This excerpt taken from the CVX 10-K filed Feb 28, 2007. Item 3. Legal
Proceedings
Chevron’s U.S. refineries are implementing a consent
decree with the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
and four state air agencies to resolve claims about
Chevron’s past application of “New Source Review”
permitting programs under the Clean Air Act. The consent decree
provides that Chevron will pay stipulated penalties for certain
violations of the consent decree, if demand is made by the EPA.
In July 2006, Chevron’s refinery in Pascagoula, Mississippi
exceeded its emission limit under the consent decree for
particulate matter. The exceedance was reported at the time and
the possibility of a penalty was discussed. In January 2007, the
Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) and the
EPA issued a notice of violation and a request for payment of
$210,000 in stipulated penalties for the July 2006 particulate
matter exceedance. The company, the EPA and the MDEQ are in
negotiation with regard to the nature and amount of the penalty
demand.
