DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree 

Pursuant to the Clean Air Act 

Notice is hereby given that on April 

4, 2007, a proposed consent decree in 

United States and Illinois v. PennTex 

Resources Illinois, Inc. and Rex Energy 

Operating Corp., Civil Action No. 07–

0241, was lodged with the United States 

District Court for the Southern District 

of Illinois. 

In this civil action brought pursuant 

to the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7603, the 

United States sought to prevent the 

emission of hydrogen sulfide in 

amounts that may present an imminent 

and substantial endangerment to human 

health, welfare or the environment from 

oil production facilities owned by 

PennTex Resources Illinois, Inc. and 

operated by Rex Energy Operating Corp. 

near the towns of Bridgeport and 

Petrolia in Lawrence County, Illinois. 

The State of Illinois joined this action as 

co-plaintiff asserting a claim under state 

law to prevent air pollution. Under the 

proposed consent decree, PennTex and 

Rex Energy will install vapor control 

measures to collect hydrogen sulfide 

from eight gathering facilities and 

destroy them in elevated flares. 

The Department of Justice will accept 

comments relating to the proposed 

consent decree for a period of thirty (30)
