Fight to stop ‘Cop City’ over water pollution fears has day in court

Opponents tell judge that sediment runoff from police campus violates Clean Water Act and thus project should be halted

A federal judge has to decide whether sediment runoff from the controversial Cop City" police and fire department training center near Atlanta violates the Clean Water Act and is cause for stopping the project temporarily, after hearing both sides of the argument this week.

The judge may also dismiss the underlying environmental lawsuit, as defendants have asked the court.
