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.
