DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the Clean Air
Act
Notice is hereby given that, for a period of 30 days, the United
States will receive public comments on a proposed Consent Decree in
United States v. Delek Refining, Ltd. (Civil Action No. 6:14-cv-0783),
which was lodged with the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Texas on September 29, 2014.
The Complaint in this Clean Air Act case was filed against Delek
Refining, Ltd. (``Delek'') concurrently with the lodging of the
proposed Consent Decree. This is a civil action brought pursuant to
Section 113(b)(2) of the Clean Air Act (``CAA''), 42 U.S.C. 7413(b)(2),
against Delek for alleged violations of Sections 112(r)(1) and
112(r)(7)(E) of the CAA, 42 U.S.C. 7412(r)(1) and 7412(r)(7)(E), and
the Chemical Accident Prevention Provisions promulgated at 40 CFR Part
68 (the ``Risk Management Program'' regulations) at Delek's petroleum
refinery located at 1702 East Commerce Street in Tyler, Texas
(``Refinery''). Delek's alleged violations relate to acts and omissions
leading up to and following a pipe rupture and fire that occurred at
the Refinery on November 20, 2008. Pursuant to Section 113(b)(2) of the
CAA, 42 U.S.C. 7413(b)(2), the United States seeks the assessment of
civil penalties and injunctive relief based on Delek's violations of
Section 112(r) of the Act and the Risk Management Program regulations.
The Consent Decree proposes to resolve the civil action by requiring
Delek to perform corrective measures and pay a penalty of $475,000.
The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on
the proposed Consent Decree. Comments should be addressed to the
