The Ogeechee Riverkeeper organization filed a lawsuit Friday against the Georgia Environmental Protection Division. The suit claims EPD failed to protect citizens and honor their right to have input on a recent consent order against a textiles plant blamed for a massive fish kill.In May, around 38,000 fish went belly up along a 70-mile stretch of river south of King America Finishing, a textiles plant in Dover, between Statesboro and Sylvania, in Screven County.The public was warned to stay out of the water and to not consume fish caught in the river, but the warnings came days after the fish kill was initially reported. A private lawsuit filed by citizens against the plant claims damage to personal health from swimming in the river as well as damage to property and interference with use of property.An EPD investigation found what some citizens suspected all along; the plant’s discharge included formaldehyde, ammonia and other toxic pollutants that are harmful to the environment and were being discharged in violation of the plant’s permits.EPD spokesman Kevin Chambers said Friday he could not comment on legal matters.
