U.S. District Judge Finds That Dominion Power Violated Clean Water Act But Imposes No Penalties

Looks like the judge in this case “split the baby,” so to speak, giving something to everyone. In sum: “the Court finds that Dominion violated the CWA and finds it liable under Count I. The Court, however, finds that Dominion did not violate the express terms of the VPDES permits, so it finds Dominion not liable under Counts II and III. The Court imposes no penalties. The parties will suggest a remedial plan consistent with the Court’s Opinion”
