VICKI SMITH, Associated Press
MORGANTOWN (AP) — Environmental groups that have
spent years suing coal companies over water pollution are now
threatening to sue federal regulators for failing to ensure adequate
enforcement of the Clean Water Act.
They've notified the
Environmental Protection Agency of intent to sue the agency within 60
days for failing to make sure state regulators are doing their jobs.
The
environmentalists claim the state Department of Environmental
Protection isn't adequately protecting waterways. They also claim the
Legislature weakened state water-quality standards to favor the coal
industry and protect mountaintop removal mining.
Neither the EPA nor the DEP immediately commented Monday.
The groups argue that EPA should have rejected as inadequate a list of polluted streams that the state recently submitted.
They say the EPA has the power to rein in state agencies' abuses.
