“The violations here are serious and long-running,” Judge Edward Davila said in Tuesday’s ruling. “They involve actual pollution — not just paperwork violations — that can pose public health risks.”
Davila found the cities violated the Clean Water Act from Jan. 17, 2019, to June 30, 2022, from when the nonprofit Baykeeper tested their water quality to when they received a new permit.
