A coalition of 13 environmental groups, including two from Alabama, argue that the EPA’s water pollution limits for heavy industries are decades out of date and don’t do enough to protect rivers and streams as required by the Clean Water Act.
against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency over rules for water pollution coming from heavy industries like oil refineries and chemical manufacturing plants.
“It is a shame EPA has allowed industrial polluters such as chemical plants and oil refineries to escape accountability under the Clean Water Act by operating for decades without proper pollution controls in place,” said Nelson Brooke, Black Warrior Riverkeeper, in a news release. “It is imperative EPA swiftly right these wrongs by requiring modern pollution controls for industrial facilities in order to protect rivers and all the people and critters who depend on them to be clean and safe.
Two Alabama chemical factories are cited in the lawsuit: Ascend Performance Materials Operations LLC and Indorama Ventures Xylenes and PTA LLC, both located in Decatur on the Tennessee River.
