Surfers ask judge to withhold approval of settlement agreement for U.S. Steel
Surfrider Foundation | December 29, 2019
Attorneys for the Surfrider Foundation have asked a federal judge to reject the government's motion to approve a consent decree for U.S. Steel, because ongoing violations have revealed the proposal is "a fundamental failure" and a civil penalty is "inadequate" and "unfair." Attorneys for Indiana and the U.S. government asked a U.S. District Court judge in November to approve a proposed consent decree, which included several changes in response to about 2,700 public comments.
