On June 5, 2020, the court entered the amended consent decree resolving Clean Air Act ( CAA ) violations at Georgia-Pacific's (GP) chemical and paper/pulp plants located in Crossett, Arkansas. The amended consent decree resolves the United States' and the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality's claims under Sections 113(b)(2) and 112(r) of the CAA, as well as Arkansas Code Annotated 8-4-103 et seq. The original CD was lodged on December 14, 2018. In June of 2019, GP announced that it would be closing a large portion of the pulp mill, resulting in the need for an Amended CD. The Amended CD was lodged on February 3, 2020 and had a 30-day public comment period. Under the terms of the Amended Consent Decree, GP will pay a penalty of $600,000 and will implement 3 new SEPs to replace those under the superseded 2018 lodged Consent Decree. These new SEPs are, as with the original Decree, valued at approximately $1.8 million in total. The State of Arkansas joined in the suit and will receive half of the $600,000 penalty. This settlement is the result of years of cross-divisional collaboration and Environmental Justice communication.
