DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice Lodging of Proposed Material Modification to Consent
Decree Under the Clean Air Act
On March 24, 2024, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed
material modification to a Consent Decree (``Decree'') with the United
States District Court for the Western District of Washington in the
lawsuit entitled United States v. Trident Seafoods Corp., et. al, Civil
Action 2:19-cv-231. See Dkt. No. 8.
The Consent Decree--entered by the court in May 2019--resolved
alleged violations of Title X of the Clean Air Act stemming from
Trident's use of ozone-depleting refrigerants on board fishing vessels
and at seafood processing facilities in Alaska and in the Pacific
Northwest. The Decree includes requirements that Trident retrofit or
retire a number of its larger refrigeration appliances in accordance
with a ten-year schedule. The proposed material modification extends
certain deadlines in that schedule by up to two years and requires that
Trident retrofit or retire the appliances on an additional vessel by
January 31, 2032.
The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on
the proposed material modification. Comments should be addressed to the
Assistant Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division,
and should refer to United States v. Trident Seafoods Corp., et al.,
D.J. Ref. No. 90-5-2-1-11183. All comments must be submitted no later
than thirty (30) days after the publication date of this notice.
