Talk about being caught with your pants down: the city of Oakland, which is suing oil companies over “climate change,†has been fined by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for polluting San Francisco Bay.
As Heartland.org reports, in late April, the EPA fined Oakland and the East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) $360,000 for permitting untreated sewage to flow into the San Francisco Bay. Oakland has been hit with fines before for sewage discharges; in 2014, EBMUD and the seven communities it serves, including Oakland and Berkeley, paid $1.5 million in civil penalties and were required to repair 1,500 miles of pipes over a 21-year period.
