A district court granted summary judgment for an environmental group in a lawsuit alleging that an equestrian center was unlawfully discharging pollutants into waters of the United States. The group argued the center discharged wastewater into adjacent waters without an NPDES permit, which it was required to obtain as a concentrated animal feeding operation (CAFO). The court found the center was a CAFO, and that it discharged pollutants into waters of the United States without a permit. It granted summary judgment for the group.
