Louis Dreyfus Commodities is accused of violating the Clean Water Act in a lawsuit filed by the Puget Soundkeeper Alliance.
An environmental group has filed a lawsuit accusing a major grain handler of violating the Clean Water Act.
Puget Soundkeeper Alliance, a non-profit, claims that a grain export facility in Seattle owned by Louis Dreyfus Commodities failed to abide by the terms of its Clean Water Act permit.
The grain company is allowed to discharge stormwater as long as it meets certain conditions, but the environmental group claims Louis Dreyfus violated its CWA permit by failing to properly monitor stormwater and report discharge data.
