Biofriendly Corporation Clean Air Act Settlement

(Washington, D.C. - Nov. 3, 2008) Biofriendly Corp., incorporated in Nevada with principal offices in Covina, Calif., has agreed to pay EPA $1.25 million for manufacturing and selling an unregistered fuel additive in Texas and California.

"The fuel additive requirements of the Clean Air Act are a critical part of EPA's program to reduce air pollution," said Granta Nakayama, assistant administrator for EPA's Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance.  "This is the largest penalty ever levied for violation of the Clean Air Act's registration requirements for fuels and fuel additives."

Biofriendly sold "Green Plus," an unregistered fuel additive it claimed reduced emissions in diesel fuel, between Sept. 2002 and May 2006.  When Biofriendly discovered it was in violation, it stopped selling Green Plus domestically.
