    The Department of Justice has lodged a proposed consent decree with a South Carolina court as part of a lawsuit against LANXESS Corporation. The lawsuit, filed under the Clean Air Act, claims that LANXESS failed to properly manage and monitor equipment at its Charleston facility to prevent hazardous air pollutant leaks. The proposed decree includes a $650,000 civil penalty and requires LANXESS to perform substantial environmental projects, costing at least $3.545 million, to comply with the Clean Air Act. The public can submit comments on this proposed decree within 30 days, either by email or mail.
