Antero Resources reached a settlement with the Justice Department and West Virginia's Department of Environmental Protection to resolve alleged violations of air pollution control laws.

Antero agreed to pay a $3.8 million civil penalty to resolve alleged Clean Air Act and West Virginia Air Pollution Control offenses involving the company's oil and gas production operations in West Virginia and Ohio, the Justice Department said Friday.

The penalty will be divided between the U.S. and West Virginia, a co-plaintiff in the case.

Antero will also commit to various projects to assess, modify and improve monitoring and maintenance of vapor control systems at 242 of its oil and gas production facilities in West Virginia and Ohio.

These compliance projects are estimated to cost approximately $5.8 million, and will reduce volatile organic compounds emissions by more than 1,100 tons annually, the department said.
