保护行动动态
美国华盛顿哥伦比亚特区安纳科斯蒂亚河护水者,正为该河流庆祝一项重大胜利。司法部长施瓦尔布(Schwalb)宣布,华盛顿燃气公司(Washington Gas)已同意积极控制持续渗入安纳科斯蒂亚河的有害污染。该公司如今需负责安装一套全新的浮动拦污栅与过滤系统,以拦截并防止水体污染;此外,还需在河岸线沿线的土壤中修建一道新的防护屏障,配合该行政区的持续监测工作,且若出现任何违规行为,需缴纳罚款。
美国特拉华州特拉华河护水者宣布,美国环境保护署(U.S. EPA)已敲定特拉华河费城至威尔明顿段(全长 38 英里)的新水质标准。这一决定源于一份旨在更新过时标准的法律请愿书及相关诉讼。新规定强调了维持良好水质对水生生物的重要性,尤其针对该河流中独特的大西洋鲟鱼种群。特拉华河护水者玛雅・K・罗瑟姆(Maya K. Rossum)对该决定表示赞赏,强调其制定基于科学依据,且具有经济价值。特拉华河护水者组织高级律师凯西・马纳汉(Kacy Manahan)指出,此次规则制定体现了《清洁水法》(Clean Water Act)在保护水生生物方面的效力。
美国北卡罗来纳州 French Broad 河护水者与上纽河护水者(均隶属于 MountainTrue 环保组织),正牵头开展北卡罗来纳州西部的环境清理工作,并评估海伦飓风(Hurricane Helene)对该地区造成的长期环境影响。这场飓风引发了灾难性洪水,将包括聚氯乙烯(PVC)管道、工业废料及家庭废弃物在内的数十吨垃圾冲入当地河流与溪流。
在一笔为期18个月、金额1000万美元的州政府拨款支持下,MountainTrue组织的工作人员已从五个流域的十余条河流中清理出超过 75 吨垃圾。该组织同时表达了担忧:仓促推进的灾后恢复工作已破坏了敏感的水生栖息地,并对濒危物种构成威胁;他们正推动未来制定更符合生态保护需求的灾害应对规划。
美国北卡罗来纳州 Sound Rivers 环保组织的纽斯河护水者兼倡导项目主任萨曼莎・克罗普(Samantha Krop),凭借在利克溪流域取得的两项重大胜利,获得了南方环境法律中心(Southern Environmental Law Center)的认可。多年来,斯威特布赖尔住宅区开发项目产生的泥沙不断侵蚀利克溪流域,导致水质恶化,使鱼类及其他水生生物难以生存。Sound Rivers 组织对斯威特布赖尔住宅区下游的水质进行了监测,两年多来记录到大量严重违规行为,其中仅违规排污行为就超过 300 起。经过多年的倡导与诉讼,斯威特布赖尔住宅区的开发商最终同意采取措施,防止马丁支流与飓风溪出现泥沙污染。
本月早些时候,孟加拉国护水者组织(Waterkeepers Bangladesh)及盟友在达卡举行了一场象征性抗议活动,旨在保护孙德尔本斯(Sundarbans)、希尔沙鱼(Hilsha)及盐业生产免受煤炭污染。包括布里甘加河护水者、孟加拉国护水者组织执行董事沙里夫・贾米勒(Sharif Jamil)在内的发言者警告称,兰帕尔(Rampal)、派拉(Payra)及马塔尔巴里(Matarbari)三座发电厂正破坏生态系统、阻碍希尔沙鱼洄游,并威胁盐业生产,进而引发粮食安全问题。此次活动是 “亚洲能源网络”(Asian Energy Network)与 “亚洲人民日期与发展运动”(Asian Peoples Movement on Date and Development)发起的全球行动的一部分,呼吁取消煤炭项目,并紧急转向可再生能源。

NEWS FROM THE MOVEMENT
Chattahoochee Riverkeeper (Georgia, U.S.) has requested that LaGrange Mayor Arrington and the city council enact a 90-day moratorium on data center development. This pause would allow the city to create an ordinance that will guide future data center developments. CRK signed a letter stating that this request is a reasonable and cautious step that elected officials can take to engage with an active and motivated community. Data centers require more than just typical economic development projects. The Georgia Department of Community Affairs is currently revising the rules governing the Developments of Regional Impact application and review process to address data centers as a distinct type of development.
Anacostia Riverkeeper (Washington D.C., U.S.) is celebrating a significant victory for the river. Attorney General Schwalb has announced that Washington Gas has agreed to actively contain hazardous pollution that has been seeping into the Anacostia River. The company will now be responsible for installing a new floating boom and filtration system to capture and prevent pollution in the water. Also, they will construct a new barrier in the soil along the shoreline, comply with ongoing monitoring by the district, and pay penalties for any noncompliance.
Delaware Riverkeeper (Delaware, U.S.) announced that the U.S. EPA has finalized new water quality standards for a 38-mile section of the Delaware River between Philadelphia and Wilmington. This decision follows a legal petition and litigation aimed at updating outdated standards. The new regulation highlights the importance of maintaining good water quality for aquatic life, particularly for the unique population of Atlantic sturgeon found in the river. Maya K. Rossum, Delaware Riverkeeper, praised the decision, emphasizing its basis in science and economic value. Kacy Manahan, Senior Attorney at the Delaware Riverkeeper, noted that this rulemaking demonstrates the effectiveness of the Clean Water Act in protecting aquatic life.
French Broad Riverkeeper and Upper New Riverkeeper, part of MountainTrue, (North Carolina, U.S.) are leading efforts to clean up and assess the long-term environmental impacts of Hurricane Helene across western North Carolina. The storm caused catastrophic flooding and washed tons of debris, including PVC pipe, industrial waste, and household materials, into local rivers and streams. With support from a $10 million, 18-month state grant, MountainTrue crews have already removed more than 75 tons of debris from a dozen rivers across five watersheds. The organizations are also raising concerns about how rushed recovery efforts have damaged sensitive aquatic habitats and endangered species, and are pushing for more ecologically informed disaster planning going forward.
Neuse Riverkeeper and Director of Advocacy at Sound Rivers (North Carolina, U.S.), Samantha Krop, was recognized by the Southern Environmental Law Center for two major victories for the Lick Creek watershed. For years, sediment from the Sweetbrier residential development has eroded the Lick Creek watershed, degrading water quality and making it difficult for fish and other aquatic wildlife to survive. Sound Rivers has monitored water quality downstream of Sweetbrier and documented severe and pervasive violations for over two years, including more than 300 instances of permit violations. After years of advocacy and litigation, the developer of Sweetbrier has agreed to take action to prevent sediment pollution in Martin Branch and Hurricane Creek.
Waterkeepers Bangladesh (Bangladesh) and allies staged a symbolic protest in Dhaka to protect the Sundarbans, Hilsha, and salt from coal pollution earlier this month. Speakers, including Sharif Jamil, Buriganga Waterkeeper and executive director of Waterkeepers Bangladesh, warned that the Rampal, Payra, and Matarbari power plants devastate ecosystems, block the migration of Hilsha, and threaten salt production, creating food insecurity. As part of a global action by the Asian Energy Network and Asian Peoples Movement on Date and Development, the event demanded the cancellation of coal projects and an urgent shift to renewable energy.
