On October 23, 2012, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed consent decree with the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii in the lawsuit entitled United States v. County of Maui, Hawaii, Civil Action No. CV 12 00571 LEK RLP.
In this action, the United States filed a complaint under the Clean Air Act alleging violations at the Central Maui Municipal Solid Waste Landfill located on the island of Maui in Hawaii. The consent decree requires the County to implement injunctive relief including conducting enhanced gas monitoring, complying with interim wellhead temperature limits and implementing fire response procedures.
