TACOMA, Wash. (AP) Environmental groups in Washington state have sued an electric utility company, alleging the company violated the Clean Water Act after turf polluted the Puyallup River during a construction project last year.
Citizens for a Healthy Bay and Seattle-based Puget Soundkeeper Alliance filed a lawsuit last week against Electron Hydro LLC after crews placed a layer of turf in the bed of the river while working on the Orting hydropower dam built, The News Tribune reported. Portions of the turf escaped and flowed downstream.
This is the third lawsuit filed against the dam in recent months, which also alleges daily operation of the dam pollutes the river by discharging heat. Electron Hydro Chief Operating Officer Thom Fischer said crews have recovered almost all of the synthetic turf but argued against the allegations that the dam itself pollutes.

On Tuesday, Citizens for a Healthy Bay and Puget Soundkeeper Alliance filed a Clean Water Act (CWA) lawsuit against defendant Electron Hydro LLC for illegal discharges the company reportedly made into the Puyallup River, a tributary of the Puget Sound. The plaintiffs’ citizen suit seeks declaratory and injunctive relief, the imposition of civil penalties, and an award of costs for Electron’s alleged violations.
The Western District of Washington complaint explains that the conservation groups have representational standing because their members, some of whom live, work, or recreate in the area, have been adversely affected by Electron’s supposed pollution. The illegal discharges, they claim, threaten their members’ interests and impair the Puyallup River, Commencement Bay, and Puget Sound’s waters and the species that rely on them.
