Exxon Mobil pays $2.63M fine for pipeline spill in Mayflower
LITTLE ROCK—Exxon Mobil has paid a $2.63 million fine more than three years after its Pegasus pipeline ruptured and spilled thousands of gallons of crude into a Mayflower neighborhood.
Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration spokesman Damon Hill said the company paid the fine on April 21.
The oil company has 89 days from April 1, the date of the agency's final order of compliance, to decide whether to challenge the far-reaching order in a federal appeals court.
"We continue to evaluate our options on the Final Order, including a possible appeal," Exxon Mobil spokeswoman Ashley Smith Alemayehu said in an email.
