On Tuesday, the U.S. Supreme Court added one more case to its current docket involving the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s administration of the Clean Water Act.
The justices have granted review in the case City and County of San Francisco v. Environmental Protection Agency, SCOTUS Blog reported. They will decide whether the limitations in San Francisco’s permit for discharging wastewater into the Pacific Ocean violate the Clean Water Act.
The issue is whether these limitations are too vague and fail to impose specific limits, instead relying on “narrative” limitations that prohibit discharges causing or contributing to violations of any applicable water quality standard and the creation of “pollution, contamination, or nuisance” as defined by state law, the outlet noted further.
The U.S. Supreme Court “quietly” handed American veterans a big win in a 7-2 ruling earlier this month.
