Shell will pay a civil penalty of $4.9 million and spend an additional $5 million on local environmental projects after exceeding emission limitations at its Beaver County facility. The plant is set to resume operations starting Wednesday. Western Pennsylvania will directly receive $6.2 million for projects to benefit the environment, health, and quality of life of the community near the facility because of the agreement. Shell will also pay additional monthly civil penalties for the rest of 2023 for any further exceedances.
