WASHINGTON — Shell Oil Co. will pay a $75,000 fine and retire two storage tanks at a cost of more than $1 million to settle charges that it violated the Clean Air Act.
The Environmental Protection Agency announced Wednesday the settlement with Shell subsidiary Motiva Enterprises LLC.
The two storage tanks were improperly maintained and leaked gasoline vapors, the agency alleged. The tanks are in a gasoline terminal owned by Motiva where gas is loaded onto tanker trucks, the agency said. The terminal is in Bridgeport, Conn.
The settlement requires Motiva to retire the tanks and replace them with new, larger capacity tanks by the end of this year, the EPA said.
The gasoline vapors contribute to ground-level ozone and smog, the EPA said. Ground-level ozone can aggravate asthma and damage lung cells.
Shell Oil is a subsidiary of Netherlands-based Royal Dutch Shell. Royal Dutch Shell’s shares rose 71 cents to $68.77 in afternoon trading.

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.
