BP Amoco and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reached an agreement to resolve Clean Air Act violations at eight refineries owned by BP, Amoco and Arco (recently acquired by BP) around the country. The settlement required BP to pay a civil penalty $9.5 million to the federal government and $500,000 to the State of Indiana. BP also agreed to install new pollution control technologies designed to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide from refinery process units and to implement various other comprehensive anti-pollution programs and practices.
