While the City of Worcester declared victory when its dispute with the EPA over discharge limits at the Upper Blackstone Water Pollution Abatement District, not everyone is cheering.
From GoLocalProv:
[Rhode Island Attorney General Peter F. ] Kilmartin also writes that the substance of MassDEP’s position is unfair “in light of the great sacrifices Rhode Island rate-payers are making to stop pollution of the upper Bay. The treatment plants located in the Ocean State have already cleaned-up or are in the process of doing so. While the Massachusetts situation threatens to fester indefinitely, the Rhode Island permitees are making rapid progress towards meeting those standards.”
