Environmental Groups Sue Long Beach Over Plan to Control Truck Emissions at Port

摘要

Clean air advocates announced Jan. 4 that they have filed a lawsuit to overturn a recent settlement resolving trucking industry litigation over the Port of Long Beach's clean trucks program (NRDC v. Long Beach, Cal. Super. Ct., No. BS124293, 12/29/09).rnFiled Dec. 29 in California Superior Court in Los Angeles County, the complaint alleged the city of Long Beach and its harbor commissioners approved the settlement "behind closed doors" and without first weighing the deal's environmental impacts, as required under the California Environmental Quality Act.
