The Complaint alleges that the defendants, New Bedford, Massachusetts-based Vila Nova do Corvo II, Inc., company managers Carlos Rafael and Stephanie Rafael DeMello, and vessel captain Carlos Pereira, are civilly liable for violations of Section 311 of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1321. The Complaint alleges that the company and individuals are liable for violations related to the commercial fishing vessel Vila Nova do Corvo II’s operations in coastal waters off of southeastern New England. The Complaint addresses discharges of oily bilge waste and used oil filters from the vessel while at sea harvesting scallops. The Complaint also includes Clean Water Act claims for violations of the Coast Guard’s pollution control regulations related to the defendants’ operation of the vessel. The violations were discovered by the Coast Guard during boarding operations. Under the proposed Consent Decree, the defendants will pay a total of $511,000 as civil penalties and perform corrective and compliance assurance measures. The defendants will be required, among other things, to repair the vessel to reduce the generation of oily bilge water, operate within the vessel’s capacity to retain oily bilge for the full length of planned voyages, provide crew and management training on the proper handling of oily wastes, document all oil and oily waste transfers on and off of the vessel, including documenting proper disposal of engine room bilge water at a shore reception facility, and submit compliance reports. The penalties paid in this case will be deposited in the federal Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund managed by the National Pollution Funds Center.
