Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree
Under the Clean Water Act
Notice is hereby given that on
December 31, 2008, a proposed consent
decree (the ‘‘Decree’’) in United States
and State of Oregon v. Pacific Northern
Environmental Corp., dba Dedicated
Fuels, Inc., Civil Action No. 3:08–cv–
01513–HU, was lodged with the United
States District Court for the District of
Oregon.
In this action the United States and
State of Oregon sought civil penalties
for Pacific Northern Environmental
Corp.’s (‘‘PNE’’) violation of the Clean
Water Act’s spill prohibition. PNE owns
and operates a heating oil business
located in North Bend, Oregon, as well
as several gas stations in the area. On
July 8, 2006, a tanker truck owned and
operated by Dedicated carrying several
hundred barrels of diesel fuel
overturned while traveling on Highway
38, near Milepost 17, just east of
Scottsburg, Oregon. Approximately 197
barrels of diesel fuel spilled. Diesel fuel
that did not ignite in the ensuing fire
migrated to the Umpqua River. PNE’s
discharge to the Umpqua River violated
the Clean Water Act and Oregon law.
Under the consent decree, PNE will pay
the United States and the State of
Oregon civil penalties of $74,272 and
$20,000, respectively. Additionally,
PNE agrees to perform a supplemental
environmental project (‘‘SEP’’), the cost
of which shall be not less than $47,640.
The Department of Justice will receive
for a period of thirty (30) days from the
date of this publication comments
relating to the consent decree.
Comments should be addressed to the
Assistant Attorney General,
Environment and Natural Resources
Division, and either e-mailed to
