On November 25, 2003, a locomotive owned and operated by Union Railroad Company discharged approximately 300 gallons of #2 Diesel Fuel, as defined in Section 311(a)(1) of the CWA, 33 U.S.C. �� 1321(a)(1), and 40 C.F.R. �� 110.1, from a fuel tank. Some of the oil ran into the Thompson Run in West Mifflin, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. The discharge of oil into Thompson Run violated Section 311(b)(3) of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. �� 1321(b)(3).
