a coalition of environmental groups
(Coalition) allege that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) violated the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) because it
did not adequately respond to the Coalition’s petitions to use its
CWA authority over water quality to address nitrogen and
phosphorous pollution in the nation’s waterways. Nitrogen and
phosphorous are key ingredients in fertilizer, and runoff from corn
and soybean farms and pastures containing these nutrients has
been identified as the primary cause of a polluted “dead zone” in
the Mississippi River Basin and the Gulf of Mexico.
