Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the Clean 
Water Act

    On January 19, 2017, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
consent decree with the United States District Court for the Northern 
District of Oklahoma in the lawsuit entitled United States v. Magellan 
Pipeline Company, L.P., Civil Action No. 17-cv-00031-JED-TLW.
    The United States filed this lawsuit under the Clean Water Act, 33 
U.S.C. 1251 et seq. The complaint seeks civil penalties and injunctive 
relief for violations related to four unauthorized discharges of 
petroleum products from Magellan's liquid petroleum pipeline system. 
These spills occurred in 2011 and 2015 in Kansas, Nebraska, and Texas. 
The consent decree requires Magellan to pay a civil penalty of $2 
million. The consent decree also requires Magellan to complete 
injunctive relief across its 11,000-mile pipeline system, including: 
(1) Completing an ongoing spill cleanup effort in Nebraska, (2) 
instituting an enhanced annual training program for its third-party 
damage prevention staff, (3) updating and enhancing company information 
resources concerning selective seam corrosion, (4) updating its 
integrity management plan, and (5) creating a publicly accessible Web 
page that will report information about certain types of pipeline 
releases and Magellan's responses to them.
    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 v. Magellan Pipeline Company, L.P., D.J.
