EPA, environmentalists reach Lower Guyandotte settlement | News

The United States Environmental Protection Agency and West Virginia environmental groups have reached a proposed settlement over regulator oversight of the Lower Guyandotte River watershed. The agreement resolves a lawsuit the groups filed against the EPA last month contending the EPA has not calculated maximum pollution amounts in the Lower Guyandotte River watershed that would allow the watershed to meet water quality standards through total maximum daily loads, or TMDLs.
