U.S.C. 2702(a) and (b)(2)(A), and under
State law, against ExxonMobil Pipeline

destruction of, loss of, or loss of use of,
natural resources, resulting from the
March 29, 2013, discharge of oil from
the Pegasus Pipeline into the
environment in and around Mayflower,
Faulkner County, Arkansas, that
migrated to waters, wetlands, and
ultimately to Lake Conway. The spill
caused impacts to vegetation and

exposed to oil, and the loss of
recreational use of Lake Conway.
Federal and State natural resource
trustees assessed the injuries.
Plaintiffs and Defendants negotiated a
Consent Decree that resolves the claims
in the complaint. The proposed Consent
