BEAUMONT, Texas — A Texas petrochemical company has pleaded guilty to a violation of the Clean Air Act and agreed to pay more than $30 million in connection with two explosions that injured workers and caused the evacuation of thousands, the U.S. Justice Department said Tuesday. The explosions at a TPC Group plant in the coastal city of Port Neches the day before Thanksgiving 2019 prompted the evacuation of more than 50,000 people from the area, about 100 miles from Houston.
“TPC Group sincerely regrets the damage and disruption caused by the November 2019 incident at our Port Neches facility,” the company said via a statement Tuesday. “Since the event, TPC Group has cooperated fully with all federal, state, and local investigations.” The company entered into a plea deal with the government on Monday and agreed to pay over $30 million in criminal fines and civil penalties.
