Item 3. Legal Proceedings, continued
Gibson City, Illinois
The EPA has alleged that The Solae Company violated the CAA’s New Source Review Regulations and certain
Prevention of Significant Deterioration requirements at its plant in Gibson City, Illinois. The Solae Company,
a majority-owned venture with Bunge Limited, was formed in 2003. The EPA has proposed a settlement of
this matter that would include sites located in Indiana, Ohio, Oklahoma and Tennessee, some of which are
wholly owned by DuPont, in addition to the Gibson City site. The EPA’s proposed settlement includes a
penalty of $350,000 and Supplemental Environmental Projects involving expenditures of at least $500,000.
The company and The Solae Company are negotiating with the EPA and U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ).
