Region 10 Settles with City of Ashland ? Municipal Airport Fueling Facility (Ashland, OR) for CWA
Violations
On September 26, 2019, Region 10 filed an expedited settlement agreement to resolve Spill Prevention,
Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) violations at the Municipal Airport Fueling Facility located in
Ashland, Oregon following an October 2018 inspection. The SPCC Plan deficiencies included general,
training and bulk storage container inspection requirements. As part of the post-inspection compliance
process, the City of Ashland updated and certified the Facility?s SPCC plan. These actions will help
protect Neil and Emigrant Creeks, important salmon-producing tributaries in the Bear Creek Watershed
that are already water quality impaired due to water temperature, dissolved oxygen, nutrients, and
bacteria. The Respondent also agreed to pay an ESA-based penalty of $2,500.
