Total Petrochemical has been fined $8.75 million for violating a 2007 air pollution settlement with the federal government, reports Fuel Fix, citing the Justice Department.
At the heart of the violation is the number of flaring incidents at Total’s Port Arthur refinery, how it reported them, and whether it was in accordance with a 2007 settlement in which the company had agreed to reduce its emissions, reports Emily Pickrell of Fuel Fix.
