"These actions, which resulted in violations of permits and laws that are meant to protect our waterways, are unacceptable," said DEP Secretary Patrick McDonnell. "DEP will maintain the stringent oversight that we have consistently exercised by monitoring Sunoco and taking all steps necessary to ensure that the company complies with its permits and the law." DEP issued a consent assessment of civil penalty to Sunoco for violations of the Clean Streams Law and the Dam Safety and Encroachment Act.
