Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the Clean Air Act
[top] On August 5, 2022, the United States' Department of Justice filed a Complaint
The proposed Consent Decree resolves several Clean Air Act and State law claims against Metalworking Lubricants Company (MLC), for alleged violations of the Clean Air Act and MLC's Federally Enforceable State Operating Permit, including for emitting more than 24 tons per year of organic hazardous air pollutants from MLC's used oil processing facility located in Indianapolis, Indiana. Under the settlement, MLC will install, maintain, operate, and continuously monitor a Carbon Adsorption System to control organic emissions from its oil and wastewater processing tanks. MLC also will install new tanks, oil-water separators, piping and/or ductwork, and make repairs to the existing tanks, oil-water separators, piping and/or ductwork to ensure that all existing, new, and replacement oil processing tanks and oil-water separators are covered by fixed roofs and vented directly through a closed-vent system to significantly reduce emissions. In addition, MLC will pay a civil penalty of $310,000, split equally between the United States and the State of Indiana.
