DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the Clean Air
Act
On July 13, 2023, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed
consent decree with the United States District Court for the Northern
District of New York in United States v. Upstate Shredding, LLC, and
Weitsman Shredding, LLC, 3:23-cv-847 (N.D.N.Y).
The United States filed a complaint against Upstate Shredding, LLC
and Weitsman Shredding, LLC (``Upstate'') under section 113(a)(1) of
the Clean Air
[[Page 47189]]
Act, 42 U.S.C. 7413(a)(1), and the New York state implementation plan.
In the complaint, the United States seeks injunctive relief and civil
penalties arising from alleged excess emissions of volatile organic
compounds at the defendants' metal shredding facility in Owego, NY. The
proposed consent decree requires the defendants to pay a civil penalty
of $400,000, plus interest accruing from the date of entry to the
payment date; and to install pollution control technology to limit
future emissions of volatile organic compounds.

the consent decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant
Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, and
