EPA’s got a new ‘tude!
Tuesday, November 10th, 2009On this blog we’ve talked about the rumors of greater enforcement actions (see October 15 and August 5 posts). Now the Obama Administration has put their money where there mouth is and followed up.
What does this mean for Tennesseans? Well, we’re not being left out. EPA issued a demand letter to the Knoxville Utility Board for illicit discharges (illegal dumping) of sewage from 2005-2008. These dates are for the years immediately following our lawsuit.
Then yesterday we found out about an enforcement action EPA took against a developer for guess what? Stormwater runoff to the tune of $350,000! That is freakin’ huge!
Finally, we’re getting some relief!
