US EditionGroups sue EPA in an effort to strengthen oversight of livestock operations
- A coalition of environmental groups has filed a lawsuit in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals to compel the EPA to strengthen its regulation of large livestock operations that release pollutants into waterways. The groups seek clarification on which farms must comply with federal regulations and which discharges are exempt.
- The EPA had previously denied petitions from the groups but stated it would study its program for regulating livestock farms and pollution limits. The groups argue that additional study is unnecessary and accused the EPA of enabling polluters.
- Environmental groups claim that the EPA lacks understanding of the location of large livestock operations and is lax in enforcing regulations. They seek stricter rules to control waste from factory farms, which can contaminate waterways and cause pollution-related issues.
