Notice is hereby given that a consent decree in United States v.
Coastal Eagle Point Oil Co. et al., Civil Action No. 98-3995 (JHR) (D.
N.J.) was lodged with the United States District Court for the District

In this action the United States sought civil penalties under the
Clean Air Act (``CAA''), 42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq., against Coastal Eagle

Act; to pay a civil penalty to the United States of $300,000; and to
implement a supplemental environmental project (``SEP'') at an
estimated cost of $960,000. The SEP requires Coastal to install and
operate an Amine Scrubber Unit in the refinery fuel gas system supply
the boiler and cogeneration plants. The Amine Scrubber Unit shall be
capable of operating in conjunction with other existing fuel gas
treatment units to control the hydrogen sulfide (H2S)
