"San Francisco has long relied on the Pacific Ocean for sewage disposal, especially during heavy rains, which overwhelms its old storm runoff system and overflows into the ocean."
"The city is now challenging federal regulations, seeking the Supreme Court's blessing to pollute the ocean occasionally under the Clean Water Act, which has raised concerns across the country."
"With 12 other states, the California Attorney General, and the Biden administration in opposition, San Francisco's legal gamble may undermine national environmental protections if successful."
"Frederick Liu from the EPA highlighted that San Francisco's outdated system results in 196 million gallons of sewage contaminating local beaches, showcasing the dire consequences of inaction."
