On May 12, 2025, the district court for the District of Columbia entered a Consent Decree (Civil Action No. 1:25-cv-120) between EPA and Fayat S.A.S., and nine of its subsidiaries (collectively, ?Fayat?). This matter arose from a 2018 EPA inspection at the Port of Baltimore of nonroad heavy machinery equipped with engines that did not meet applicable emission standards. The settlement resolves alleged violations of the CAA and federal regulations codified at 40 C.F.R. Parts 1039 and 1068 by requiring Fayat to mitigate the environmental harm from excess emissions and pay a civil penalty for past non-compliance. The complaint alleged that Fayat manufactured and illegally imported, sold, and/or introduced into United States commerce hundreds of pieces of nonroad machinery utilizing engines that did not meet applicable emission standards or that were disqualified from, or exceeded, Fayat?s allowance under the Transition Program for Equipment Manufacturers regulations. The Complaint alleged that Fayat violated certain labeling and annual reporting and import declaration form requirements. Under the Consent Decree, Fayat must pay an $11 million civil penalty for past non-compliance. The settlement also includes provisions to mitigate excess emissions of nitrogen oxides (?NOx?) and particulate matter (?PM?) resulting from Fayat?s non-compliance. Specifically, Fayat must undertake a repowering project of a tugboat operating in Mobile, Alabama, with two Tier 0 400hp diesel propulsion
