保護行動動態(tài)

哥倫比亞河護水者（美國俄勒岡州）已與昆西市達成和解協(xié)議，以解決一項關(guān)于該市工業(yè)廢水處理廠涉嫌違反《清潔水法》的聯(lián)邦訴訟。該協(xié)議源于哥倫比亞河護水者2024年11月提起的訴訟，訴訟稱昆西市多次違反州生態(tài)部頒發(fā)的廢水排放許可證。該處理廠會先對廢水進行處理，再將其排入附近水道。盡管昆西市不承認(rèn)存在責(zé)任，但已同意采取糾正措施，確保該設(shè)施符合法規(guī)要求。若該市無法為這些項目獲得資金，必須在法令生效之日起485天內(nèi)停止廢水排放，或轉(zhuǎn)移該設(shè)施的所有權(quán)。

奧吉奇河護水者（美國佐治亞州） 被評為2025年“史密斯·W·巴格利倡導(dǎo)獎”得主。薩佩洛基金會董事會每年都會評選出一個杰出的非營利組織或網(wǎng)絡(luò)授予該榮譽。該獎項是一項專項贈款，旨在紀(jì)念薩佩洛基金會已故主席兼董事及其打造更公正、公平社會的愿景。2025年8月28日，薩佩洛基金會在薩凡納的一場招待會上頒發(fā)了該獎項。奧吉奇河護水者獲選的原因是“在關(guān)鍵一年里，為保護奧吉奇流域免受傷害所做的工作，以及在布賴恩縣的開發(fā)和工業(yè)項目中爭取到的重要讓步與補救措施”。

圣約翰河護水者（美國佛羅里達州）對JEA（杰克遜維爾電力局）計劃在北杰克遜維爾新建天然氣發(fā)電廠的方案表示失望。該組織擔(dān)憂該項目對河流的影響以及對化石燃料的長期依賴。目前，JEA在維護其北岸發(fā)電站的3號機組（燃油和天然氣機組）時面臨著成本上升的問題。盡管存在這些擔(dān)憂，該公用事業(yè)公司仍同意推進該項目，新廠將建在舊圣約翰河發(fā)電站的舊址上。

三河護水者（美國賓夕法尼亞州）與賓州環(huán)境協(xié)會 已與BVPV苯乙烯有限公司及其母公司美國Styropek公司達成和解協(xié)議，解決了一項關(guān)于Styropek公司位于賓夕法尼亞州莫納卡的工廠排放塑料顆粒（nurdle）污染的《清潔水法》訴訟。這項金額達260萬美元的擬議和解協(xié)議要求Styropek公司重新設(shè)計雨水系統(tǒng)以收集所有顆粒廢料，在每個排水口安裝先進監(jiān)測設(shè)備（若檢測到任何顆粒則自動處罰），并且若恢復(fù)生產(chǎn)，需實施嚴(yán)格的廢水控制措施。

波托馬克河上游護水者（美國西弗吉尼亞州）近期因在用作肥料的生物固體中發(fā)現(xiàn)全氟和多氟烷基物質(zhì)（PFAS）而被《首都公報》報道。目前，部分州已著手制定生物固體應(yīng)用限制，另有部分州則更進一步，全面禁止使用這些有害化學(xué)物質(zhì)。當(dāng)被問及該問題時，一些農(nóng)民表示，他們從公司購買生物固體時，并未被告知其中含有PFAS。

NEWS FROM THE MOVEMENT

Columbia Riverkeeper (Oregon, U.S.) has reached a settlement with the City of Quincy to resolve a federal Clean Water Act lawsuit concerning alleged violations at the city’s industrial wastewater treatment plant. This agreement follows a lawsuit filed by Columbia Riverkeeper in November 2024, which claimed that Quincy repeatedly violated its wastewater discharge permit issued by the state Department of Ecology. The facility treats wastewater before releasing it into nearby waterways. While Quincy does not admit liability, it has agreed to take corrective actions to ensure the facility complies with regulations. If the city is unable to secure funding for these projects, it must either stop wastewater discharge or transfer ownership of the facility within 485 days from the effective date of the decree.

Ogeechee Riverkeeper (Georgia, U.S.) has been named the 2025 recipient of the Smith W. Bagley Advocacy Award. The Sapelo Foundation Board of Trustees annually selects an outstanding nonprofit organization or network to receive the honor. The award is a special grant to memorialize The Sapelo Foundation’s late President and Trustee and his vision for a more just and equitable society. The Sapelo Foundation presented the award on August 28, 2025, at a reception in Savannah. Ogeechee Riverkeeper was chosen for “Work defending the Ogeechee watershed against harm in a critical year, and securing essential concessions and remediations” related to development and industry in Bryan County.

St. Johns Riverkeeper (Florida, U.S.) has expressed disappointment with JEA’s plans to construct a new natural gas power plant in North Jacksonville. The organization is concerned about the impact on the river and the long-term reliance on fossil fuels. Currently, JEA is facing increasing costs to maintain Unit 3, which burns oil and natural gas at its Northside Generation Station. Despite these concerns, the utility has agreed to move forward with the project, which will be built at the site of the old St. Johns River Power Park.

Three Rivers Waterkeeper (Pennsylvania, U.S.) and PennEnvironment?announced a settlement with BVPV Styrenics LLC and parent company Styropek USA, Inc., resolving a Clean Water Act lawsuit over plastic pellet (“nurdle”) pollution from Styropek’s Monaca, Pennsylvania plant. The $2.6 million proposed settlement requires Styropek to redesign its stormwater systems to capture all pellet waste, install advanced monitoring at every outfall with automatic penalties for any pellet detected, and—if manufacturing restarts—implement strict wastewater controls.

Upper Potomac Riverkeeper (West Virginia, U.S.) was recently featured in the Capital Gazette regarding the discovery of PFAS in biosolids used as fertilizer. Upper While some states have moved forward with establishing limits on biosolids applications, others are going a step further by banning the use of these harmful chemicals altogether. When asked about the issue, some farmers reported that they were not informed about the presence of PFAS in the biosolids when purchasing them from companies.
