DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Notice of Public Comment Period for 

Proposed Clean Water Act Consent 

Decree 

Notice is hereby given that, for a 

period of 30 days, the United States will 

receive public comments on a proposed 

Consent Decree in United States v. 

Explorer Pipeline Company (‘‘Explorer 

Consent Decree’’) (Civil Action No. 

4:08–cv–2944), which was lodged with 

the United States District Court for the 

Southern District of Texas on January 8, 

2009. 

The Complaint in this Clean Water 

Act case was filed against Explorer 

Pipeline Company on October 2, 2008. 

The Complaint alleges that Explorer is 

civilly liable for violation of the Clean 

Water Act (‘‘CWA’’), 33 U.S.C. 1251 et 

seq., as amended by the Oil Pollution 

Act of 1990 (‘‘OPA’’), 33 U.S.C. 2701 et 

seq. The Complaint seeks civil penalties 

for the discharge of jet fuel into 

navigable waters of the United States or 

adjoining shorelines from Explorer’s 28- 

inch interstate refined petroleum 

products pipeline near Huntsville, 

Walker County, Texas, on July 14, 2007. 

The Complaint alleges that at least 6,568 

barrels of jet fuel were discharged from 

the pipeline during the spill event. 

Under the settlement, Explorer will pay 

a civil penalty of $3,300,000. In earlier 

responses to the spill, Explorer replaced 

the section of pipe that ruptured and 

completed cleanup of the impacted 

waters and adjoining shorelines. In 

addition, Explorer is cooperating in a 

joint federal and state natural resource 

damage assessment and is performing 

additional pipeline assessment and 

followup work under a Corrective 

Action Order issued by the United 

States Department of Transportation, 

Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety 

Administration.
