I'm looking to gather a few case studies where people filed complaints against a polluter (for air, water, nuisance, other permit or legal violations) and those complaints were recognized and addressed by an agency, or through the legal system. I'm looking for stories or other media that highlights examples of these.
Videos, podcast links, news articles and anecdotes welcome!
Thank you!!
Here's a recent one from Ronnie Hamrick, and the San Antonio Estuary Waterkeeper on nurdles from the Formosa plant ending up in the waterway. For years community members documented and filed permit violations with the EPA and state agency resulting in fines against the company. Now as a result of legal action and these documented complaints, there's a $50million settlement on this case against the company for their continued bad acting. The Formosa plant has also agreed to a zero pellet discharge moving forward.
