ExxonMobil penalty remanded for review by Fifth Circuit
The Fifth Circuit sent a $20 million penalty ruling back to the lower court for reconsideration in the Baytown environmental case against ExxonMobil. Environment Texas and the Sierra Club allege repeated Clean Air Act violations at Exxon’s Baytown complex, with 16,386 days of violation cited. The court upheld standing and that violations were traceable, but asked review of which zero emissions incidents are significant and whether Hurricane Ike events fall under Act-of-God.
