DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Pursuant To the Clean Air Act
In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 CFR 50.7, and pursuant
to Section 113(g) of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. Sec. 7413(g), notice
is hereby given that a proposed consent decree in United States v. Sun
Company, Inc. (R & M), Civil Action No. 94-5483, was logwed on
September 7, 1994 with the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Pennsylvania.
The proposed consent decree was lodged simultaneously with the
filing of the complaint in this action. The complaint and proposed
consent decree concern violations of the Clean Air Act, 42, U.S.C.

Hazardous Pollutants for Benzene Emissions from Benzene Transfer
Operations, 40 CFR Part 61, Subpart BB (``Benzene Transfer NESHAP''),
promulgated under Section 112 of the Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C.
Sec. 7412, at the defendant's oil refining facility located in Marcus
Hook, Pennsylvania. The complaint alleges that the defendant failed to
complete construction of a benzene vapor recovery system and come into
compliance with the Benzene Transfer NESHAP until approximately nine
months after the deadlines established in a compliance waiver EPA
granted to defendant, pursuant to 40 CFR 61.10, for defendant's Marcus
Hook facility. The proposed consent decree requires defendant to comply
with the Act and the Benzene Transfer NESHAP in its future operations
at the Marcus Hook facility, and to pay a $160,230 civil penalty.
