From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
2013 United States Supreme Court case
Decker v. Northwest Environmental Defense Center, 568 U.S. 597 (2013), was a United States Supreme Court case in which the court held that a provision of the Clean Water Act governing challenges to Environmental Protection Agency actions, 33 U.S.C. § 1369(b), does not prohibit a citizen suit under Section 1365 when the suit is against an alleged violator and seeks to enforce an obligation imposed by the CWA or its regulations. The court also held that the case was not moot due to regulations issued in the interim. The case was consolidated with Georgia-Pacific West, Inc. v. Northwest Environmental Defense Center.
