The alleged violations involve all twenty-two steam-assisted flares at these refineries. Under the Consent Decree, MPC is required to minimize flaring and to efficiently combust any gases that are flared. Under the flare minimization terms of the settlement, MPC will implement waste gas minimization plans at each refinery; analyze the root causes of flaring events in order to prevent them in the future; and, after several years of these efforts, comply with ‘‘flaring caps,’’ which limit the volume of gas that MPC can flare. Under the flare efficiency terms of the settlement, MPC will install numerous monitoring systems on the flares; integrate the data from the monitoring systems into automatic control logic for operation of the flares; comply with several operating limits that are designed to ensure 98% combustion efficiency; and agree to comply with 98% combustion efficiency at each flare. As a mitigation project, MPC will install controls on the sludge-handling facilities at its Detroit Refinery at an estimated cost of $2.2 million. MPC also will pay a civil penalty of $460,000.
