CBF, Partners Sue EPA Over Failure To Keep Chesapeake Bay Cleanup Commitments

WASHINGTON, D.C.-- After 25 years of watching promises broken and commitments unfulfilled, the Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF) today filed a lawsuit in federal court to require the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to enforce the law and reduce pollution sufficiently to remove the Chesapeake Bay from the federal ‘impaired waters’ list. The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia following a legal requirement for a 60 day notice of intent to sue period (CBF filed the notice on Oct. 29).
