The consent decree requires Gristedes to implement a new
Refrigerant Compliance Management Plan; to reduce its company-wide
refrigerant leak rates; to repair or replace specified appliances; to
convert certain stores to using more advanced refrigerants; and to pay
a $400,000 civil penalty to the United States.
