On Wednesday, Columbia Riverkeeper filed a Clean Water Act (CWA) suit against Thompson Metal Fab, Inc. for its alleged and ongoing failures to comply with its National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. The Western District of Washington complaint seeks declaratory and injunctive relief, the assessment of civil penalties, and the award of the plaintiff’s litigation costs.
The defendant reportedly owns and operates an industrial facility in Vancouver, Washington, on land abutting the Columbia River. From the facility, it allegedly discharges polluted stormwater into the river. Plaintiff Columbia Riverkeeper, a litigant that frequently brings CWA citizen suits, is suing on behalf of itself and its members. The State of Washington non-profit corporation explains that the instant lawsuit is part of its effort to “improve water quality in the Columbia River Basin for purposes including recreation, habitat quality, and subsistence, recreational, and commercial fishing.”
