Builders/Developers' and Cities' Attempt to Repeal California's Polluted Runoff Regulations Fails
- "One of the most important aspects of the [court] decision [affirming California's new polluted runoff laws] is the rejection of the argument that California's water quality standards, which set purity thresholds for "clean water," did not apply to polluted runoff, but only to sewage treatment plants and factory discharges. The court upheld the authority of state regulators to require both cities and builders to implement and develop control measures to meet these standards, which apply to pathogens, toxins and other pollutants." - excerpt from the Natural Resources Defense Council press release.
