DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under The Clean Air 
Act

    On June 22, 2017, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the Northern 
District of Ohio in the lawsuit entitled United States v. Lima Refining 
Company, Civil Action No. 3:17-cv-01320-JZ.
    This Consent Decree resolves claims against Lima Refining Company 
with respect to violations of the Clean Air Act at Lima Refining's 
petroleum refinery located in Lima, Ohio. Coincidental with the entry 
of the Consent Decree we are also resolving claims for stipulated 
penalties for violations of a Consent Decree Addendum entered into with 
Lima Refining Company regarding this facility in 2007 involving the 
Facility (``2007 Addendum'').
    The Consent Decree requires a penalty of $706,982. Moreover, Lima 
has to pay $293,018 ($146,509 to the State of Ohio and $146,509 to the 
United States) to resolve the Stipulated Penalty claims. Therefore, 
Lima Refining will pay a total of $1,000,000 in penalties. In addition, 
the Consent Decree requires that Lima Refining perform injunctive 
relief related to its leak detection and repair program, continuous 
emissions monitoring system, flare efficiency and minimization, and its 
sulfur recovery plant. Lima Refining will also will perform a lead 
paint abatement supplemental environmental project. In addition, as 
mitigation, Lima Refining will install oxygen enrichment at two of its 
sulfur recovery units, which will result in lower sulfur emissions.
    The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on 
the Consent Decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant 
Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, and
