Notice of Lodging of Proposed
Consent Decree Under the Clean Water
Act and the Oil Pollution Act
On July 20, 2016, the Department of
Justice lodged a proposed Consent
Decree with the United States District
Court for the Western District of
Michigan in the lawsuit entitled United
States v. Enbridge Energy, Limited
Partnership, et al., Civil Action No.
1:16–cv–914.
The Complaint in this action asserts
claims against Enbridge Energy, Limited
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:27 Jul 22, 2016
Jkt 238001
Partnership and eight related Enbridge
entities (‘‘Enbridge’’) arising from two
separate oil transmission pipeline
failures that resulted in discharges of oil
to waters of the United States and
adjoining shorelines. One of these
pipeline failures occurred on July 25,
2010, near Marshall, Michigan on a
pipeline known as Line 6B, and resulted
in discharges of oil to Talmadge Creek,
a large stretch the Kalamazoo River, and
their adjoining shorelines. The other
pipeline failure occurred on or about
September 9, 2010, in Romeoville,
Illinois on a pipeline known as Line 6A,
and resulted in discharges of oil
primarily to an unnamed tributary to the
Des Plaines River, a retention pond, and
their adjoining shorelines. The
Complaint seeks injunctive relief and
civil penalties under Sections 309 and
311 of the Clean Water Act, as amended,
33 U.S.C. 1319 and 1321, for both the
Marshall, Michigan and the Romeoville,
Illinois oil spills. In addition, under
Section 1002 of the Oil Pollution Act, as
amended, 33 U.S.C. 2702, the Complaint
seeks to recover from Enbridge all
unreimbursed removal costs incurred
and to be incurred by the United States
in connection with the Marshall,
Michigan oil spill.
Under the proposed Consent Decree,
Enbridge will pay a civil penalty of $61
million for the Marshall, Michigan oil
spill, and an additional $1 million for
the Romeoville, Illinois oil spill. In
addition, Enbridge will pay over $5.4
million in unreimbursed federal
removal costs that the Oil Spill Liability
Trust Fund (‘‘Fund’’) paid in connection
with the Marshall, Michigan oil spill
through October 1, 2015, and Enbridge
will pay all additional removal costs
consistent with the National
Contingency Plan that are paid by the
Fund after October 1, 2015, in
connection with the Marshall, Michigan
oil spill. Prior to the Consent Decree, the
United States billed Enbridge for
additional federal removal costs
incurred in connection with both the
Marshall, Michigan oil spill and the
Romeoville, Illinois oil spill, and
Enbridge paid all such amounts billed.
Finally, the proposed Consent Decree
includes an extensive program of
injunctive relief, including a series of
measures designed to (1) reduce the
potential for future pipeline failures that
could result in unlawful discharges
from Enbridge’s Lakehead System
pipelines, (2) improve leak detection
capabilities and Enbridge’s response to
situations that could indicate potential
pipeline failures, and (3) improve
Enbridge’s emergency response and
preparedness capabilities to better
