Navajo Refining Company, L.P. and Montana Refining Company Civil Judicial Refinery Settlement

The settlement announced on December 20, 2001 commits three refining properties owned by Navajo Refining Company, L.P. And Montana Refining Company ("The Companies") to an ambitious program to assure compliance with major provisions of the Clean Air Act. The Companies expect to spend more than $15 million over eight years to reduce emissions by an estimated 2,800 tons per year. This is the sixth settlement in a federal compliance strategy for achieving cooperative across-the-board compliance with U.S. refining companies. Last year the federal government reached similar and record settlements with BP, Koch Petroleum Group, Marathon Ashland Petroleum, Motiva, Equilon and Shell Deer Park. When combined with the Conoco settlement announced December 18th, 2001, over 30 percent of total U.S. refining capacity will be covered by consent decree.The proposed consent decree is subject to a 30-day public comment period.
