摘要

A Vermont city's challenge to an EPA-approved waterbody cleanup plan that limits the rate at which stormwater can flow into a stream is reviving the legal debate over whether the agency can use flow as a surrogate for reducing sediment and other runoff-borne pollution, following a 2013 district court ruling that found such controls violate the Clean Water Act (CWA). In a complaint filed Feb. 18 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Vermont, the city of Rutland, VT, argues that EPA exceeded its authority by approving a 2009 total maximum daily load (TMDL) cleanup plan for the nearby Moon Brook because it includes flow limits. The complaint is available on InsideEPA.com. See page 2 for details. (Doc. ID: 179169) "At the time of this filing, there is no statute, regulation, or guidance granting EPA the authority to issue or approve flow TMDLs.... Rutland hereby challenges EPA's effort to unilaterally expand its regulatory power from its CWA-authorized role of establishing TMDLs that limit 'pollutant' discharges in order to meet water quality standards, to control the quantity, or flow of a non-pollutant: water itself," the complaint says.
