A major victory!! This is the latest turn in a major battle between several environmental groups and the state over how Kentucky regulators enforce such laws as the Clean Water Act at strip mines in the mountains of eastern Kentucky. The groups including Appalachian Voices, Waterkeeper Alliance, and Kentuckians for the Commonwealth, found in 2010 that some mining companies were faking water quality reports, adding up to potentially thousands of violations. The Court concludes that the consent decree ... is not fair, reasonable or in the public interest, Shepherd found. He wrote that violations so systemic and pervasive almost inevitably lead to degradation of the environment, and creates a regulatory climate where cheating pays.
