"Lawsuit Alleges EPA Failed To Protect Shenandoah River"

"FRONT ROYAL, Va. — A federal lawsuit alleges the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency failed to protect the Shenandoah River from pollution that's caused the scenic waterway to become clogged with algae blooms.

The lawsuit was filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Washington by several environmental groups represented by Earthjustice. It challenges the EPA's approval of Virginia's decision not to list the Shenandoah as impaired by the algae under the Clean Water Act."

The Associated Press had the story May 30, 2017.
