Phillips 66 has been indicted for allegedly discharging hundreds of thousands of gallons of industrial waste into the Los Angeles sewer system, violating the Clean Water Act.
The federal indictment includes two counts of negligent violations and four counts of knowingly violating the Clean Water Act, showcasing substantial disregard for environmental regulations.
U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada emphasized that the indictment sends a clear message that corporations must take environmental protection seriously in the face of pollution.
Phillips 66 could face up to five years probation on each count and total fines reaching $2.4 million, which would impose significant regulatory scrutiny.
