EPA v. GCA LOGGING INC
Final Order With Penalty
Case summary
On February 23, 2018 a fuel delivery company over-filled an above-ground storage tank at GCA?s facility, resulting in the discharge of oil into a nearby stream that flows into the Sandy River. At the time of the discharge, the facility did not have an SPCC plan. MEDEP is proposing to penalize both GCA Logging and the fuel delivery company for the oil spill. EPA proposes an SPCC ESA with a $4,000 penalty for not having an SPCC plan at the time of the spill.
