DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging Fifth Amendment To Consent Decree Pursuant to
the Clean Air Act
In accordance with 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby given that on
April 16, 2012, a proposed consent decree amendment in United States v.
Sinclair Wyoming Refining Co., et al., Case No. 08-cv-020-WFD, was
lodged with the United States District Court for the District of
Wyoming.
The proposed Fifth Amendment To Consent Decree would resolve the
United States' claims against Sinclair Wyoming Refining Company
(``SWRC'') under the original consent decree and Section 113(b) of the
Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7413(b), that resulted from the January 22,
2011 fire at SWRC's refinery in Sinclair, Wyoming, that damaged the
facility's electrostatic precipitator (an emissions control device).
Under the terms of the Fifth Amendment To Consent Decree, the SWRC will
take action to obtain additional emissions reductions at SWRC's
refinery in Sinclair, Wyoming, that will more than offset the emissions
that resulted from the fire.
The Department of Justice will receive comments relating to the
proposed consent decree amendment for a period of thirty (30) days from
the date of this publication. Comments should be addressed to the
Assistant Attorney General for the Environment and Natural Resources
Division, Department of Justice, Washington, DC 20530, and should refer
to United States v. Sinclair Wyoming Refining Co., et al., Case No. 08-
cv-020-WFD, and Department of Justice Reference No. 90-5-2-1-07793.
During the public comment period, the consent decree amendment may
be examined on the following Department of Justice Web site, http://www.usdoj.gov/enrd/Consent_Decrees.html. A copy of the consent decree
