With 635 of tons of toxic air releases, Marathon Oil company is among top 100 corporate air polluters in the United States. This rank is also supported by numerous pollution violations recorded in different areas of the United States. In 2000, the Kentucky Natural Resources and Environmental Cabinet demanded that Marathon pay a $170,000 penalty for a pipeline spill earlier that year. This case was settled in 2002. That same year Texas sent a “Notice of Enforcement” citing Marathon for “excess air emissions” from its Yates Gas Plant. Marathon was prosecuted for air permit violations in 2003 by Louisiana. The Environmental Protection Agency then prosecuted Marathon for not following a pollution prevention plan as well as not complying with the stormwater permit. In November of 2006 Environmental Protection Agency has published the list of PCB violations by Marathon Oil company for sum of $38,000.
