BILLING CODE 4410–BA–P
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed
Consent Decree Amendment Under
The Clean Air Act
On April 13, 2021, the Department of
Justice lodged a proposed Fourth
Consent Decree Amendment Concerning
ExxonMobil’s Joliet Refinery (the
‘‘Fourth Decree Amendment’’) with the
United States District Court for the
Northern District of Illinois in the
lawsuit entitled United States v. Exxon
Mobil Corp., Case No. 05 C 5809.
In 2005, the United States and the
states of Illinois, Louisiana, and
Montana filed a Complaint in this
lawsuit seeking civil penalties and
injunctive relief from Defendants Exxon
Mobil Corporation and ExxonMobil Oil
Corporation (‘‘ExxonMobil’’). The
Complaint alleged violations of the
Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7401–7671q,
and several other environmental statutes
at ExxonMobil’s six domestic petroleum
refineries, including ExxonMobil’s
refinery in Joliet, Illinois (the ‘‘Joliet
Refinery’’). When the Complaint was
filed, the United States also lodged a
proposed Consent Decree containing the
terms of a proposed settlement, which
included requirements that ExxonMobil
pay $7.7 million in civil penalties and
make an array of improvements to its
refineries’ pollution control equipment
and environmental compliance
programs. The Court approved and
entered that proposed Consent Decree
after a public comment period. The
2005 Consent Decree and three
subsequent amendments (collectively
referred to here as the ‘‘Original Consent
Decree’’) are posted on this EPA
website: https://www.epa.gov/
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:20 Apr 21, 2021
Jkt 253001
enforcement/exxonmobil-refinerysettlement.
ExxonMobil paid the civil penalties
required by the Original Consent Decree
and has satisfied most requirements of
the Original Consent Decree for the
Joliet Refinery. However, the United
States contends that ExxonMobil has
violated some requirements of the
Original Consent Decree that apply to
the Joliet Refinery. The United States
also contends that ExxonMobil has
violated some other Clean Air Act
requirements applicable to the Joliet
Refinery. Furthermore, the United States
contends that those violations of the
Original Consent Decree and the Clean
Air Act support claims for stipulated
penalties, statutory civil penalties, and
additional injunctive relief.
The proposed Fourth Decree
Amendment would make material
changes to the Original Consent Decree,
but only as it applies to ExxonMobil’s
Joliet Refinery. The Fourth Decree
Amendment would replace the Original
Consent Decree’s requirement for the
Joliet Refinery with more targeted
requirements addressing ExxonMobil’s
recent alleged failings. Among other
things, the proposed Fourth Decree
Amendment would require that
ExxonMobil: (i) Accept and comply
with more stringent air pollutant
emission limits for one major process
unit at the Joliet Refinery, called the
fluid catalytic cracking unit; (ii)
improve the capture and control of
emissions from sulfur accumulation pits
that are part of another major process
unit at the Refinery, called the sulfur
recovery plant; (iii) implement an
enhanced compliance program to
identify and reduce outages and
downtime in continuous emissions
monitoring systems that measure air
pollutant emissions from various
sources at the Refinery; (iv) complete a
customized leak detection and repair
enhanced compliance program using a
high technology optical gas imaging
camera, to help identify and address
hydrocarbon leaks from particular types
of equipment at the Refinery; and (v)
pay the United States and Illinois a total
of $1,515,463 in settlement of claims for
alleged stipulated penalties under the
Original Consent Decree and civil
penalties under the Clean Air Act and
corresponding Illinois law. The Fourth
Decree Amendment would not alter the
requirements applicable to the other five
refineries covered by the Original
Consent Decree with ExxonMobil.
The publication of this notice opens
a period for public comment on the
proposed Fourth Decree Amendment.
