The Department of Justice has proposed a change to a Consent Decree related to violations of the Clean Air Act by Ohio Fresh Eggs, LLC and its associated entities. The original decree required the company to reduce pollution from facilities housing egg-laying chickens. The proposed change aims to address continued violations by implementing alternative solutions approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and imposing penalties totaling $5,816,250. The public is invited to comment on this proposal within 30 days of its announcement, and the details can be reviewed on the Department of Justice's website.

The government wants to change a plan they made with a company because the company didn’t stop making air dirty. They want to try new ideas to fix it and also make the company pay a big fine. People can tell the government what they think about this change for the next 30 days.
