The lawsuit alleges that the company "knowingly and repeatedly" disregarded the state's underground fuel storage laws, putting groundwater at risk. Among the specific charges is that the company failed to have adequate containment and detection equipment for hazardous materials stored in underground tanks.
Brown's staff noted that a legal action filed in mid-2008 by Riverside's district attorney sought an injunction against the company for its handling of hazardous materials in underground tanks. TravelCenters countered that the applicable law is unconstitutional, pre-empted by federal law and a violation of due process.
Company representatives could not be reached for comment Tuesday.

LENNAR CELEBRATION: Home builder Lennar is celebrating the one-year anniversary of its Home Showplace with a free family-friendly event featuring food, raffle drawings and children's activities such as face painting, a scavenger hunt and a bounce house.
The party is scheduled for 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday at the Lennar Home Showplace, 8700 Stockdale Highway.
Lennar is using the event to promote recently reduced home prices starting in the mid $100,000s with financing as low as 4.5 percent.
Lennar offers six communities along Panama Lane from Buena Vista Road to Union Avenue. Shoppers can view 35 floor plans at the Home Showplace, as well as exclusive resident-only recreational amenities.
BAKERS SQUARE: Bakersfield's only Bakers Square restaurant appears to have closed, and a Bob's Big Boy may be on the way.
No one answers the phone at the Bakers Square at 3939 Ming Ave. and the doors were locked Tuesday afternoon. A sign at the location said Bob's Big Boy was "coming soon."
Vicorp Restaurants Inc., former owner of the Bakers Square chain known for its extensive selection of pies, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection last year and in March sold the chain and a sister company, Village Inn pancake houses. The buyer was American Blue Ribbon Holdings LLC, a new private entity formed by Fidelity National Financial Inc. and Newport Global Advisors. The new owner also is based in Denver.
At the time of last year's bankruptcy filing, Vicorp had 267 restaurants in 25 states. American Blue Ribbon did not return repeated telephone calls requesting comment, but a press release on the Bakers Square Web site says the company will continue to operate the Village Inn and Bakers Square restaurant brands as well the VICOM pie operation.
