- Chattahoochee Riverkeeper files lawsuit over muddy water coming from Columbus construction site
The Chattahoochee Riverkeeper filed a federal lawsuit against SCorUSA, a Phenix City, Alabama-based developer, and the Aspire at Old Guard apartment complex in Columbus for alleged Clean Water Act violations. The lawsuit claims ongoing failure to control stormwater pollution from the construction site, which has damaged local waterways and aquatic life. City officials issued stop-work orders, but the environmental group argues local authorities have not adequately held the developers accountable.
