SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Division of Water Quality issued a notice of violation towards Chevron for the diesel fuel spill near Willard Bay.
The report is not a penalty and doesn't levy any fines. Chevron has the opportunity to review the document and submit a "response" or "challenge" within 30 days. When Chevron has filed a response the state will begin a process to determine if a penalty is necessary for the spill.
Division director, Walt Baker, said because the Willard Bay incident is Chevron's third pipeline spill in three years, it could play a role in Chevron receiving a penalty.
As of Friday, 408 barrels of diesel have been recovered, and an estimated 70 barrels remain in the surrounding soil and water.
