摘要：	U.S. Attorney Duane Evans announced June 16 that Houston-based Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Company (GLDD) pleaded guilty the day prior to violating the Clean Water Act in connection with an oil spill off the Louisiana coast that occurred on September 5, 2016. According to the terms of the guilty plea, GLDD agreed to pay a $1 million fine and to deposit $2 million with the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana ahead of a future hearing to determine a final amount of restitution. The incident is connected to a contract between the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and Great Lakes to complete the Cheni-er Ronquille Barrier Island Restoration Project, an island just east of Grand Isle, La. The contract called for Great Lakes to build a dike around the island, then fill it in with sediment. As part of the work, oil and gas pipelines in the area were marked, including the "Bay Marchand-to-Ostrica-to-Alliance," or "BOA," pipeline. The BOA pipelines went under and parallel to the dike on the northern end of the island. The pipelines themselves were marked, with buffer zones on either side also marked, all with cane poles, according to court documents.
