摘要

A federal appeals court has ruled for the first time that state administrative proceedings under the Clean Water Act (CWA) do not preempt citizen enforcement suits-and even EPA enforcement-in certain circumstances, creating the prospect of dual enforcement tracks for dischargers unless states initiate stricter and more costly judicial enforcement proceedings. The case is the first decision at the appellate level on whether a provision lifting preemption of citizen suits in certain circumstances applies to states and not just the federal government, legal experts say, which has important ramifications for the federalism balance in the clean water law. The case is also important because it mirrors the legal development of other environmental laws like the Resource Conservation & Recovery Act and the Surface Mining Control & Reclamation Act. Other environmental laws have seen litigation over the scope of citizen suits and their federal-state balance, with litigation often resting on similar clauses to that in question of the CWA, legal experts say.
