natural resource trustees, the

Department of the Interior and the

Notice of Lodging of Consent Decrees

Pursuant to the Clean Air Act

In accordance with Departmental

policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby

given that a consent decree was lodged

in U.S. versus Ultramar Inc., Civil

Action No. CV 96–3983–GHK (ASWx)

(C.D. Cal.), on June 5, 1996, with the

United States District Court for the

Central District of California. The case is

a civil action under Section 113(b) of

the Clean Air Act (‘‘Act’’), 42 U.S.C.

7413(b), for violations of provisions of

the act and of the regulations for New

Source Performance Standards

(‘‘NSPS’’) in subpart Ka of Part 60 of 40

C.F.R. that require all openings in the

roofs of petroleum storage tanks that are

subject to the regulations to be sealed or

covered.

The violations of the NSPS

regulations involved Ultramar Inc.’s

(‘‘Ultramar’s’’) Wilmington Refinery,

which is located in Wilmington,

California, Los Angeles County,

California. A petroleum storage tank at

this facility has a ‘‘guidepole’’ that

passes through the roof of the storage

tank. The complaint alleges that the

defendant’s use of a ‘‘drilled’’

guidepole—a guidepole perforated by a

series of holes along the length of the

pole—violates NSPS that require all

openings in the roofs of petroleum

storage tanks to be sealed or covered.

The complaint seeks injunctive relief

to ensure future compliance with the

NSPS regulations. Under the consent

decree, Ultramar will retrofit the tank

with agreed upon emission control

equipment. After retrofitting the tank,

the defendant is required to operate the

emissions control equipment specified

by its consent decrees in compliance

with the Clean Air Act and its consent

decree.

The Department of Justice will

receive, for a period of thirty (30) days

from the date of this publication,

comments relating to the proposed

consent decree. Comments should be

given that a consent decree was lodged

California, Civil Action No. CV 96–

3980–WMB (RMCx) (C.D. Cal.), on June

5, 1996, with the United States District

Court for the Central District of

suparts Ka and Kb of Part 60 of 40 C.F.R.

that require all openings in the roofs of

petroleum storage tanks that are subject

regulations involved Union Oil

Company of California’s (Unocal’s) Los

Angeles Refinery, located in Los

Angeles County, California, and

Unocal’s Santa Maria Refinery, located

these facilities have ‘‘guidepoles’’ that
