This case addresses violations of the Clean Air Act by Atlantic Trading and Marketing, Inc. ( ATMI ), a Houston-based company that engages in trading and shipping of crude oil and refined products. During 2011, 2012 and 2013 ATMI produced over 15 million gallons of gasoline which failed to comply with fuels regulations under the CAA by either exceeding the maximum average benzene standard, exceeding the per-gallon volatility standard or the VOC emissions performance reduction standard.
As part of the settlement with EPA, ATMI paid a $1,280,000 civil penalty to the US Treasury.
