A Georgia company will pay $725,000 for spills of jet fuel and gasoline in Virginia, Georgia and North Carolina. Alpharetta, Ga.-based Plantation Pipeline company also agreed to $1.3 million in new spill prevention safeguards. The fines settle a federal lawsuit over alleged Clean Water Act violations. The lawsuit cited failure to have a spill prevention plan, a leak of jet fuel from a pipeline, and spills. In Georgia, there was a spill in Hull in 2003.
