DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the Toxic Substances Control Act
On July 19, 2022, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed Consent Decree (the "Consent Decree") with the District Court of the Southern District of New York in a lawsuit entitled United States of America v. CISNE NY Construction, Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 22-338.
In this action, the United States seeks, as provided under Toxic Substances Control Act ("TSCA"), injunctive relief from Edison Ruilova and CISNE Contracting, Inc., among others, in connection with the defendants' unlawful work practices during renovations governed by an implementing regulation of the TSCA-the Renovation, Repair, and Painting Rule, 40 CFR part 745 (the "RRP Rule"). The proposed settlement resolves the United States' claims against two of five defendants, requires Edison Ruilova and CISNE Contracting, Inc. to pay $25,000, and imposes injunctive relief. The injunctive relief required of the settling defendants mandates ongoing compliance with the RRP Rule, completion of an RRP Checklist at all worksites, and notification of EPA in advance of projects that implicate the RRP Rule.
