In accordance with section 113(g) of the Clean Air Act, as amended ("CAA" or the "Act"), 42 U.S.C. 7413(g), notice is hereby given of a proposed consent decree to address a lawsuit filed by Sierra Club and Medical Advocates for Healthy Air (collectively "Plaintiffs") in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California: Sierra Club, et al. v. Jackson, No. 10-cv-01954 VRW (N.D. CAO.). On May 6, 2010, Plaintiffs filed a complaint alleging that EPA failed to perform a mandatory duty under section 110(k)(2) of the CAA, 42 U.S.C. 7410(k)(2) to take timely final action to approve, disapprove, or partially approve/disapprove the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District's 8-Hour Ozone Plan, which was submitted to EPA on November 16, 2007. The proposed consent decree establishes a deadline for EPA to take action.
