DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Notice of Lodging of Proposed 

Consent Decree Under the Clean Water 

Act 

On September 7, 2018, the 

Department of Justice lodged a proposed 

partial consent decree with the United 

States District Court for the District of 

Hawaii in United States of America v. 

Azure Fishery LLC et al., Civil Action 

No. 1:18–cv–00339. 

The complaint in this Clean Water 

Act (‘‘CWA’’) case was filed against the 

defendants on the same day as the 

lodging of the consent decree. The 

complaint alleges claims against the 

Hawaii-based longline fishing 

companies Azure Fishery LLC and Linh 

Fishery LLC and individuals Hanh 

Nguyen, Khang Dang, Andy Hoang, and 

Tuan Hoang. The complaint addresses 

illegal discharges of oil from the 

commercial longline fishing vessel 

Jaxon T, now known as the St. Joseph, 

as well as related violations of the Coast 

Guard’s pollution control regulations, 

including failure to provide sufficient 

capacity to retain oily bilge waste on 

board the vessel. The complaint alleges 

that Azure Fishery LLC, company 

members and managers Hanh Nguyen 

and Khang Dang, and vessel operator 

Andy Hoang are each liable for civil 

penalties stemming from violations of 

the CWA, 33 U.S.C. 1321. The United 

States seeks injunctive relief from these 

same defendants and Linh Fishery LLC, 

which is the current owner of the vessel. 

The complaint also includes a claim 

under the Federal Debt Collection 

Procedures Act, 28 U.S.C. 3001 et seq., 

against Linh Fishery LLC, Hanh 

Nguyen, Khang Dang, and Tuan Hoang 

concerning the fraudulent conveyance 

of the Jaxon T after the Coast Guard 

discovered the violations. 

Under the proposed partial consent 

decree, defendants Nguyen and Dang 

will pay a total of $475,000. Under the 

terms of the CWA, the penalties paid for 

these violations will be deposited in the 

federal Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund 

managed by the National Pollution 

Funds Center. In addition, the settling 

defendants will perform corrective 

measures to remedy the violations and 

prevent future violations in their fleet of 

twenty-five longline fishing vessels. 

Required actions include: (1) Making 

repairs to vessels to reduce the quantity 

of oily waste generated during fishing 

voyages; (2) providing crewmembers 

with training on the proper handling of 

oily wastes; (3) documenting proper oily 

waste management and disposal after 

returning to port; and (4) submitting 

compliance reports to the Coast Guard 

and to the Department of Justice.

a period for public comment on the 

proposed consent decree. Comments

Attorney General, Environment and
