    The Joint Stipulation modifies the Supplemental Environmental

part of the Sixth Amendment to the Consent Decree. The Sixth Amendment 
to the Consent Decree resolved the United States' civil claims against 
BP Products North America Inc. (``BP Products'') for alleged Clean Air 
Act (``CAA'') violations at its petroleum refinery located in Texas 
City, Texas (the ``Texas City Refinery''). The Joint Stipulation 
modifies the Natural Gas Conversion SEP so that heavy-duty diesel

and the Texas City Independent School District can now be converted as 
part of the Natural Gas Conversion SEP. The Joint Stipulation also 
requires BP Products to convert two additional heavy-duty diesel 
vehicles as part of the Natural Gas Conversion SEP, and eliminates the 
requirement to convert light-duty gasoline vehicles. Pursuant to the 
Sixth Amendment, BP Products was required to spend at least $6,000,000 
on the Natural Gas Conversion SEP. Pursuant to the Joint Stipulation, 
BP Products will have to spend at least $6,250,000 in completing the 
modified SEP.
    The Joint Stipulation also requires BP Products to perform a 
``Handheld Air Monitor SEP.'' As part of this SEP, BP Products will 
provide the Galveston County Health District and the Texas City Fire 
Department with handheld ambient air monitors that are capable of 
detecting volatile organic compounds (VOCs), as well as other toxic and 
combustible gases. BP Products is required to spend at least $35,000 in 
completing the Handheld Air Monitor SEP.
    The Department of Justice will receive for a period of thirty (30)
