Direct Compliance Not Required
Northwest Environmental Advocates (NWEA) filed a suit in 1991 alleging that Portland's practice during rainstorms of discharging raw sewage from 54 outfall points was not covered by permit and that the practice violated Oregon's water quality standards. Twelve of the outfalls drain into the Columbia River slough, and 42 drain into the Willamette River. The waterways are used for recreation. Because it is illegal to discharge pollutants without a permit, NWEA argued that the city was violating the Clean Water Act (CWA). The trial court ruled for the city.
