BILLING CODE P 

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Notice of Lodging of Proposed 

Consent Decree Under the Clean Water 

Act 

On January 29 and 30, 2024, the 

Department of Justice filed a Complaint 

under the Clean Water Act and lodged 

a proposed Consent Decree with the 

United States District Court for the 

Western District of Oklahoma in the 

lawsuit entitled United States of 

America v. Holly Energy PartnersOperating, L.P., et al., Civil Action No. 

5:24–cv–00107. 

The Complaint alleges that the 

defendants, Dallas, Texas-based Holly 

Energy Partners-Operating, L.P., and 

Osage Pipe Line Company LLC, are 

civilly liable for violations of section 

309 and 311 of the Clean Water Act, 33 

U.S.C. 1319, 1321. The Complaint 

addresses the discharge of about 

300,000 gallons of crude oil from the 

Osage pipeline into Skull Creek near 

Cushing, Oklahoma, on July 8, 2022. 

Osage Pipe Line Company owns the 

135-mile-long, 20-inch-diameter 

pipeline that transports crude oil from 

a tank farm in Cushing, Oklahoma, to 

the HollyFrontier refinery in El Dorado, 

Kansas. Holly Energy PartnersOperating is the operator of the 

pipeline. 

The Complaint alleges the spill 

occurred when a segment of the 

pipeline ruptured adjacent to Skull 

Creek about five miles north of Cushing. 

From the point of the discharge, Skull 

Creek flows about three more miles 

before entering the Cimarron River. The 

pipeline was operating at the time of the 

rupture and discharged about 300,000 

gallons (7,110 barrels) of crude oil into 

the creek. The land where the rupture 

occurred, and the adjacent downstream 

parcel that the creek runs through, are 

both allotment lands owned by 

members of the Sac and Fox Nation. 

Under the proposed Consent Decree, 

the companies will pay $7.4 million in 

civil penalties. The Consent Decree also 

requires the defendants to perform 

corrective measures to remedy the 

violations. The companies will be 

required to complete the cleanup and 

remediation of the impacted area, 

improve their pipeline integrity 

management program, provide 

additional training for all their control 

room operators, expand their spill 

notification efforts for tribal 

governments with land interests within 

the footprint of the pipeline, and submit 

periodic compliance reports to the 

Environmental Protection Agency and 

the Department of Justice. 

The penalties paid in this case will be 

deposited in the federal Oil Spill 

Liability Trust Fund managed by the 

National Pollution Funds Center. The 

Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund is used to 

pay for federal response activities and to 

compensate for damages when there is 

a discharge or substantial threat of 

discharge of oil or hazardous substances 

to waters of the United States or 

adjoining shorelines.

proposed Consent Decree. Comments

Attorney General, Environment and 

Natural Resources Division, and should
