Polluters to Face Even Less Resistance from EPA in Second Bush Term.

Clean Air Act enforcement is at a near stand still. Only nine such lawsuits were filed by the EPA from January 19, 2001, through January 18, 2004, compared to 61 in the three years prior to January 19, 2001.

Clean Water Act enforcement is off sharply. This category of lawsuits declined from 56 between 1998 and mid-January 2001, to only 22 between 2001 and mid-January 2004.

Hazardous waste law cases are way down. Lawsuits for violation of federal hazardous waste law (the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act) dropped from 19 to only five over the comparable three-year time periods.
