United States v. Tyson Foods, Inc., et al. Consent Decree Page 1WHEREAS Plaintiff the United States of America, on behalf of the United States Environmental Protection Agency ( "EPA "), has filed a complaint in this action concurrently with this Consent Decree, pursuant to Section 113(b) of the Clean Air Act ( "CAA" or the "Act"), 42 U.S.C. § 7413(b), alleging that Tyson Foods, Inc., IBP Redevelopment Corp., IBP Food Co., Foodbrands Supply Chain Services, Inc., Tyson Chicken, Inc., Tyson Deli, Inc., Tyson Fresh Meats, Inc., Tyson Poultry, Inc., Tyson Prepared Foods, Inc., Tyson Processing Services, Inc., and Tyson Refrigerated Processed Meats, Inc., (collectively "Tyson" or the "Defendants ") violated Section 112(r) of the CAA, 42 U.S.C. § 7412(r). WHEREAS The Complaint against Tyson alleges violations of Section 112(r)(7) of the CAA at twenty-three of Tyson's facilities in Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri and Kansas. Tyson uses anhydrous ammonia in the refrigeration processes at these Facilities. Anhydrous ammonia is an "extremely hazardous substance" regulated by Section 112(r)(3) of the CAA. Because of the use of an extremely hazardous substance in an amount above the threshold quantity of 10,000 pounds, all of the Facilities covered in this Decree are subject to the requirements of the Risk Management Program provisions of Section 112(r)(7) of the CAA, and its implementing regulations, 40 C.F.R. Part 68. WHEREAS Based on inspections, information requests, and internal reports, EPA alleges that there have been multiple occasions of noncompliance with the requirements of the chemical accident prevention provisions of the CAA, including failure to test or replace safety relief valves, improperly co- located gas -fired boilers and ammonia compressors, and failure to abide by the Risk Management Program requirements of CAA § 112(r)(7).

SEP Abandonment. If the Defendants have not satisfactorily completed the SEP by 90 days after the SEP Completion Date set forth in Appendix C, the United States may elect to terminate the SEP if it determines that the Defendants are not making a good faith effort to satisfactorily complete the SEP. In addition, if at any time the United States determines that the Defendants have abandoned the SEP, it may terminate the SEP. The United States shall provide written notice of SEP termination to the Defendants. If the United States terminates the SEP, the Defendants shall be liable for a lump sum stipulated penalty of $375,000, less any amount that the Defendants have paid under Paragraph 60 and less the amount of any equipment Defendants

Any sums already paid under Paragraph 60 shall be credited against the lump sum stipulated penalty due under this Paragraph. XII. FORCE MAJEURE 62. "Force Majeure," for purposes of this Consent Decree, is defined as any event arising from causes beyond the control of Defendants, of any entity controlled by Defendants, or of Defendants' contractors, which delays or prevents the performance of any obligation under this Consent Decree despite the Defendants' best efforts to fulfill the obligation. The requirement that Defendants exercise "best efforts to fulfill the obligation" includes using best efforts to anticipate any potential force majeure event and best efforts to address the effects of any such event (a) as it is occurring and (b) after it has occurred to prevent or minimize any

### Case: 1:13-cv-00056-LMB Doc. #: 2-1 Filed: 04/04/13 Page: 22 of 54 PageID #: 90resulting delay to the greatest extent possible. "Force majeure" does not include Defendants' financial inability to perform any obligation under this Consent Decree. 63. If any event occurs or has occurred that may delay the performance of any obligation under this Consent Decree, whether or not caused by a force majeure event, Defendants shall provide notice orally or by electronic mail or to the United States within seventy-two (72) hours of when the Defendants first knew that the event might cause a delay. Within seven (7) days thereafter, the Defendants shall provide in writing to the United States an explanation and description of the reasons for the delay; the anticipated duration of the delay; all actions taken or to be taken to prevent or minimize the delay; a schedule for implementation of any measures to be taken to prevent or mitigate the delay or the effect of the delay; the Defendants' rationale for attributing such delay to a force majeure event if it intends to assert such a claim; and a statement as to whether, in the opinion of the Defendants, such event may
cause or contribute to an endangerment to public health, welfare or the environment. The United States may, in its unreviewable discretion, extend the time within which notice must be given. No such extension shall be effective unless in writing. The Defendants shall include with any force majeure notice all documentation then available supporting the claim that the delay was attributable to a force majeure. Failure to comply with the above requirements shall preclude the Defendants from asserting any claim of force majeure for that event for the period of time of such failure to comply, and for any additional delay caused by such failure. Defendants shall be deemed to know of any circumstance of which the Defendants, any entity controlled by Defendants or Defendants' contractors knew or should have known. 64. If the United States agrees that the delay or anticipated delay is attributable to a force majeure event, the time for performance of the obligations under this Consent Decree that

