A federal grand jury votes to indict Texas -based oil refiner Phillips 66 for allegedly dumping hundreds of thousands of gallons of industrial wastewater from its Carson refinery into the Los Angeles County sewer system and then failing to report it.

The company faces two counts of negligently violating the federal Clean Water Act and four counts of knowingly violating the Cleanwater Act .

The Carson refinery is slated to be closed, Phillips 66 announced, after Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill into law requiring California oil refineries to maintain a set amount of inventory.
