Notice of Lodging of First Amendment
To Consent Decree Under the Clean
Air Act
Under 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby
given that on January 11, 2007, a First
Amendment to the Consent Decree
entered in the case of United States, et
al. v. ConocoPhillips Company, Civil
Action No. H–05–0258, was lodged with
the United States District Court for the
Southern District of Texas.
Under the original Consent Decree,
the ConocoPhillips Company (‘‘COPC’’)
agreed to implement innovative
pollution control technologies to reduce
emissions of nitrogen oxides, sulfur
dioxide, and particulate matter from
refinery process units at nine refineries
owned and operated by COPC. COPC
also agreed to adopt facility-wide
enhanced benzene waste monitoring
and fugitive emission control programs.
COPC still is so obligated, but under the
First Amendment, COPC will install
additional pollution control technology,
including, in one instance, a new
electrostatic precipitator, in
consideration for deadline extensions.
In addition, COPC will be entitled to
numerous deadline extensions at
COPC’s refinery in Belle Chasse,
Louisiana, because of damage that
refinery suffered from Hurricane
Katrina. In the First Amendment, the
United States is joined by the State of
Illinois, the State of Louisiana, the State
of New Jersey, the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, and the Northwest Clean
Air Agency in the State of Washington.
The Department of Justice will receive
for a period of thirty (30) days from the
date of this publication comments
relating to the First Amendment.
Comments should be addressed to the
Assistant Attorney General,
