Trucking company fined $9K over Oxford spill
The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection penalized A Line Corp. of North Attleborough with a $9,325 fine after an oil leak at the company's Oxford location.
A Line Corp. is accused of violating Massachusetts Oil Spill Cleanup regulations by not notifying the agency after 50 gallons of diesel fuel leaked out of one of its commercial vehicles located at 101 Sutton Avenue, according to the MassMEP press release announcing the penalty on Friday.
The company cleaned up the spill without notifying the state agency and failed to respond to MASSDep’s request for more information surrounding the incident, according to the press release.
“Commercial motor vehicle operators must make timely oil release notification to MassDEP, obtain all necessary cleanup approvals and assess the extent and impact to public health, safety, welfare, and the environment,” said Mary Jude Pigsley, director of the MassDEP Central Regional Office in Worcester, in a written announcement.
