DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Modification
On April 24, 2024, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed
Consent Decree Modification (``Modification'') with the United States
District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan in the lawsuit
entitled United States v. Dow Silicones Corp. Civ. A. No. 19-11880.
The proposed Modification amends the Revised Consent Decree entered
by the Court on January 24, 2020, which resolved Plaintiff's claims
that Defendant violated various federal environmental statutes
including the Clean Water Act at its chemical manufacturing plant
located in Midland, Michigan. The proposed Modification extends a
deadline in the Revised Consent Decree for Defendant's implementation
of a Stormwater Capacity and Pollutant Evaluation from January 24, 2023
to January 24, 2026. The proposed Modification also includes
requirements to mitigate any environmental harm associated with the
extension of the deadline.
The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on
the proposed Modification. Comments should be addressed to the
Assistant Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division,
and should refer to United States v. Dow Silicones Corp. Civ. A. No.
19-11880 and DJ No. 90-5-2-1-10469. All comments must be submitted no
