multiple violations of
the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (Act), 7 U.S.C.
136, et seq. The United States' Complaint in this action sought
recovery of the full amount of the civil penalty which was agreed to by
settling defendants in the administrative settlement between Michael J.
Levine, MIBAR, Inc. and the Environmental Protection Agency.
The proposed decree provides that defendants will pay $10,000 in
satisfaction of the violations addressed in the prior administrative
settlement. The decree also enjoins the settling defendants either
individually, or as a business enterprise or participant therein, from
any conduct or business regulated under the Act, the Toxic Substances
Control Act, 15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq., the Federal Water Pollution and
Control Act, 33 U.S.C. seq., the Federal Water Pollution and Control
Act, 33 U.S.C. 1251, et seq., the Public Health Service Act, 42 U.S.C.
300f et seq., the Solid Waste Disposal Act, 42 U.S.C. 6901 et seq., the
Clean Air Act, 42.U.S.C. 7401 et seq., and the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. 9601
et seq.
The Department of Justice will receive, for a period of thirty (30)
