 Department of Justice
 On October 24, 2024, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania in the lawsuit entitled 
                    *United States and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania*
                     v. 
                    *XTO Energy Inc.,*
                     Civil Action No. 2:24-cv-01467-RJC. The lawsuit seeks injunctive relief and civil penalties for violations of the Clean Air Act and the Standards of Performance for Crude Oil and Natural Gas Facilities at well pads owned and operated by XTO Energy Inc. (“XTO”) in Butler County, Pennsylvania. The violations relate to alleged failures to adequately design, operate, and maintain storage tank vapor control systems, resulting in emissions of volatile organic compounds (“VOC”) and other pollutants to the atmosphere. The proposed consent decree covers 30 XTO well pads in Butler County, Pennsylvania. The proposed decree requires XTO to perform injunctive relief, including conducting engineering evaluations of the vapor control systems at each of the controlled well pads to ensure that they are adequately sized and designed. XTO must also complete one environmental mitigation project, at a cost of at least $1,400,000, and pay a $4,000,000 civil penalty. Entering into and fully complying with the proposed consent decree would release XTO from past civil liability for violations of Title V and the New Source Performance Standards applicable to new and
