Nonprofit sues Sacramento County over alleged dumping of sewage into waterways
In a lawsuit filed Thursday, a local nonprofit accused Sacramento County of violating the Clean Water Act by dumping raw sewage and other pollutants into local waterways. The California Coastkeeper Alliance alleges waste has been illegally dumped into the Mokelumne River, Dry Creek, Morrison Creek, the American River and the Sacramento River by the Sacramento Sewer District. The suit claims the dumping is “ongoing and continuous” and poses health risks to those who come into contact with sewage.
