Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit August 26, 1983, 82-4568 (United States v. Healy Tibbitts Construction Company)

SCHROEDER, Circuit Judge.

We are concerned here with an application of the civil penalty provisions of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act. A $3,000 civil penalty was assessed under that Act against the Healy Tibbitts Company, based upon the Coast Guard’s findings that its vessel had discharged oil into navigable waters.
