Union Pacific To Pay $10,000 Fine For Suisun Bay Spill

Posted: 3:28 pm PST January 12, 2006

Union Pacific Railroad Co. will pay a $10,000 fine as a result of oil leaks into Suisun Bay.

The fines, announced Wednesday, follow a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency investigation.

The investigation began in February with a report that rain was washing oil from contaminated soil into a storm drain at a Martinez service yard.

The EPA also ordered Union Pacific last summer to submit a plan for preventing spills and to clean up the site. Officials say that work has been completed.
