摘要

EPA and environmentalists have reached a tentative agreement to dismiss litigation over whether the agency has been doing enough to protect endangered species in Washington state from runoff, with EPA agreeing to reconsider its previous approval of the state's Clean Water Act (CWA) section 319 program. If finalized, the agreement would end a lawsuit that the environmental group Northwest Environmental Advocates (NWEA) filed in December 2016 seeking to boost nonpoint source controls in Washington state to protect dozens of aquatic species and drinking water supplies. EPA announced in the Oct. 13 Federal Register that it is taking written comment on the proposed agreement until Nov. 12. Judge John C. Coughenour of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington in 2018 dismissed some of NWEA's claims in NWEA v. Department of Commerce, et al, finding the environmental group lacked standing to force the withholding of federal funds for state nonpoint source programs via CWA section 319 grants and Coastal Zone Management Act section 306 grants. But several other CWA and Endangered Species Act (ESA) claims remained active in the litigation. Specifically, NWEA claims EPA violated CWA section 319 by approving Washington state's 2015 nonpoint source program update; , violated section 319(h)(8) in successive determinations in 2015,2016 and 2017 that the state had made satisfactory progress in implementing the nonpoint source program in the previous years; and violated ESA section 7 by failing to consult on those decisions as well as on the agency's annual awards of section 319 grants in each year between 2011-2017.
