The Environmental Protection Agency today reached an agreement with a Lake Charles refinery to reduce its pollution emissions. The EPA had filed a lawsuit against Calcasieu Refining Co. for alleged violations of the Clean Air Act.
Under terms of the settlement agreement, Calicasieu has agreed to pay $612,500 in fines. The refinery, which is owned by Transworld Oil U.S.A. Inc. of Houston, will also reduce its nitrogen oxide emissions and monitor benzene waste.