### Case: 1:13-cv-00056-LMB Doc. #: 2-1 Filed: 04/04/13 Page: 23 of 54 PageID #: 91are affected by the force majeure event will be extended for such time as is necessary to complete those obligations. An extension of the time for performance of the obligations affected by the force majeure event shall not, of itself, extend the time for performance of any other obligation. The United States will notify the Defendants in writing of the length of the extension, if any, for performance of the obligations affected by the force majeure event. 65. If the United States does not agree that the delay or anticipated delay has been or will be caused by a force majeure event, or needs further information from Defendants regarding the asserted force majeure event to make a decision, it will notify the Defendants in writing of its decision. 66. If Defendants elect to invoke the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section XIII (Dispute Resolution), it shall do so no later than fifteen (15) days after receipt of the United States' notice pursuant to Paragraphs 64 or 65 above. In any such proceeding, the Defendants shall have the burden of demonstrating by a preponderance of the evidence that the delay or anticipated delay has been or will be caused by a force majeure event, that the duration of the delay or the extension sought was or will be warranted under the circumstances, that best efforts were exercised to avoid and mitigate the effects of the delay, and that the Defendants complied with the requirements of Paragraph 63, above. If the Defendants carry this burden, the delay at issue shall be deemed not to be a violation by the Defendants of the affected obligation of this Consent Decree identified to the United States and the Court, and the relevant deadline shall be extended for such time as is necessary to complete the obligations affected by the force majeure event. XIII. DISPUTE RESOLUTION 67. Unless otherwise expressly provided for in this Consent Decree, the dispute resolution procedures of this Section shall be the exclusive mechanism to resolve disputes arising

Defendants' failure to seek resolution of a dispute under this Section shall preclude it from raising any such issue as a defense to an action by the United States to enforce any obligation of Defendants arising under or with respect to this Decree. 68. The invocation of dispute resolution procedures under this Section shall not, by itself, extend, postpone, or affect in any way any obligation of the Defendants under this Consent Decree, unless the Court or the final resolution of the dispute so provides. Stipulated penalties with respect to the disputed matter shall continue to accrue from the first Day of noncompliance, until the Court issues a decision on the dispute in favor of the United States. Payment shall be stayed pending resolution of the dispute as provided in Paragraph 50. If Defendants do not prevail on the disputed issue, stipulated penalties shall be assessed and paid as provided in Section XI (Stipulated Penalties). 69. Informal Dispute Resolution. Any dispute subject to Dispute Resolution under this Consent Decree shall first be the subject of informal negotiations. The dispute shall be considered to have arisen when Defendants send the United States a written Notice of Dispute. Such Notice of Dispute shall state clearly the matter in dispute. The period of informal negotiations shall not exceed twenty (20) Days from the date the dispute arises, unless that period is modified by written agreement. If the Parties cannot resolve a dispute by informal negotiations, then the position advanced by the United States shall be considered binding unless, within ten (10) Days after the conclusion of the informal negotiation period, Defendants invoke formal dispute resolution procedures as set forth below. 70. Formal Dispute Resolution. Defendants shall invoke formal dispute resolution procedures, within the time period provided in the preceding Paragraph, by serving on the United

Defendants may seek judicial review of the dispute by filing with the Court and serving on the United States, in accordance with Section XVI (Notices) of this Decree, a motion requesting judicial resolution of the dispute. The motion must be filed within ten (10) Days of receipt of the United States' Statement of Position pursuant to the preceding Paragraph. The motion shall contain a written statement of Defendants' position on the matter in dispute, including any supporting factual data, analysis, opinion, or documentation, and shall set forth the relief requested and any schedule within which the dispute must be resolved for orderly implementation of the Consent Decree. 73. The United States shall respond to Defendants' motion within the time period allowed by the Local Rules of this Court. Defendants may file a reply memorandum, to the extent permitted by the Local Rules. 74. Standard of Review.

This Consent Decree is not a permit, or a modification of any permit, under any federal, state, or local laws or regulations.
