PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The information below describes new proceedings or material developments in proceedings that we previously reported in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Environmental Enforcement Matters
While it is not possible to predict the outcome of the following environmental proceeding, if it was decided against us, we believe that there would be no material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity. We are reporting this proceeding to comply with SEC regulations, which require us to disclose certain information about proceedings arising under U.S. federal, state, or local provisions regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or protecting the environment if we reasonably believe that such proceedings have the potential to result in monetary sanctions of $300,000 or more.
Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) (Benicia Refinery). Between May 2017 and June 2019, our Benicia Refinery received several Violation Notices (VNs) from the BAAQMD for excess emissions, which all resulted from the 2017 third-party induced power outage at the refinery. We aggregated such VNs and resolved them with the BAAQMD during the first quarter of 2022.
