Tesoro will also pay a $10.45 million civil penalty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u201cThis settlement, achieved in partnership with states, will benefit the air quality in communities across the Western United States,\u201d said Assistant Attorney General John C. Cruden for the Justice Department\u2019s Environment and Natural Resources Division.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Adding, \u201cIt uses cutting edge technology to address global environmental issues like climate change by controlling flaring and provides important reductions of harmful air pollution in communities facing environmental and health challenges.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u201cThe advanced technologies Tesoro and Par are required to implement are the future for protecting people from toxic air emissions,\u201d said Assistant Administrator Cynthia Giles for EPA\u2019s Enforcement and Compliance Assurance. \u00a0\u201cThis settlement puts new enforcement ideas to work that will dramatically cut pollution and protect communities.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Monday&#8217;s settlement, a consent decree lodged in federal court, includes provisions that resolves ongoing Clean Air Act violations at refineries in Kenai, Alaska; Martinez, California; Kapolei, Hawaii; Mandan, North Dakota; Salt Lake City, Utah; and Anacortes, Washington.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Of the $10.45 million civil penalty that Tesoro will pay, the federal government will receive $8 million and co-plaintiffs including the states of Alaska and Hawaii, and the Northwest Clean Air Agency will share $2.4 million.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Tons of Air Pollution Emissions Reduced<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Once the companies install the pollution controls required by the settlement, annual emissions reductions at the six refineries will total an estimated 773 tons of sulfur dioxide, 407 tons of nitrogen oxides, 1,140 tons of volatile organic compounds, 27 tons of hazardous air pollutants, 20 tons of hydrogen sulfide and the equivalent of 47,034 tons of carbon dioxide, which is a greenhouse gas. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">A large number of the emissions reductions will occur in areas with impaired air quality and protect populations at risk for respiratory illnesses.\u00a0 In particular, this settlement will reduce greenhouse gas emissions from flaring at the subject refineries by over 60 percent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Refineries process crude oil into products like gasoline, diesel fuel, kerosene, jet fuel, asphalt and liquefied petroleum gas and emit pollutants from a number of different sources. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">At the refineries subject to this settlement, fluid catalytic cracking units, sulfuric acid plants, heaters, boilers and sulfur recovery units, are substantial emitters of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sulfur dioxide (SO2). \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Flaring results in emissions of SO2, greenhouse gases and toxic air pollutants, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and hazardous air pollutants. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Fugitive emissions of VOCs result from leaking valves and pumps and can result in numerous health effects, including eye, nose and throat irritation, headaches, loss of coordination, nausea and damage to liver, kidney and the central nervous system, among other effects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Leaks, flares, and excess emissions from refineries emit hazardous air pollutants, or air toxics, that are known or suspected to cause cancer, birth defects, and seriously impact the environment. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">SO2 and NOx have numerous adverse effects on human health and are significant contributors to acid rain, smog and haze. \u00a0Refineries also emit greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change, as well as fugitive VOCs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The settlement incorporates the latest technological approaches to reducing flaring and making the flaring that does occur as efficient as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>State-of-the Art Equipment to be Installed<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">And in addition to installing pollution control equipment, the settlement requires Tesoro to use a series of state-of-the-art Next Generation Compliance tools to monitor pollution. \u00a0Tesoro will use infrared gas-imaging cameras at four refineries to supplement the company\u2019s enhanced leak detection and repair program. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">These cameras are able to locate fugitive VOC emissions that may not be otherwise detected and to address these fugitive emissions and in doing so protect refinery employees from them. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Tesoro will also pay for third-party auditing of compliance with the enhanced leak detection and repair requirements at all six facilities. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">EPA\u2019s Next Generation Compliance strategy works to advance the use of state-of-the-art technology to identify and reduce pollution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Under the settlement, Tesoro will also spend about $12.2 million to fund three pollution mitigation projects. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0In addition to installing infrared cameras, Tesoro will install ultra-low NOx burners on a furnace at its Salt Lake City refinery. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Tesoro estimates that the cost of this mitigation project is $10.8 million and is expected to result in significant quantifiable reductions in NOX emissions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Replacement of Old Diesel School Buses<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Tesoro will also contribute $1 million to fund the replacement of old diesel school buses in Contra Costa County, California, with new compressed natural gas (CNG) school buses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Replacing existing school buses that run on diesel with vehicles that are powered by CNG decreases emissions of NOX, SO2, PM, greenhouse gases and other air pollutants.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The total combined SO2 and NOx emission reductions secured from all settlements under this initiative will exceed 2 million tons each year once all the required pollution controls have been installed and implemented.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Tesoro Corp., is headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, and its subsidiaries, Tesoro Alaska Company LLC, Tesoro Logistics L.P. and Tesoro Refining &amp; Marketing Company LLC operate five of the refineries covered by this settlement. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span
