Railroad Sues County Over Pollution | Vancouver News

A railroad company is suing Clark County, claiming it’s being unfairly blamed for stormwater pollution violations tied to heavy equipment use and wetland disturbances. Despite facing hefty EPA fines, the railroad argues the county knew about drainage issues since 1996 and even created faulty maps in 2008 that were never corrected—yet continued approving development based on them for years. The railroad’s president accuses the county of knowingly misrepresenting environmental data and dodging responsibility when the system finally failed. The lawsuit alleges the county ignored its own permit requirements and filed false reports. No official response from Clark County has been issued as the case remains pending with no court date set.
