DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
 

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

    In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 CFR 50.7, and pursuant 
to Section 113(g) of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. Sec. 7413(g), notice 
is hereby given that a proposed consent decree in United States v. Sun 
Company, Inc. (R & M), Civil Action No. 94-5483, was logwed on 
September 7, 1994 with the United States District Court for the Eastern 
District of Pennsylvania.
    The proposed consent decree was lodged simultaneously with the 
filing of the complaint in this action. The complaint and proposed 
consent decree concern violations of the Clean Air Act, 42, U.S.C. 
Sec. 7401 et seq. (``the Act''), and National Emission Standard for 
Hazardous Pollutants for Benzene Emissions from Benzene Transfer 
Operations, 40 CFR Part 61, Subpart BB (``Benzene Transfer NESHAP''), 
promulgated under Section 112 of the Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 
Sec. 7412, at the defendant's oil refining facility located in Marcus 
Hook, Pennsylvania. The complaint alleges that the defendant failed to 
complete construction of a benzene vapor recovery system and come into 
compliance with the Benzene Transfer NESHAP until approximately nine 
months after the deadlines established in a compliance waiver EPA 
granted to defendant, pursuant to 40 CFR 61.10, for defendant's Marcus 
Hook facility. The proposed consent decree requires defendant to comply 
with the Act and the Benzene Transfer NESHAP in its future operations 
at the Marcus Hook facility, and to pay a $160,230 civil penalty.
    The Department of Justice will receive, for a period of thirty (30)
