Sierra Club, Highlands Conservancy Threaten Suit Over Dunkard Creek

Ben Adducio of WV Public Radio reports that the Sierra Club and West Virginia Highlands Conservancy have announced an intention to sue the state over the golden algae bloom that killed biota in Dunkard Creek last fall. Here's Ken Ward's story on the 60 day notice of intent to sue they sent to Consol. The 60 day notice is required under the Clean Water Act before a citizen suit can be filed. If the state begins an enforcement action in that time, the citizen suit is precluded.
