DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


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

    In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 U.S.C. 50.7, and 
pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 7413(g), notice is hereby given that a proposed 
Consent Decree in United States v. Total Petroleum, Inc., Civil Action 
No. 97-182 P, was lodged on April 3, 1998, with the United States 
District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma.
    The Consent Decree settles an action brought under section 113 of 
the Clean Air Act (``the Act''), 42 U.S.C. 7413, and the Standards of 
Performance for New Stationary Sources (``NSPS''), 40 CFR part 60, 
subparts A, Ka, VV, GGG, and QQQ. The Consent Decree provides for 
Total's payment of a civil penalty to the United States in the amount 
of $75,000, and requires Total to implement and complete a Pollution 
Reduction Supplemental Environmental Project (``SEP'') costing $315,700 
at its Ardmore, Oklahoma facility. The SEP involves the redesign of the 
alkylation neutralization system to minimize emissions to the 
atmosphere, eliminate the risk of soil, air and ground water 
contamination from the system and eliminate any risks to operators by 
installing a bulk dry line system with enclosed auger delivery into a 
sealed covered unit. The sealed covered unit will have double 
containment and leak detection system and scrubbers will minimize fumes 
and lime dust.
    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,

States v. Total Petroleum, Inc., DOJ Ref. #90-5-2-1-1985.
    The proposed Consent Decree may be examined at the office of the 
United States Attorney, Eastern District of Oklahoma, 1200 W. Okmulgee 
Street, Muskogee, Oklahoma 74401; the Region VI Office of the 
Environmental Protection Agency, 1445 Ross Avenue, Dallas, Texas; and 
at the Consent Decree Library, 1120 G Street, NW, 4th Floor, 
Washington, D.C. 2005, (202) 624-0892. A copy of the proposed Consent 
Decree may be obtained in person or by mail from the Consent Decree
