DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
 

Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Pursuant To the Clean Air Act

    In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is 
hereby given that a proposed consent decree in United States v. Sun 
Company, Inc. (R&M), Civil Action No. 94-5481, was lodged on September 
7, 1994, with the United States District Court for the Eastern District 
of Pennsylvania. The consent decree addresses violations of Sections 
307 and 390 (b) and (d) of the Clean Water Act (the ``Act''), 33 U.S.C. 
1317 and 1319 (b) and (d), against Sun Company, Inc. (R&M) (``SUN'') 
the owner and operator of a petroleum refinery in Marcus Hook, 
Pennsylvania. The United States has alleged that SUN violated the Act 
by discharging pollutants from its Marcus Hook facility into the 
Delaware County Regional Water Control Authority (``DELCORA''), a 
publicly-owned treatment works (``POTW'') located in Chester, 
Pennsylvania in violation of the pretreatment requirements applicable 
to such discharges under Section 307 of the Act, 33 U.S.C. 1317, and 
further for causing DELCORA to violate effluent limits imposed by its 
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (``NPDES'') permits, 
issued pursuant to Section 402 of the Act, 33 U.S.C. 1342. In addition 
to several ``pass-through'' incidents, SUN allegedly violated on 
numerous occasions regulatory limits for oil and grease and ammonia 
nitrogen, and permit limits for Total Suspended Solids, BOD5, pH, 
benzene, and phenol.
    The Department of Justice will receive, for a period of thirty (30) 
days from the date of this publication, comments relating to the 
proposed consent decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant 
Attorney General for the Environment and Natural Resources Division, 
Department of Justice, Washington, D.C. 20530, and should refer to 
United States v. Sun Co., Inc. (R&M), DOJ Ref. #90-5-1-1-4140.
    The proposed consent decree may be examined at the office of the 
United States Attorney, 615 Chestnut Street, 13th Floor, Suite 1300, 
Philadelphia Life Building, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19106; the 
Region III Office of the Environmental Protection Agency, 841 Chestnut 
Building, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19107; and at the Consent Decree 
Library, 1120 G Street, N.W., 4th Floor, Washington, D.C. 20005, (202) 
624-0892. A copy of the proposed consent decree may be obtained in
