A California environmental group has sued the U.S. Forest Service to challenge the use of water from a national forest by bottled water company BlueTriton Brands.
A Southern California environmental group is suing the U.S. Forest Service for allowing bottled water company BlueTriton Brands to pipe water out of the San Bernardino National Forest. The nonprofit group Save Our Forest Assn. filed the lawsuit in federal court, arguing the Forest Service violated federal laws by allowing the company to continue piping water from boreholes and water tunnels in the San Bernardino Mountains.
argues that when the Forest Service granted the 2018 permit, it violated several laws — including the Federal Lands Policy Management Act, the National Forest Management Act, the Administrative Procedure Act and the National Environmental Policy Act. The group asked the court to nullify the agency’s most recent permit decision, and to bar officials from allowing water diversions until they carry out a new environmental review.
