                    Notice is hereby given that on January 7, 2009, a proposed Consent Decree in                     *United States*                     v.                     *Citation Oil & Gas Corp. and Citation 1994 Investment Limited Partnership*, Civil Action No. 09-CV-0003-B was lodged with the United States District Court for the District of Wyoming.                 

In this action the United States seeks civil penalties and injunctive relief for violations of Sections 301(a) or, alternatively 311(b)(3), and Section 311(j) of the Clean Water Act (“CWA”), 33 U.S.C. 1311(a), or alternatively 1321(b)(3), and 1321(j), arising from the alleged unlawful discharge of approximately 597 barrels of crude oil and produced water into the North Fork Powder River and onto the banks adjacent to that river from Defendants' Celler Ranch Unit in Johnson County, Wyoming. Further, the United States also seeks civil penalties and injunctive relief from Defendants' alleged failure to prepare and fully implement an adequate Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures Plan as required by 40 CFR Part 112. 

The settlement secures $280,000 in civil penalties and an estimated $580,000 in injunctive relief from Citation. Among other things, the injunctive relief requires Citation to: Update its facility inventory and facility diagram; develop and implement an enhanced facility inspection, maintenance, and replacement plan; integrity test all buried flowlines that are not visually accessible for inspection; and bring the facility's Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures Plan into compliance with the applicable regulatory requirements.
