JANUARY 14, 2021

District of Columbia Attorney General Karl Racine filed a lawsuit against Rodgers Brothers, a construction materials processing and recycling facility, over violations of the District’s Water Pollution Control Act. The complaint alleged that the operators ignored citations issued by the District’s environmental agency, and “repeatedly have allowed waste, dirt, and debris from their facility to discharge and leech into common space and waters, leading to persistent water quality violations.”
