Arsenic water quality standards

On behalf of Idaho Conservation League, we sent EPA a notice-of-intent letter in July 2008, alleging that it was violating Section 303(c) of the Federal Clean Water Act in not requiring the State of Idaho to adopt sufficiently protective water quality standards for arsenic and other toxic pollutants.

We thereafter negotiated a settlement agremeent with EPA and the Department of Justice, which establishes a schedule and process for EPA to address the outstanding arsenic and other toxic standards in Idaho.
