Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the Oil Pollution Act
On November 15, 2013, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed consent decree with the United States District Court for the District of Colorado in the lawsuit entitled United States et al. v. Suncor (U.S.A.) Inc., Civil Action No. 1:13-cv-03109.
