Chesapeake Bay Foundation Sues U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
The Chesapeake Bay Foundation yesterday led a coalition of environmentalists, watermen, and former government officials in filing a lawsuit against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for failing to clean up the Chesapeake Bay, despite agreements to do so and $6-billion spent on the effort, reports The Washington Post.
William C. Baker, the charity’s president, said he hoped the lawsuit would prompt the Obama administration to treat the Chesapeake as a priority. Benjamin H. Grumbles, an EPA assistant administrator, said that the lawsuit asked for some things that the agency did not have the authority to do on its own. He said he worried the lawsuit could impede the Bay cleanup effort.
