“An environmental group has sued the U.S. Navy, alleging that the military is polluting San Diego Bay by discharging storm water loaded with toxins. The suit, filed Tuesday in federal court in San Diego by Coastkeeper, claims the Navy and the Department of Defense have allowed zinc, copper and other contaminants to enter the bay at nearly 400 times the legal limit. Coastkeeper asked the court to stop polluting and force the Navy to restore the bay, which could cost tens of millions of dollars.” (06/28/07)
