ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
ExxonMobil has elected to use a $1 million threshold for disclosing environmental proceedings.
As reported in the Corporation’s Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2024, XTO Energy, Inc. (XTO) received a Notice of Violation from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on March 9, 2022 regarding certain well pad production facility sites in Butler County, Pennsylvania, alleging violations of certain federal New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) and Pennsylvania’s Title V operating permit regulations. In October 2024, XTO entered into a consent decree to resolve these alleged violations upon payment of a $4.0 million penalty. On October 24, 2024, the Department of Justice (DOJ) filed the consent decree with the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, which was published in the Federal Register on October 30, 2024, and will be open to public comment for 30 days before the District Court may approve it.
