Notice of Lodging of Proposed
Consent Decree Under the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act
On January 21, 2022, the Department
of Justice lodged a proposed consent
decree with the United States District
Court for the District of Puerto Rico in
the lawsuit entitled United States of
America v. To Go Stores, LLC, Civil
Action No. 3:22–cv–1038.
The United States filed the complaint
in this Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA) case concurrently
with the lodging of the Proposed
Consent Decree. The Complaint alleges
that Defendant To Go Stores, LLC is
civilly liable for violations of
regulations promulgated under RCRA
Subchapter IX governing underground
storage tanks. The complaint alleges that
To Go Stores failed to comply with
RCRA regulations, as administered by
the Puerto Rico Department of Natural
and Environmental Resources, for
underground storage tanks at 15 gas
stations owned and/or operated by To
Go Stores in Puerto Rico. The alleged
violations include failure to: Adequately
monitor for releases; provide adequate
spill and overfill prevention equipment;
provide and maintain corrosion
protection equipment; maintain records;
secure monitoring wells; report and
investigate suspected releases; and
obtain financial assurance.
Under the Proposed Consent Decree,
To Go Stores will inspect certain
facilities; install new tanks at certain
facilities; and install and operate a
centralized monitoring system and new
release detection equipment, including
automatic tank gauging, at 43 facilities
in Puerto Rico. To Go Stores will pay a
civil penalty of $125,000. The Proposed
Consent Decree will resolve all RCRA
claims alleged in this action by the
United States against To Go Stores.
The publication of this notice opens
a period for public comment on the
Proposed Consent Decree. Comments
should be addressed to the Assistant
Attorney General, Environment and
Natural Resources Division,
Environmental Enforcement Section,
and should refer to United States v. To
Go Stores, LLC, D.J. Ref. No. 90–7–1–
11717. All comments must be submitted
no later than thirty (30) days after the
publication date of this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

I. Background
Section 103(h) of the Federal Mine
Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine
Act), 30 U.S.C. 813(h), authorizes
MSHA to collect information necessary
to carry out its duty in protecting the
safety and health of miners. Further,
section 103(h) requires that every
operator of a coal or other mine
establish and maintain records, make
reports, and provide required

information to the Secretary of Labor
(Secretary). Section 101(a) of the Mine
Act, 30 U.S.C. 811(a), authorizes the
Secretary to develop, promulgate, and
revise as may be appropriate, improved
mandatory health or safety standards for
the protection of life and prevention of
injuries in coal or other mines.
Each operator of a surface coal mine
is required under 30 CFR 77.1000 to
establish and follow a ground control
plan for highwalls, pits, and spoil banks
that is consistent with prudent
engineering design and which will
ensure safe working conditions. The
mine operator is required by section
77.1000–1 to file the ground control
plan with the appropriate District
Manager. The mining methods
employed by the operator are selected to
ensure highwall, pit, and spoil bank
stability. In the event of a highwall
failure or material dislodgment, there
may be very little time to escape
possible injury; therefore, preventive
measures must be taken. Each plan is
based on the type of strata expected to
be encountered, the height and angle of
highwalls and spoil banks, and the
equipment to be used at the mine. The
plan is used to show how the mine
operator will maintain safe working
conditions around the highwalls, pits,
and spoil banks. Each plan is reviewed
by MSHA to ensure that highwalls, pits,
and spoil banks are maintained in a safe
condition through implementation of
sound engineering design.

II. Desired Focus of Comments
MSHA is soliciting comments
concerning the proposed information
collection related to Ground Control for
Surface Coal Mines and Surface Work
Areas of Underground Coal Mines.
MSHA is particularly interested in
comments that:
• Evaluate whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Agency, including whether the
information has practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of MSHA’s
estimate of the burden related to the
information collection, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used in the estimate;
• Suggest methods to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
information collection on those who are
to respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.
