保護行動動態(tài)

在美國阿拉巴馬州，由南部環(huán)境法律中心代理的黑戰(zhàn)士河護水者與颶風溪護水者，已同塔斯卡盧薩市及阿拉巴馬州環(huán)境管理局簽署和解協(xié)議。該協(xié)議旨在解決該市長期存在的污水泄漏問題以及對《清潔水法》的違規(guī)行為。過去五年間，塔斯卡盧薩市因涉嫌違反《阿拉巴馬州水污染控制法》，向當?shù)厮琅欧懦?100萬加侖未經(jīng)處理的原生污水，目前已正式承諾將對其污水系統(tǒng)開展評估與全面整改。該市還保證將投入1800萬美元用于設施升級，并在未來發(fā)生污水泄漏時，向公眾發(fā)布更全面的警示公告。

墨西哥的洛雷托海岸護水者、生態(tài)聯(lián)盟主任卡洛斯·波薩達斯近期出席了該國西北部地區(qū)自然保護區(qū)顧問委員會主席首屆會議。此次會議是強化治理、氣候變化及包容性相關對話、學習與經(jīng)驗分享的重要平臺。在世界資源研究所墨西哥分部、卡蘇阿自然保護組織、公民協(xié)作組織等機構(gòu)的推動下，會議致力于優(yōu)化自然保護區(qū)、生態(tài)系統(tǒng)及依賴其生存的社區(qū)的管理決策。

美國賓夕法尼亞州的薩斯奎哈納河下游護水者即將與漢諾威食品公司達成115萬美元的和解協(xié)議，以解決后者多年來違反《清潔水法》的相關問題。根據(jù)近期提交的法律判令，漢諾威食品公司需向政府繳納57.5萬美元民事罰款，同時向賓夕法尼亞州環(huán)境保護局支付一筆額外款項，罰款總額達115萬美元。2021年相關訴訟的原始訴狀顯示，州及聯(lián)邦機構(gòu)指控該公司存在廢水污染物排放超許可限值的違法行為。薩斯奎哈納河下游護水者泰德·葉夫根尼阿迪斯強調(diào)，任何人都不得污染約克縣的溪流與河流，一旦造成污染，必須為問題整改承擔相應責任。

美國佐治亞州的蘇旺尼河護水者通報稱，蘇旺尼河上游水位已顯著下降。若無大量降雨，河流中的魚類及依賴該河生存的社區(qū)都將面臨嚴峻挑戰(zhàn)。部分魚類可能被困在孤立水洼中，且據(jù)蘇旺尼河護水者約翰·夸特曼表示，低水位已導致民眾駕駛機動船在河道航行變得極為困難。蘇旺尼河水務管理區(qū)正持續(xù)監(jiān)測地下水位，其發(fā)布的報告顯示，當前水位仍遠高于歷史最低紀錄。

巴哈馬護水者已啟動水質(zhì)檢測與環(huán)境監(jiān)測工作，為泰諾海灘大橋在建臨時堤道項目提供支持。該修復工程旨在恢復輕型與重型車輛的全面通行能力。巴哈馬護水者與其合作方正確保這一基礎設施升級項目在實施過程中建立完善的環(huán)境保障措施，尤其要做好對沿海及海洋生態(tài)環(huán)境的保護。

NEWS FROM THE MOVEMENT

Black Warrior Riverkeeper and Hurricane Creekeeper (Alabama, U.S.), represented by the Southern Environmental Law Center, have signed a settlement agreement with the city of Tuscaloosa and the Alabama Department of Environmental Management. This agreement aims to address the city’s ongoing sewage spills and violations of the Clean Water Act. Tuscaloosa has officially committed to evaluating and overhauling its sewage system after being accused of violating the Alabama Water Pollution Control Act by releasing over 41 million gallons of raw sewage into local waterways over the past five years. The city has pledged to invest $18 million in upgrades and to provide more comprehensive public notices when future spills occur.

Loreto Coastkeeper (Mexico), Carlos Posadas, the Director of Eco-Alliance, recently attended the inaugural meeting of the Presidents of Advisory Councils of Protected Natural Areas in the Northwest Zone of the country. This gathering serves as an important platform for enhancing dialogue, learning, and sharing experiences related to governance, climate change, and inclusion. Driven by organizations such as WRI Mexico, Casua Nature, and Civic Collaboration, the meeting aims to improve decision-making in the management of protected natural areas, ecosystems, and the communities that depend on them.

Lower Susquehanna Riverkeeper (Pennsylvania, U.S.) is set to reach a $1.15 million settlement with Hanover Foods to resolve several years of violations of the Clean Water Act. According to a recently submitted legal decree, Hanover Foods will pay a civil penalty of $575,000 to the government, plus an additional amount to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, for a total of $1.15 million. The original complaint in the 2021 lawsuit alleged that state and federal agencies claimed the company had breached its wastewater discharge permit limits for pollutants.Ted Evgeniadis, Lower Susquehanna Riverkeeper, emphasized that no one should be allowed to pollute York County's streams or the river, and that if they do, they must be held accountable for addressing the issue.

Suwannee Riverkeeper (Georgia, U.S.) reports significantly lower water levels in the upper Suwannee River. Without substantial rainfall, both fish and the communities that depend on the river are facing serious challenges. Some fish may become trapped in isolated pools, and according to John Quarterman from Suwannee Riverkeeper, the low water levels are making it extremely difficult for people to navigate the river with power boats. The Suwannee River Water Management District is monitoring groundwater levels, and its reports indicate that current levels are still well above record lows.

Waterkeeper Bahamas (Bahamas) has started conducting water quality testing and environmental monitoring in support of the temporary causeway currently under construction at the Taino Beach Bridge.

Waterkeepers Bahamas, along with its partners, is ensuring that this infrastructure improvement is implemented with strong environmental safeguards, particularly concerning the coastal and marine environment.
