DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the Oil 
Pollution Act

    On August 11, 2015, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the Western 
District of Texas in the lawsuit entitled United States and the State 
of Texas v. Koch Pipeline Company, L.P., Civil Action No. SA-15-CV-676.
    In this action, the United States and the State of Texas, pursuant 
to Section 1002 of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, seek natural resource 
damages, including past and future administrative and assessment costs, 
arising out of the unauthorized discharge of crude oil into Marcelinas 
Creek, a navigable water of the United States and the State of Texas, 
from Defendant's former crude oil receiving station in Karnes County, 
Texas, on October 18, 1998.
    The proposed Consent Decree requires Defendant to pay the sum of 
$770,000, an amount which will: (1) Fund the restoration option 
selected by the federal and state trustees, (2) reimburse the trustees 
for their past assessment costs, and (3) provide for future 
administrative and assessment costs associated with implementation of 
the restoration plan. The United States and the State of Texas provide 
covenants not to sue Defendant pursuant to the Oil Pollution Act, 33 
U.S.C. 2701 et seq., and the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq., 
for natural resource damages resulting from the spill.
    The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on 
the Consent Decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant 
Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, and 
should refer to United States and the State of Texas v. Koch Pipeline 
Company, L.P., D.J. Ref. No. 90-5-1-1-10848. All comments must be
