Notice of Lodging of Proposed
Consent Decree Under the Clean Water
Act
Notice is hereby given that, for a
period of 30 days, the United States will
receive public comments on a proposed
Consent Decree in United States v. TriMarine Management Co. LLC, et al.
(Civil Action No. 1:15–cv–0454), which
was lodged with the United States
District Court for the District of Hawaii
on October 28, 2015.
The Complaint in this Clean Water
Act case was filed against Tri-Marine
Management Co., LLC, Tri-Marine
Fishing Management LLC, and Cape
Mendocino Fishing LP (collectively,
‘‘Tri-Marine’’) concurrently with the
lodging of the proposed Consent Decree.
The Complaint alleges that Tri-Marine is
civilly liable for violations of Section
311 of the Clean Water Act (‘‘CWA’’), 33
U.S.C. 1321. The Complaint seeks civil
penalties and injunctive relief for the
discharge of harmful quantities of
marine diesel fuel oil into navigable
waters of the United States from TriMarine’s commercial tuna fishing
vessel, the Capt. Vincent Gann, into
Pago Pago Harbor in American Samoa as
well as related violations of the Coast
Guard’s spill prevention regulations
issued under the Clean Water Act. The
Complaint alleges the hull of the Capt.
Vincent Gann was breached during a
crash in October 2014 and at least 35

barrels of marine fuel oil that was
illegally stored in the bulbous bow of
the vessel flowed into the water. The
Complaint further alleges the illegal oil
storage was done to extend the duration
of the fishing voyage and allow storage
of a larger catch of fish. The extra fuel
oil had been stored in two of the fish
holds, but the oil was transferred out of
the fish holds to the bulbous bow to
make room for storage of tuna in those
fish holds. The Complaint further
alleges the vessel was equipped with
unlawful piping configurations that tied
the bilge water system into the fuel
system and that the extra fuel originally
was loaded into the vessel using an
unauthorized method of pumping fuel
oil with hoses over the top of the deck
into open fish holds.
Under the proposed Consent Decree,
Tri-Marine will pay a civil penalty of
$1,050,000 for the alleged violations. In
addition to payment of the civil
penalties, the Consent Decree requires
Tri-Marine to perform inspections and
corrective measures across its entire
fleet of ten American Samoa-based
vessels, including review and overhaul
of all of the vessels’ oil handling
practices, operator certifications,
independent audits, increased reporting,
and the engagement of a full-time
consultant or in-house personnel
focused on environmental and maritime
compliance.
The publication of this notice opens
a period for public comment on the
proposed Consent Decree. Comments
should be addressed to the Assistant
Attorney General, Environment and
Natural Resources Division, and should
refer to United States v. Tri-Marine
Management Co. LLC, D.J. Ref. No. 90–
5–1–1–11245. All comments must be
