Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree

Pursuant to the Comprehensive

Environmental Response,

Compensation and Liability Act

Notice is hereby given that a proposed

Consent Decree in United States v.

Formosa Plastics Corporation, Texas

was lodged on January 30, 1997 with the

United States District Court for the

Southern District of Texas. The

proposed Consent Decree requires

Formosa to pay a $150,000 civil penalty

and conduct a Supplemental

Environmental Project at its Point

Comfort, Texas facility. The

Supplemental Environmental Project

includes the replacement of two

ethylene dichloride cracking furnaces at

Formosa’s facility before the end of the

useful life of the furnaces. Replacement

of the furnaces before the end of the

useful life of the equipment will reduce

emissions from existing furnaces and

reduce the amount of hazardous waste

generated by the furnaces.

Contemporaneously with lodging the

Consent Decree, the United States filed

an action against Formosa pursuant to

the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq,

Stationary Sources, 40 C.F.R. Part 60,

Subpart VV, and the National Emission

Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants,

40 C.F.R. Part 61, Subparts F, V, and FF.

This action is based upon violations that

occurred at Formosa’s facility located in

Point Comfort, Texas (‘‘Formosa’s

facility’’).
