Groundbreaking Clean Water Act Challenge Goes Before Judge
The Virginia State Water Control Board’s cooling water discharge permit for Dominion Virginia Power North Anna Power Station Units 1 and 2 violates Virginia’s State Water Control Law, the federal Clean Water Act, and the Virginia Pollution Discharge Elimination System.
On December 18, 2008, the Blue Ridge Environmental Defense League appeared in court and asked the judge to: 1) suspend the permit and, 2) require that the State Water Control Board and Virginia DEQ go back to the drawing board and bring the permit into compliance with federal and state laws.
