保护行动动态

在美国阿拉巴马州，由南部环境法律中心代理的黑战士河护水者与飓风溪护水者，已同塔斯卡卢萨市及阿拉巴马州环境管理局签署和解协议。该协议旨在解决该市长期存在的污水泄漏问题以及对《清洁水法》的违规行为。过去五年间，塔斯卡卢萨市因涉嫌违反《阿拉巴马州水污染控制法》，向当地水道排放超4100万加仑未经处理的原生污水，目前已正式承诺将对其污水系统开展评估与全面整改。该市还保证将投入1800万美元用于设施升级，并在未来发生污水泄漏时，向公众发布更全面的警示公告。

墨西哥的洛雷托海岸护水者、生态联盟主任卡洛斯·波萨达斯近期出席了该国西北部地区自然保护区顾问委员会主席首届会议。此次会议是强化治理、气候变化及包容性相关对话、学习与经验分享的重要平台。在世界资源研究所墨西哥分部、卡苏阿自然保护组织、公民协作组织等机构的推动下，会议致力于优化自然保护区、生态系统及依赖其生存的社区的管理决策。

美国宾夕法尼亚州的萨斯奎哈纳河下游护水者即将与汉诺威食品公司达成115万美元的和解协议，以解决后者多年来违反《清洁水法》的相关问题。根据近期提交的法律判令，汉诺威食品公司需向政府缴纳57.5万美元民事罚款，同时向宾夕法尼亚州环境保护局支付一笔额外款项，罚款总额达115万美元。2021年相关诉讼的原始诉状显示，州及联邦机构指控该公司存在废水污染物排放超许可限值的违法行为。萨斯奎哈纳河下游护水者泰德·叶夫根尼阿迪斯强调，任何人都不得污染约克县的溪流与河流，一旦造成污染，必须为问题整改承担相应责任。

美国佐治亚州的苏旺尼河护水者通报称，苏旺尼河上游水位已显著下降。若无大量降雨，河流中的鱼类及依赖该河生存的社区都将面临严峻挑战。部分鱼类可能被困在孤立水洼中，且据苏旺尼河护水者约翰·夸特曼表示，低水位已导致民众驾驶机动船在河道航行变得极为困难。苏旺尼河水务管理区正持续监测地下水位，其发布的报告显示，当前水位仍远高于历史最低纪录。

巴哈马护水者已启动水质检测与环境监测工作，为泰诺海滩大桥在建临时堤道项目提供支持。该修复工程旨在恢复轻型与重型车辆的全面通行能力。巴哈马护水者与其合作方正确保这一基础设施升级项目在实施过程中建立完善的环境保障措施，尤其要做好对沿海及海洋生态环境的保护。

NEWS FROM THE MOVEMENT

Black Warrior Riverkeeper and Hurricane Creekeeper (Alabama, U.S.), represented by the Southern Environmental Law Center, have signed a settlement agreement with the city of Tuscaloosa and the Alabama Department of Environmental Management. This agreement aims to address the city’s ongoing sewage spills and violations of the Clean Water Act. Tuscaloosa has officially committed to evaluating and overhauling its sewage system after being accused of violating the Alabama Water Pollution Control Act by releasing over 41 million gallons of raw sewage into local waterways over the past five years. The city has pledged to invest $18 million in upgrades and to provide more comprehensive public notices when future spills occur.

Loreto Coastkeeper (Mexico), Carlos Posadas, the Director of Eco-Alliance, recently attended the inaugural meeting of the Presidents of Advisory Councils of Protected Natural Areas in the Northwest Zone of the country. This gathering serves as an important platform for enhancing dialogue, learning, and sharing experiences related to governance, climate change, and inclusion. Driven by organizations such as WRI Mexico, Casua Nature, and Civic Collaboration, the meeting aims to improve decision-making in the management of protected natural areas, ecosystems, and the communities that depend on them.

Lower Susquehanna Riverkeeper (Pennsylvania, U.S.) is set to reach a $1.15 million settlement with Hanover Foods to resolve several years of violations of the Clean Water Act. According to a recently submitted legal decree, Hanover Foods will pay a civil penalty of $575,000 to the government, plus an additional amount to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, for a total of $1.15 million. The original complaint in the 2021 lawsuit alleged that state and federal agencies claimed the company had breached its wastewater discharge permit limits for pollutants.Ted Evgeniadis, Lower Susquehanna Riverkeeper, emphasized that no one should be allowed to pollute York County's streams or the river, and that if they do, they must be held accountable for addressing the issue.

Suwannee Riverkeeper (Georgia, U.S.) reports significantly lower water levels in the upper Suwannee River. Without substantial rainfall, both fish and the communities that depend on the river are facing serious challenges. Some fish may become trapped in isolated pools, and according to John Quarterman from Suwannee Riverkeeper, the low water levels are making it extremely difficult for people to navigate the river with power boats. The Suwannee River Water Management District is monitoring groundwater levels, and its reports indicate that current levels are still well above record lows.

Waterkeeper Bahamas (Bahamas) has started conducting water quality testing and environmental monitoring in support of the temporary causeway currently under construction at the Taino Beach Bridge. This rehabilitation project aims to restore full access for both light and heavy vehicles. Waterkeepers Bahamas, along with its partners, is ensuring that this infrastructure improvement is implemented with strong environmental safeguards, particularly concerning the coastal and marine environment.
