Citgo Asks 5th Circuit To Rehear Clean Water Act Oil Spill Penalties Ruling

摘要

Citgo is asking the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit to rehear the court's ruling that upheld a lower court decision imposing an $81 million Clean Water Act (CWA) penalty on the company for a 2006 spill from the oil giant's Lake Charles, LA, refinery complex, as Citgo seeks to win a new legal precedent on how to assess penalties for spills.
