Legal Proceedings | Note 23. Legal Proceedings General Although the Partnership may, from time to time, be involved in litigation and claims arising out of its operations in the normal course of business, the Partnership does not believe that it is a party to any litigation that will have a material adverse impact on its financial condition or results of operations. Except as described below and in Note 15 included herein, the Partnership is not aware of any significant legal or governmental proceedings against it or contemplated to be brought against it. The Partnership maintains insurance policies with insurers in amounts and with coverage and deductibles as its general partner believes are reasonable and prudent. However, the Partnership can provide no assurance that this insurance will be adequate to protect it from all material expenses related to potential future claims or that these levels of insurance will be available in the future at economically acceptable prices. Other In December 2024, the Conservation Law Foundation (“CLF”) served the Partnership with a complaint alleging that past and present discharges at and from the Partnership’s terminal located on Broadway Street in Chelsea, MA and the Partnership’s former terminal located in Revere, MA exceeded the numeric effluent limits permitted under the terminals’ respective National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (“NPDES”) permits. The complaint was filed by the CLF in July 2024. In August 2024, a month after the CLF filed its complaint, the EPA and the Partnership executed an administrative order on consent to address the exceedances at both terminals under each terminal’s respective NPDES permit. The issuance of the administrative order on consent by the EPA may significantly lessen, if not eliminate entirely, the ability for the CLF to seek and recover relief through its complaint against the Partnership. The Partnership believes it has meritorious defenses and intends to vigorously contest the allegations raised in the complaint. The Partnership received letters from the EPA dated November 2, 2011 and March 29, 2012, containing requirements and testing orders (collectively, the “Requests for Information”) for information under the Clean Air Act (“CAA”). The Requests for Information were part of an EPA investigation to determine whether the Partnership has violated sections of the CAA at certain of its terminal locations in New England with respect to residual oil and asphalt. On June 6, 2014, a Notice of Violation was received from the EPA, alleging certain violations of its Air Emissions License issued by the Maine Department of Environmental Protection, based upon the test results at the South Portland, Maine terminal. The Partnership met with and provided additional information to the EPA with respect to the alleged violations. On April 7, 2015, the EPA issued a Supplemental Notice of Violation modifying the allegations of violations of the terminal’s Air Emissions License. The Partnership has entered into a consent decree (the “Consent Decree”) with the EPA and the United States Department of Justice (the “Department of Justice”), which was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maine (the “Court”) on March 25, 2019. The Consent Decree was entered by the Court on December 19, 2019. The Partnership believes that compliance with the Consent Decree and implementation of the requirements of the Consent Decree will have no material impact on its operations.
