5 Groups sue US EPA

[prashamk]

US EPA seems to be into huge problem after being sued by 5 environmental groups.

The Florida Wildlife Federation, the Sierra Club, the Conservancy of Southwest Florida, the Environmental Confederation of Southwest Florida and the St. Johns Riverkeeper sued EPA as the federal government is voilating the Clean Water Act by not setting standards for Farm & Urban Runoff which is polluting Florida's waterways.

The water runoff from farm and urban areas gets fertilized due to which over the time large blooms of algae comes into existence.

Great scoop, but dont forget to give credit to EarthJustice for the lawsuit.
This is a case of the Clean Water Act vs. HAB or Harmful Algae Blooms from Agricultural and Industrial Nutrient Enriched Storm water runoff.
TMDL's have not been set as were promised in 1998.
There it is again "Land Based Nutrient Enriched Storm water runoff."

The reef fish that caused the Ciguatera Outbreak ate some of that Blue/Green Algae.
