A Texas-based oil company will pay another $5 million in penalties and fees for last year's oil spill off Orange County in a plea deal with state and county prosecutors.
A Texas-based oil company was charged Thursday in connection with the oil spill that fouled much of the Orange County coast last year.
"The $4.9 million in criminal fines represents one of the largest criminal fines in Orange County's history and serves to bring Amplify to justice for its actions that had such a devastating impact to our beautiful coastline and business activities," Spitzer said in a statement.
