DEC. 2, of Justices limit water pollution suits By AARON EPSTEIN Free Press Washington Staff WASHINGTON The Supreme Court, handing a setback to environmentalists, ruled unanimously Tuesday that private citizens and groups may not sue polluters for damages for past violations of the U.S. Clean Water Act. Environmentalists said that the decision would hamper their efforts to combat water polluters during periods of weak government enforcement. In a second 8-0 ruling, this one involving a New Jersey case entitled Karcher vs.

May, the justices declined to decide the constitutionality of various state laws providing for a moment of silence in public school classrooms. But it left intact a federal appeals court decision that declared the New Jersey moment-of-silence law to be an unconstitutional legislative effort to promote prayer in the schools. The invalidated New Jersey statute provided a period of silence for "private and quiet contemplation or introspection." obituaries DAVID M. CRELLIN, 61 DETROIT FREE 1987 Supreme Court roundup TUESDAY'S water pollution ruling, in Gwaltney of Smithfield vs. Chesapeake Bay Foundation, focused on a provision of the Clean Water Act of 1972, which gives citizens the authority to sue polluters when the government chooses not to do so.

But, Justice Thurgood Marshall wrote Tuesday for the Supreme Court, citizen suits are intended to stop continuing water pollution, not to remedy past violations. Only the federal and state governments may use the act to seek penalties for illegal pollution wholly in the past, Marshall declared. The decision invalidated a $1.28 million penalty against Gwaltney, a producer of pork products, for discharging pollutants into the Pagan River near Smithfield, 87 times between 1981 and 1984. 1 It was the largest penalty ever imposed in a citizen enforcement suit under the act. In February 1984, two environmental groups, the Chesapeake Bay Foundation and the Natural Resources Defense Council, sent a legally required notice of their intention to sue to Gwaltney, the U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency and Virginia's water pollution agency. The company's last reported violation occurred in May 1984, one month before the environmental organizations filed suit. A federal appeals court concluded that the federal law could be read to cover "unlawful conduct that occurred only prior to the filing of a lawsuit as well as unlawful conduct that continues into the present." But Marshall said citizen suits are "meant to supplement rather than to supplant governmental action" and that "the purpose of notice to the alleged violator is to give it an opportunity to bring itself into complete render unnecessary a citizen suit." BEVERLY CHARLES, a law professor who analyzed the case for the American Bar Association, said, "This is a troubling decision because it was a case against a flagrant violator who turned off the spigot and stopped polluting only one month before the suit was filed. "The practical implication is that in periods of lax enforcement, such as now, it will be a lot tougher for citizen actions to succeed," Charles said. She cited a General Accounting Office study showing that, in recent years, EPA enforcement actions against water polluters declined substantially while citizen suits climbed.

A Senate committee reported two years ago that citizen suits "have deterred violators and achieved substantial compliance gains."
