I agree with them. Remember, the Clean Water Act is a Federal law that governs waterways shared between the states, like the Mississippi River or the Great Lakes. Waterways that are entirely inside a single state are the domain of state laws. Perhaps instead of bringing bogus Federal claims against companies in the area, they should concentrate on State laws. Surely California has a state law or two that says something about pollution in local streams or the bay.
