Groups Concerned about Alaska’s Clean Water Challenge State Policies

In a effort to protect clean water, eight conservation and tribal organizations filed suit in Alaska Superior Court to challenge the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation’s (“DEC”) issuance of Interim Antidegradation Implementation Methods (“Interim Methods”) without any public input. The Interim Methods, issued in July of 2010, govern how the DEC will analyze and make decisions regarding the protection and degradation of water quality when making permitting decisions.
