EPA Seeks to Avoid Some Claims in Lawsuit Over River PCB Plan

摘要

Environmental groups can't pursue duplicate claims that the Environmental Protection Agency failed to issue a plan to limit the amount of PCBs in the Spokane River in Washington state, the agency told a federal court in the state.The Sierra Club and Center for Environmental Law and Policy are pursuing those claims under the Clean Water Act, so their similar claims under the Administrative Procedure Act must be dismissed, according to the agency's filing in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington.
