GreenLaw submitted comments to the US EPA on the “National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO)
Reporting Rule.”

We strongly support the EPA's proposal to begin collecting basic facility information
from all CAFOs located in the United States. EPA's efforts to implement the CWA and
respond to the widespread and well-documented pollution caused by CAFOs across the
country have been severely hampered by the lack of accurate and reliable information
about most of these industrial-scale facilities. The majority of CAFOs are not permitted,
though they are required to be under the CWA, and basic information about their size,
location and waste management practices is extremely limited and often unreliable.

The ten year saga of whether a New Jersey-based LS Power should be allowed to build the Longleaf Energy Station (Longleaf), a massive coal plant slated for construction in southwest Georgia, has ended with the company’s announcement that it will withdraw all requests for environmental permits for the facility. GreenLaw has been representing Friends of the Chattahooche and Sierra Club in a series of legal challenges to those permits that have culminated in the cancellation of the Longleaf coal plant.
