BILLING CODE 4410–15–M

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree

Under the Clean Air Act,

Comprehensive Environmental

Response, Compensation, and Liability

Act, Emergency Planning and

Community Right-To-Know Act, and

the Federal Water Pollution Control Act

In accordance with Departmental

policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby

given that a proposed consent decree in

the case of United States v. BHP

Petroleum Americas Refining, Inc., now

known as Tesoro Hawaii Corporation,

Civil Action No. 00–00264 DAE (D.

Hawaii), was lodged with the United

States District Court for the District of

Hawaii on April 10, 2000.

The proposed consent decree resolves

claims that the United States asserted

against Tesoro Hawaii Corporation

(Tesoro) in a civil complaint filed

concurrently with the lodging of the

consent decree. The complaint alleges

that Tesoro failed to comply with New

Source Performance Standards under

the Clean Air Act, including

requirements to: provide notice of

startup; maintain facilities consistent

with good air quality practice; meet

limits on hydrogen sulfide in fuel gas;

comply with a leak detection and repair

program for equipment in volatile

organic compound service; and comply

with work practice standards for the

refinery’s wastewater system. In

addition, the complaint alleges that

Tesoro failed to comply with National

Emission Standards for Hazardous Air

Pollutants under the Clean Air Act,

including requirements to provide

notice of construction startup and to

comply with a leak detection and repair

program for benzene sources. The

complaint also alleges that Tesoro failed

on several days to properly notify the

National Response Center, the State

Emergency Response Commission, and

the Local Emergency Planning

Committee of the releases of hazardous

substances from the refinery as required

by section 103 of the Comprehensive

Environmental Response,

Compensation, and Liability Act and

section 304 of the Emergency Planning

and Community Right-to-Know Act.

Finally, the complaint alleges that

Tesoro failed to prepare and implement

a Spill Prevention Control and

Countermeasure Plan and failed to

revise and implement a Facility

Response Plan, as required by

regulations issued pursuant to section

311 of the Federal Water Pollution

Control Act.

The proposed consent decree requires

defendant to pay a civil penalty of

$681,780. In addition, defendant is

required to modify the air blower and

burner systems at the refinery’s sulfur

recovery units to avoid unplanned

shutdowns of the units, which leads to

excess sulfur dioxide air emissions from

the refinery. In addition, Tesoro is

required to add capacity to its

containment areas and to place new

coatings on its berms and containment

floors to contain spilled oil and to

prevent an oil spill to waters of the

United States. Tesoro also agreed to

undertake a supplemental

environmental project to provide

equipment worth $50,000 to the City

and County of Honolulu for

management of inventory data and

emergency planning.

The Department of Justice will accept

comments relating to this consent

decree for a period of thirty (30) days

from the date of this publication.

Address your comments to the Assistant

Attorney General for the Environment

and Natural Resources Division,

Department of Justice, Washington, DC

20530, and send a copy to the

Environmental Enforcement Section,

Attn: Robert Mullaney, U.S. Department

of Justice, 301 Howard Street, Suite 870,

San Francisco, CA 94105. Your

comments should refer to United States

v. BHP Petroleum Americas Refining,

Inc., now known as Tesoro Hawaii

Corporation, Civil Action No. 00–00264

DAE (D. Hawaii), and DOJ No. 90–5–2–

1–2124.

consent decree at the office of the
