of the civil penalties available under § 6928(g), which provides: Any person who violates any requirement of this subehapter shall be liable to the United States for a civil penalty in an amount not to exceed $25,000 for each such violation. Each day of such violation shall, for purposes of this subsection, constitute a separate violation. Initially, the district court rejected Sun’s argument that the Davises could not enforce the civil penalty provision as a private party. Indeed, civil penalties payable to the United States may be awarded in a citizen suit brought under § 6972(a). See Clorox Co. v. Chromium Corp., 158 F.R.D. 120, 128 (N.D.Ill.1994); cf. Middlesex County Sewerage Auth. v. National Sea Clammers Ass’n, 453 U.S. 1, 14 n. 25, 101 S.Ct. 2615, 69 L.Ed.2d 435 (1981) (<HOLDING>). The district court then noted Sun’s argument
holding that the state law of collateral estoppel applies in civil rights actions brought under 42 usc  1983 holding that the limitation act does not apply to claims brought under the oil pollution act recognizing availability of civil penalties in suits brought under 33 usc  1365a the citizensuit provision of the federal water pollution control amendment of 1972 holding based on oklahoma compact that tribal immunity was not waived for civil tort suits brought in state or federal court recognizing district courts discretion in assessing civil penalties under 21 usc  842c
