Abstract

On September 10, 2020, four states—Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, and the District of Columbia—and a number of non-state plaintiffs including the Chesapeake Bay Foundation (“CBF”) (“Plaintiffs”) filed complaints in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The Plaintiffs asserted that EPA has a mandatory duty under Clean Water Act (“CWA”) section 117(g) to ensure that the goals of the Chesapeake Bay Agreement are met, and that EPA failed to perform that duty. Plaintiffs also asserted that EPA’s evaluation of Pennsylvania’s 2019 plan for implementing the Chesapeake Bay TMDL was arbitrary and capricious in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act (“APA”). EPA seeks public input on a proposed settlement agreement prior to its final decision-making with regard to potential settlement of the litigation.
