COMPLAINT

General of the State of Illinois, complains of Respondent, PETCO PETROLEUM

Section 12 of the Act, 415 ILCS 5/12 (2002), provides in pertinent part that:
No person shall:

* **
d.
Deposit any contaminants upon the land in such place and manner as to
create a water pollution hazard;

Section 3.165 of the Act, 415 ILCS 5/3.165 (2002) provides:
“Contaminant” is any solid, liquid, or gaseous matter, any odor, or any form of

“Release” means any spilling, leaking, pumping, pouring, emitting, emptying,
discharging, injecting, escaping, leaching, dumping, or disposing into the
environment. .
8.
Section 3.545 of the Act, 415 ILCS 5/3.545 (2002) provides:
“Water pollution” is such alteration of the physical, thermal, chemical, biological
or radioactive properties of any waters of the State, or such discharge of any

or render such waters harmful or detrimental or injurious to public health, safety
or welfare, or to domestic, commercial, industrial, agricultural, recreational, or
other legitimate uses, or to livestock, wild animals, birds, fish, or other aquatic
life.
9.
Section 3.550 of the Act, 415 ILCS 3.550 (2002) provides:
“Waters” means all accumulations of water, surface and underground, natural,
and artificial, public and private, or parts thereof, which are wholly or partially

provisions of this Section.
11.
Section 302.208(g) of the Board’s Water Pollution Regulations, 35 III. Adm. Code
302.208(g), provides a general use water quality standard for chloride (total) of 500 milligrams

-
12.
Section 304.105 of the Board’s Water Pollution Regulations, 35 III. Adm. Code
304.105, provides:
Violations of Water Quality Standards
In addition to the other requirements of this Part, no effluent shall,
alone or in combination with other sources, cause a violation of
any applicable water quality standard. .
13
Section 304.106 of the Board’s Water Pollution Regulations, 35 III. Adm. Code
304.106, provides:
Offensive Discharges
In addition to the other requirements of this Part, no effluent shall
contain settleable solids, floating debris, visible oil, grease, scum

14.
On May 24, 2004, Petco reported the release of approximately 50 barrels of salt
water from a corrosion hole in a four-inch steel disposal pipeline at the R.T. Hopper lease near
St. Elmo in Fayette County, Illinois.
15.
The saltwater is a produced fluid generated by Petco’s oil production activities
and contains a large concentration of chlorides and varying amounts of petroleum constituents,
which are “contaminants” as that term is defined in the Act, 415 ILCS 5/3.165 (2002).
16.
The salt water was deposited upon the land in such place and manner as to
create a water pollution hazard in that it eventually flowed approximately 150 feet across the
3
ground before entering a small tributary to Big Creek. Approximately one-quarter of a mile of
this stream was impacted.
17.
By depositing contaminants upon the land in such place and manner as to create
a water pollution hazard, Petco has violated Section 12(d) of the Act, 415 ILCS 5/12(d) (2002).
18.
The Illinois EPA investigated the spill on May 25, 2004, and observed the
surface of the water in the stream to be discolored. Unnatural bottom deposits were also
observed in the stream. Samples were collected from the stream and subsequently analyzed
for chlorides; the results included 10,300 and 13,900 mg/L.
19.
Petco’s discharge of salt water to the small stream altered its physical and
chemical properties so as to likely create a nuisance or render such waters harmful or
detrimental or injurious to public health, safety or welfare, or to domestic, commercial,
industrial, agricultural, recreational, or other legitimate uses, or to livestock, wild animals, birds,
fish, or other aquatic life.
20.
By causing or allowing the discharge of salt water into the “waters” of the State,
the Respondent has caused water pollution in the State of Illinois, and thereby violated Section
12(a) of the Act, 415 ILCS 5/12(a) (2002).
21.
Petco has previously been adjudicated in violation of Section 12 of the Act in
Jefferson County Circuit Court No. 99-CH-55. These presently alleged violations constitute
repeated violations pursuant to Section 42(f) of the Act, 415 ILCS 5/42(f) (2000), and
Complainant is authorized to seek attorney’s fees and costs.
PRAYER FOR RELIEF
WHEREFORE, Complainant, the PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, respectfully

salt water from a large corrosion hole in a steel pipeline at the Hopper Cummins #3 production
well near St. Elmo in Fayette County, Illinois.

15.
The salt water is a produced fluid generated by Petco’s oil production activities
and contains a large concentration of chlorides and varying amounts of petroleum constituents,
which are “contaminants” as that term is defined in the Act, 415 ILCS 5/3.165 (2002).

The Illinois EPA returned to the spill site to further its investigation on August22
and 24, 2004. Samples were collected from the streams and subsequently analyzed for
chlorides; the results included 8,990 mg/L in Little Moccasin Creek on August 22nd and 7,760
mg/L one-half of a mile downstream in Big Creek on August 24th~
20.
Petco’s discharge of salt water to the small stream altered its physical and
chemical properties so as to likely create a nuisance or render such waters harmful or
detrimental or injurious to public health, safety or welfare, or to domestic, commercial,
industrial, agricultural, recreational, or other legitimate uses, or to livestock, wild animals, birds,
fish, or other aquatic life.
