US Appeals Court Allows Environmentalists to Sue Suncor for Pollution

US Appeals Court Allows Environmentalists to Sue Suncor for Pollution

The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that environmental groups can sue Suncor for pollution in Commerce City, Colorado, if they can prove the state has not been stringent enough in its enforcement. This decision overturns a previous ruling by a U.S. district judge who dismissed the case, siding with Suncor's argument that Colorado had been enforcing pollution laws. The environmental coalition, including Earthjustice and the Sierra Club, argues that state actions have been insufficient, with fines being mere 'slaps on the wrist' for Suncor's violations. The court's decision allows the lawsuit to proceed, providing a platform for citizens to hold polluters accountable.

The Colorado Parks and Wildlife department is monitoring the situation and may declare an emergency fish salvage if game fish populations are threatened. The drought has also led to the closure of Boyd Lake to motorized boating and has affected other water bodies in the region.
