A decade-long battle over removing toxic chemicals from the Spokane River may continue in a Seattle courtroom.
Members of the group Spokane River Team are asking a federal judge to push government regulators to limit the amount of PCBs that can be discharged into the river.
Much recent environmental work has been done to improve the quality of the Spokane River. That includes the city’s work to install huge storage basins to collect stormwater so it can be treated before it’s released back into the river.
But Spokane River Team members say environmental agencies are dragging their feet on PCB pollution.

On Tuesday, Parler dropped a lawsuit it had filed against Amazon in a U.S. District Court. Hours later, it filed a new lawsuit against the company, this time in King County Superior Court.
The lawsuit Parler dropped was largely rooted in antitrust claims, asserting three claims: Amazon illegally sought to reduce competition in the social media sphere on behalf of Twitter; AWS breached its contract in terminating its agreement with Parler; and Amazon intentionally interfered with Parler’s business relationships.
U.S. District Court Judge Barbara Rothstein initially ruled against all three of those claims in denying Parler a preliminary injunction while the lawsuit played out.
