                    In this action, the United States sought a civil penalty and injunctive relief for violations of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7401,                     *et seq.,*                     and its implementing regulations, in connection with the petroleum refinery that settling defendant Total Petrochemicals USA, Inc. operates at Highway 366 and 32nd Street in Port Arthur, Texas. Specifically, the United States alleged violations of the New Source Performance Standards for petroleum refineries and the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Benzene Waste Operations. The Consent Decree requires Total Petrochemicals USA, Inc. to  implement injunctive relief to improve its refinery's performance, including reducing emissions from major refinery units, reducing the flaring of process upset gasses, improving leak detection and repair procedures, and improving the management of benzene wastewater streams. The Decree also requires Total to pay a $2.9 million civil penalty.
