DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree 

Under the Clean Water Act 

Notice is hereby given that on 

September 12, 2008, a proposed consent 

decree (the ‘‘Decree’’) in United States 

and State of Oregon v. Truax Oil, Inc., 

Civil Action No. 3:08–cv–01063–KI, was 

lodged with the United States District 

Court for the District of Oregon. 

In this action the United States and 

State of Oregon sought civil penalties 

for Defendant Truax Oil’s spill of 

approximately 11,000 gallons of oil from 

a tanker truck owned and operated by 

Truax. Truax owns and operates a liquid 

petroleum transport company based in 

Corvallis, Oregon. On March 11, 2006, 

a tanker truck owned and operated by 

Truax carrying approximately 9,000 

gallons of gasoline and 2,000 gallons of 

diesel fuel overturned while traveling 

on U.S. Highway 5, at Milepost 118, 

near Roseburg, Oregon. Gasoline and 

diesel that did not ignite in the ensuing 

fire spilled into a soil embankment 

beside the highway and migrated to an 

unnamed tributary to Roberts Creek, a 

tributary of the South Fork of the 

Umpqua River. Truax’s discharge of 

gasoline and diesel to the Umpqua River 

and its tributaries violated the Clean 

Water Act and Oregon law. Under the 

consent decree, Truax will pay the 

United States and the State of Oregon 

civil penalties of $117,500 and $20,000, 

respectively. 

The Department of Justice will receive 

for a period of thirty (30) days from the 

date of this publication comments 

relating to the consent decree.
