Motiva to pay fine in refinery settlement
Motiva Enterprises LLC will pay a $500,000 fine to settle environmental violations at the company’s Norco and Convent refineries, according to a preliminary agreement with the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality.
The settlement includes a 45-day comment period, according to a DEQ letter to Motiva dated Oct. 3.
Motiva has until Nov. 2 to send the payment to DEQ.
The settlement stems from hundreds of violations from 2003 to 2010, according to DEQ.
Motiva admitted no wrongdoing.
The Louisiana Bucket Brigade, an environmental watchdog group, criticized the deal, saying the fine should have been much larger and that DEQ did not make the agreement public.
