Shell Chemical will pay a $1 million fine and invest $5.5 million in projects to improve the environment as part of a settlement with the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality the agency announced Wednesday.
The settlement stems from a variety of violations between 1999 and 2004 and includes Shell Chemical sites in St. Charles and Ascension parishes.
The environmental projects consist of:
Installing a flare reduction-flare improvement system.
Donating to the DEQ hurricane/storm cleanup and recovery fund.
Donating to an air-quality study.
Donating to the St. Charles Parish school system for improvement in emergency response.
Donating to the St. Charles Parish Emergency Operation Center to pay for equipment.
The $1 million penalty will be paid into the state’s hazardous waste cleanup fund.
“This is an important settlement, not just because both parties have addressed past violations, but because we have also agreed to address the needs of the future,” DEQ Assistant Secretary Harold Leggett said.
“With the addition of internal audits and installation of new equipment, the Shell Chemical sites involved in this agreement will, if they have not already, see a decrease in emissions and permit violations,” Leggett said.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
