at the four petroleum refineries owned and operated by Chevron U.S.A.
Inc. (``Chevron''), which are located in Richmond, California; El
Segundo, California; Pascagoula, Mississippi; and Salt Lake City, Utah;
as well as a fifth petroleum refinery formerly owned and operated by
Chevron, located in Kapolei, Hawaii. The State of Mississippi is also
resolving its related state law claims at the refinery located in
Pascagoula, Mississippi. The proposed Consent Decree also resolves
