Four Oklahoma Oil Companies Violated the Clean Water Act
The Environmental Protection Agency has fined four Oklahoma oil producers for violation of the Clean Water Act provisions, known as the Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure regulations.
Inspections during December, 2008 through January, 2009 of the four oil production facilities, that tests and inspections as specified in the regulations, were not conducted, and that personnel were not trained in any manner, to deal with discharges.
The companies and their fines are:
N&N Oil Company, Duncan - $750;
Ronnie Gaskins Oil & Gas, Lawton - $900;
Red Earth Oil and Gas, Inc., Oklahoma City - $700; and
Lewis Oil Properties, Ratliff City - $1,800.
The companies have all now certified to the EPA that they have corrected the violations, as reported by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
