DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Notice of Lodging of First Amendment 

To Consent Decree Under the Clean 

Air Act 

Under 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby 

given that on January 11, 2007, a First 

Amendment to the Consent Decree 

entered in the case of United States, et 

al. v. ConocoPhillips Company, Civil 

Action No. H–05–0258, was lodged with 

the United States District Court for the 

Southern District of Texas. 

Under the original Consent Decree, 

the ConocoPhillips Company (‘‘COPC’’) 

agreed to implement innovative 

pollution control technologies to reduce 

emissions of nitrogen oxides, sulfur 

dioxide, and particulate matter from 

refinery process units at nine refineries 

owned and operated by COPC. COPC 

also agreed to adopt facility-wide 

enhanced benzene waste monitoring 

and fugitive emission control programs. 

COPC still is so obligated, but under the 

First Amendment, COPC will install 

additional pollution control technology, 

including, in one instance, a new 

electrostatic precipitator, in 

consideration for deadline extensions. 

In addition, COPC will be entitled to 

numerous deadline extensions at 

COPC’s refinery in Belle Chasse, 

Louisiana, because of damage that 

refinery suffered from Hurricane 

Katrina. In the First Amendment, the 

United States is joined by the State of 

Illinois, the State of Louisiana, the State 

of New Jersey, the Commonwealth of 

Pennsylvania, and the Northwest Clean 

Air Agency in the State of Washington. 

The Department of Justice will receive 

for a period of thirty (30) days from the 

date of this publication comments 

relating to the First Amendment. 

Comments should be addressed to the 

Assistant Attorney General,
