Abstract
The Clean Water Act allows citizens to sue the EPA to “perform any act or duty…which is not discretionary,” and citizen suits have been influential in holding EPA responsible to the ideals of the CWA. This article describes the outcomes of three complex federal consent decrees to clean up waters and protect species in Pennsylvania, Delaware and Virginia through 2011.
