Abstract
On September 22, 1994, the Sierra Club and
other organizations filed a citizens suit against the United States
Environmental Protection Agency, in an effort to compel the EPA
to implement specific provisions of the Clean Water Act in
Georgia. Judge Marvin H. Shoob presided and ordered the EPA
to establish Total Maximum Daily Loads for Water Quality
Limited Segments in waters of Georgia. This paper presents the
details of that lawsuit.
