DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Pursuant to the Clean Water
Act

    Pursuant to the Clean Water Act and the categorical pretreatment
standards contained at 40 CFR 414.55 and 414.111, notice is hereby
given that a proposed consent decree embodying a settlement in United
States v. Georgia-Pacific Resins, Inc., CIV-S-00-2531 GEB-PAN (E.D.
Cal.), was lodged on November 16, 2000, with the United States District
Court for the Eastern District of California.
    Specifically, Georgia-Pacific discharged zinc and toluene in excess
of the categorical pretreatment standards from its thermosetting resin
manufacturing facility located at Elk Grove, California, to the
Sacramento Regional County Sanitation District's Treatment Plant.
    Under the proposed consent decree, the settling party will pay a
$165,000 penalty and perform a supplemental environmental project which
will result in Georgia-Pacific reducing the amount of hazardous solids
generated in the resin manufacturing process.
