EPA v. DAVEY OIL COMPANY INC

Case summary

On June 10, 2015, Region 1 entered into an expedited settlement agreement with Davey Oil Company, Inc. (Davey Oil) of Bennington, Vermont addressing violations of the Oil Pollution Prevention regulations at 40 C.F.R. Part 112, promulgated under Section 311(j) of the Clean Water Act. EPA�s Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) inspection at Davey Oil revealed that the facility did not have a fully implemented SPCC plan. The purpose of the SPCC program is to prevent oil spills before they happen, thus the need for a properly prepared and implemented plan is critical to the success of the program. Pursuant to the agreement, Davey Oil will pay an $8,200 penalty, submit a revised SPCC plan, and implement on-the-ground facility improvements.
