Chevron Fined $1 Million Over Gulf Slick Spill
A UPI report says Chevron Oil Co. was fined $1 million by a federal judge for 600 violations related to antipollution law and failing to equip offshore wells with storm chokes. The spill from Feb 10 damaged Louisiana seafood beds and prompted a grand jury to indict on 900 counts, with 500 pleaded to and 400 dropped. Interior officials hailed the ruling as a landmark victory and urged stricter industry compliance.
