Item 103 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires disclosure of certain legal proceedings that involve governmental authorities as a party and that the company reasonably believes would result in $1.0 million or more of monetary sanctions, exclusive of interest and costs, under federal, state and local laws that have been enacted or adopted regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or primarily for the purpose of protecting the environment. The following proceedings include those matters relating to second quarter 2026 and any material developments with respect to matters previously reported in Chevron’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
As previously disclosed, on May 26, 2023, Chevron’s refinery in El Segundo, California notified the U.S. EPA that it had inadvertently overstated the number of biofuel credits generated by co-processing in 2022 in violation of the Renewable Fuel Standard program. Resolution of the alleged violations resulted in the payment of a civil penalty of $1,072,634 in April 2026.
As previously disclosed, on July 22, 2025, the Colorado Energy & Carbon Management Commission (ECMC) issued a notice alleging various violations of reporting rules associated with environmental remediation data. On June 24, 2026, ECMC approved an Administrative Order by Consent (AOC) that will resolve the matter. Pursuant to the AOC, a total civil penalty of $6,416,735 was assessed. Chevron paid $400,000 of the assessed penalty in July 2026. In satisfaction of $1,204,184 of the assessed penalty, Chevron must pay $783,003 to fund public projects designated by ECMC on or before June 24, 2027. The remaining penalty amount of $4,812,551 will be suspended and reduced by 25% for each year that Chevron completes certain actions during a four-year compliance period.
