DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Proposed Amendment To Consent Decree Under 
the Clean Air Act

    On September 20, 2013, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
Amendment to Consent Decree with the United States District Court for 
the Eastern District of Texas in the lawsuit entitled United States v. 
Total Petrochemicals USA, Inc., Civil Action No. 07-cv-00248-MAC.
    The United States filed this lawsuit, along with a Consent Decree 
resolving the claims in the complaint, in 2007. The United States' 
complaint sought injunctive relief and civil penalties for violations 
of the Clean Air Act at the defendant's petroleum refinery in Port 
Arthur, Texas. The consent decree required the defendant to perform 
injunctive relief and pay a civil penalty. The Amendment to Consent 
Decree resolves various violations of the 2007 Consent Decree. The 
Amendment, along with a Stipulation and Order filed therewith, requires 
the defendant to perform additional injunctive relief and pay a 
$8,750,000 stipulated penalty.
    The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on 
the Amendment to Consent Decree. Comments should be addressed to the 
Assistant Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, 
and should refer to United States v. Total Petrochemicals USA, Inc.,
