This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For complete information about, and access to, our official publications and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.
The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.
On July 1, 2020, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin in the lawsuit entitled United States v. Waste Management of Wisconsin, Inc., Civil Action No. 20-cv-993.
The United States brought this case under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”), 42 U.S.C. 6901 et seq. The Complaint alleges that Waste Management improperly disposed of hazardous waste at the Metro Recycling and Disposal Facility in Franklin, Wisconsin. The Consent Decree requires Waste Management to pay a civil penalty of $232,000, implement a program of groundwater and leachate testing, and enforce policies designed to ensure future compliance with RCRA. The Consent Decree would resolve the United States' RCRA claims in the complaint and other potential RCRA claims based on the same type of waste addressed in the complaint.
The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on the Consent Decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, and should refer to United States v. Waste Management of Wisconsin, Inc., D.J. Ref.
