    Under the settlement, Delek will implement air pollution control 
practices to reduce emissions of sulfur dioxide and volatile organic 
compounds (VOCs) from the refinery. Delek will adopt a refinery-wide 
enhanced flaring protocol to investigate the root cause of flaring

control program to minimize emissions of VOCs. In addition, Tyler 
Holding will pay a $624,000 civil penalty for settlement of the claims 
in the complaint.
