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

In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 C.F.R. 50.7, and Section
113(g) of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7413(g), notice is hereby given
that on February 3, 1997, a proposed Consent Decree in United States v.
Aluminum Finishing Corporation, Civil Case No. IP95-1703-CD-M/S, was
lodged with the United States District Court for the Southern District
of Indiana, Indianapolis Division. This consent decree represents a
settlement of claims against Aluminum Finishing Corporation (``AFC'')
for violations of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7413(b), and its
implementing regulations, the Indiana State Implementation Plan
(``SIP''). The complaint seeks injunctive relief and civil penalties
for the AFC's operation of a metal parts and products coating operation
in Indianapolis, Indiana, at which it caused, allowed or permitted the
continued discharge of volatile organic compounds in excess of the
emission limitations set forth in the Indiana SIP, in continued
violation of the Clean Air Act and the Indiana SIP.
Under this settlement, AFC will pay the United States a civil
penalty of

$50,000. In addition, the Consent Decree requires AFC to comply with
the Clean Air Act and, in particular, to install and operate a thermal
oxidizer to eliminate AFC's discharges of excess volatile organic
compounds. The consent decree also requires monitoring, reporting and
recordkeeping to ensure AFC will continue to comply and allow EPA to
monitor AFC's compliance.

days from the date of this publication comments relating to the
proposed Consent Decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant
Attorney General of the Environment and Natural Resources Division,
