DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree 

Under the Clean Air Act 

Notice is hereby given that on 

September 28, 2007, a proposed Consent 

Decree between the United States, the 

Alabama Department of Environmental 

Management, the Mississippi 

Commission on Environmental Quality, 

Hunt Refining Company and Hunt 

Southland Refining Company

the United States District Court for the 

Northern District of Alabama in the case 

of United States et al. v. Hunt Refining 

Company et al., Civil Action No. CV–

07–P–1777–W. 

In a complaint that was filed 

simultaneously with the Consent 

Decree, the United States sought a civil 

penalty and injunctive relief against 

Hunt for alleged violations of the Clean 

Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq., and its 

implementing regulations, in 

connection with Hunt’s petroleum 

refineries located in Tuscaloosa, 

Alabama; and Sandersville and 

Lumberton, Mississippi. 

The Consent Decree requires Hunt to 

implement pollution control 

technologies to significantly reduce 

emissions of nitrogen oxides (‘‘NO2’’) 

and sulfur dioxide (‘‘SO2’’) from refinery 

process units, reduce the flaring of 

process upset gasses, improve leak 

detection and repair procedures, and 

improve the management of benzene 

wastewater streams. Hunt has estimated 

that this injunctive relief will cost the 

company approximately $48,500,000. 

Hunt will pay a civil penalty of 

$400,000, which the States of Alabama 

and Mississippi will share, and spend 

more than $475,000 on supplemental 

environmental projects to benefit the 

community and environment. Hunt has 

agred to upgrade controls to reduce 

volatile organic compound emissions 

from the wastewater systems at the 

Tuscaloosa refinery and will buy

County, Alabama; and Vicksburg, 

Mississippi. The States of Alabama and
