Finally the owner or operator
of any vessel or shoreside faci­
lity which discharges oil shall be
assessed a civil penalty which
may range up to $5,000 for each
offense Unlike many other laws
under which penalties may be
assessed. PL-92 500 provides
that a fine shall be assessed
when a oil spill occurs.
Levying of a federal civil
penalty does not preclude state
or local governments from tak­
ing additional penalty action
under local laws.
Anyone who sights an oil spill
is asked to report it
Most small boatmen are farm
liar with the term “oil pollu
tion"—but many of them may
not be familiar with federal
regulations that make fines and
imprisonment possible for any
one who spills even a small
amount of oil onto waters under
federal jurisdiction.
Rear Admiral Chester A Rich­
mond Jr., Commander of the
Thirteenth Coast Guard District
said, "Most pleasure boatmen
and small commercial operators
don’t think of themselves as
potential sources of pollution.
But the owner or operator of any
vessel, whether it’s a supertank­
er or a runabout, which dis
charges oil is violating the law.
The only exception is that an
outboard engine operating pro­
perly which leaves a thin sheen
of oil and gasoline on the water is
not considered in violation.”
The small boatman who is
fueling, cleaning bilges, pump­
ing out a flooded compartment,
or changing engine oil runs a
risk of spilling oil. If a spill
occurs the law places several
serious responsibilities on the
spiller.
First, any person in charge of
a vessel must immediately re­
port any oil discharge to the
Coast Guard Regardless of the
size of the spill, a prompt report
must be made. Failure to notify
the Coast Guard carries a fine of
up to $10,000 and imprisonment
for up to one year upon convic­
tion.
The spiller is also responsible
for all cleanup that may be
required If the Coast Guard
determines that the cleanup by
the spiller is nrit adequate, it will
order additional cleanup and the
