- Title
- Chesapeake Bay Foundation Sues the EPA
- What occurred
- In 2020, the Chesapeake Bay Foundation along with the Maryland Watermen's Association, Anne Arundel County, and a few Virginia cattle farmers, sued the EPA for renouncing its responsibilities under the Clean Water Act. Separate lawsuits were also filed by the Attorney Generals of Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, and the District of Columbia. The EPA failed to make sure the Bay jurisdictions were fulfilling their obligations of meeting their pollution reduction commitments by the 2025 deadline. This was found to be a violation of the Clean Water Act, Administrative Procedure Act, and the 2014 Chesapeake Bay Agreement.
