And the crew routinely hid equipment used to conduct the discharges when the vessel entered port.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company also admitted that crew members made false statements to the Coast Guard during its inspection of the Cielo di Milano in January 2015; and destroyed a record book after the Coast Guard had boarded the vessel, according to court documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gregory Linsin, a lawyer for the company, said the matter remains under the supervision of the court, adding, &#8220;The company will address the issue following the conclusion of the court proceeding.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During its four-year term of probation, the company will be subject to an environmental compliance program that requires outside audits by an independent company and oversight by a court-appointed monitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The plea allocates $1 million to projects, to be chosen by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, to clean up marine pollution, preservation of aquatic life, and restore shorelines around Newark Bay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Palermo-based operator fined $4M in US waste oil dumping
