DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree under the Clean Air Act
On January 9, 2024, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the Western District of New York in the lawsuit entitled United States of America v. Allied Waste Niagara Falls Landfill, LLC, Case No. 1:24-cv-36.
The United States filed this lawsuit to seek civil penalties and injunctive relief for violations of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq. ("CAA"). The alleged violations stem from the failure by Allied Niagara Falls Landfill, LLC ("Allied") to comply with federally-enforceable regulations applicable to municipal solid waste ("MSW") landfills. Allied operates a MSW landfill in Niagara Falls, New York.
The Consent Decree provides for Allied to come into compliance with the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq., and its municipal solid waste landfill regulations by installing and operating a gas collection and control system at its landfill and to pay a $671,000 civil penalty.
