DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the Clean Air
Act
On May 21, 2013, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed
consent decree with the United States District Court for the District
of Kansas in the lawsuit entitled United States v. Coffeyville
Resources Refining & Marketing L.L.C., Civil Action No. 11-CV-1291-JTM-
JPO.
The United States of America, on behalf of the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) filed a Complaint in this action
asserting the claims against Defendant Coffeyville Resources Refining &
Marketing, LLC (``CRRM'') for penalties and injunctive relief under
Section 112(r)(7) of the Clean Air Act (``CAA''), 42 U.S.C. 7412(r)(7).
Specifically, the Complaint asserts that CRRM violated various Risk
Management Program (RMP) regulations promulgated under Section 112(r)
of the CAA at its petroleum refinery located in Coffeyville, Kansas.
The RMP regulations require stationary sources using threshold amounts
of regulated substances to undertake specified steps to prevent
accidental releases and minimize the consequences of releases that do
occur.
Under the proposed Consent Decree, CRRM will pay a penalty of
$300,000 and correct all of the RMP violations alleged in the
Complaint. In addition, it will retain independent third party experts
to conduct three different and extensive audits of RMP components.
