EPA v. INDEPENDENCE ENERGY
Final Order With Penalty
Case summary
On February 19, 2008, an authorized representative of EPA, conducted a SPCC inspection at Jack's Oil Bulk Plant, operated by Independence Energy, Inc. Although Jack's Oil Bulk Plant, stores oil in amounts above the thresholds requiring the preparation and implementation of a SPCC plan under 40 C.F.R. Part 112, it did not have an adequate SPCC plan. Because of the size of the facilities and other factors, EPA is utilizing the ESA enforcement tool.
