Oconee River Problems Get Attention
On Wednesday, May 18th, the Altamaha Riverkeeper sent
a 60-day Notice of Intent to Sue to the City of Dublin for being
in violation of the federal Clean Water Act. The notice informs the City of
Dublin that it must stop polluting the Oconee River or face legal action.
Read the articles below.
Citizen reports about the discharge of plastic in
the Oconee River near Dublin prompted the Altamaha Riverkeeper's investigation
of the SP Newsprint Discharge pipe. Over many site visits, ARK consistently
found plastics and paper being discharged underwater along with other
substances creating a scum on the surface of the water. Working with the
Georgia Center for Law in the Public Interest, ARK filed a 60 day Notice
of Intent to Sue on August 5th.
