How is the clean up of the contaminated rivers in North Carolina and Virginia resolved?

Don't place anyone one "on the dole." No inclusive environmental groups to oppress by legislating their ability to sue when the states closes down the clean up.

The clean up needs to be conducted through the authority of the US EPA Superfund capacity and the US Army Corp of Engineer dredging methodology.

Duke Energy is to be responsible for ALL THE CLEAN UP including any reimbursement to the EPA's Superfund and the US Army Corps oversight. 

End of discussion.

When a third party is overseeing the clean up it completely dissolves any and all conflict of interest. We know there is an inappropriate relationship between the NC Governor and Duke Energy. Any involvement by the State of North Carolina government that not only looked the other way, but, is being investigated for actively demoralizing DNR to the point of manipulating fines and outcomes; is gross malpractice of any judicial right to relief by the people of NC and Virginia.

There is no 'agreement' with the state governments that can be called anything but corruption. This is The Clean Water Act and it has federal jurisdiction. There will be no agreement between anyone in these circumstances that will hold water. Excuse the pun. This is a federal issue and there is no resolving it without the proper jurisdictional authority and oversight. Anything short of that reality is pure corruption, skirting the issue and seeking to dissolve Duke Energy of wrong doing.

WHERE IS THE NEW LEGISLATION FROM NORTH CAROLINE ENFORCING THE CLEAN WATER ACT to prevent this from ever happening again? It doesn't exist. Why? Because the state will dissolve the agreement as soon as it is signed and will not return to court to enforce any standards and the clean up will end. Now, why would an administration as corrupt as the McCrory administration ever sign legislation or write an executive order that demands enforcement of federal parameters as set by The Water Act?

North Carolina's executive administration is already in violation of the federal laws and the federal laws are still law of the land. In invoking substandard outcomes in the past, present and future, it is a foregone conclusion the McCrory administration are a bunch of zealot anarchists. The Clean Water Act is the law of the land, no different than Rowe v Wade, The Clean Air Act and The Endangered Species Act. These governors are anarchists and allow such behavior by their state legislators. They not only allow it by their signature to legislation that is illegal they encourage as seen with The Voting Rights Act.
