本周周報(bào)（2025年7月28日）

保護(hù)行動(dòng)動(dòng)態(tài)

美國佐治亞州的查塔胡奇河護(hù)水者最近在《紐約時(shí)報(bào)》一篇題為《隨著 Meta 不斷擴(kuò)張，鄰居們發(fā)現(xiàn)水龍頭干涸了》的文章中被引用。這篇報(bào)道探討了 Meta 在佐治亞州牛頓縣投資 7.5 億美元建設(shè)的數(shù)據(jù)中心如何導(dǎo)致當(dāng)?shù)厮Y源短缺。該設(shè)施每天約消耗 50 萬加侖水用于冷卻，而附近的居民 —— 有些就住在僅 1000 英尺遠(yuǎn)的地方 —— 報(bào)告說他們的水井正在干涸。如果不進(jìn)行重大的基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施升級(jí)，牛頓縣到 2030 年可能面臨水資源短缺。數(shù)據(jù)中心通常不披露用水量，這限制了監(jiān)管監(jiān)督，當(dāng)?shù)厮畡?wù)部門正提議改進(jìn)其回收設(shè)施以滿足日益增長的需求。在最近的一項(xiàng)研究中，有一家公司申請(qǐng)每天使用 900 萬加侖水。雖然 Meta 提出要進(jìn)行水井研究，但它并未對(duì)影響社區(qū)的水資源問題承擔(dān)責(zé)任。

美國加利福尼亞州的內(nèi)陸帝國護(hù)水者啟動(dòng)了一項(xiàng)新的極端高溫項(xiàng)目，用于繪制自然降溫區(qū)地圖。這個(gè)名為 “為每個(gè)人建設(shè)有韌性和賦能的區(qū)域（BREZE）” 的項(xiàng)目，旨在識(shí)別和繪制該地區(qū)內(nèi)現(xiàn)有的和潛在的、能提供自然降溫效果的綠色空間。BREZE 目前處于規(guī)劃階段，由極端高溫與社區(qū)韌性計(jì)劃資助，與社區(qū)行動(dòng)和環(huán)境正義中心合作開展。據(jù)州長辦公室稱，氣候變化正導(dǎo)致異常炎熱的天數(shù)變得更加頻繁和嚴(yán)重，影響著加利福尼亞州的各個(gè)社區(qū)。內(nèi)陸帝國護(hù)水者在過去兩年中一直在提高人們對(duì)內(nèi)陸帝國極端高溫的認(rèn)識(shí)，這為 BREZE 倡議奠定了基礎(chǔ)。

美國馬里蘭州的帕塔克森特河護(hù)水者弗雷德?塔特曼在公共廣播公司新聞學(xué)生報(bào)道實(shí)驗(yàn)室中亮相，他在節(jié)目中談到了自己的努力 —— 不僅通過訴訟和游說推動(dòng)變革來保護(hù)這條河流，還致力于傳承社區(qū)行動(dòng)的傳統(tǒng)。在電視和廣播領(lǐng)域取得成功的職業(yè)生涯后，塔特曼對(duì)這片水域產(chǎn)生了強(qiáng)烈的情感聯(lián)系，他在河邊長大，曾在河里玩耍、釣魚。帕塔克森特河護(hù)水者啟動(dòng)了一個(gè)充滿熱情的項(xiàng)目，旨在指導(dǎo)新一代。這個(gè)項(xiàng)目整合了各種活動(dòng)，讓人們能通過自己獨(dú)特的視角體驗(yàn)環(huán)境。塔特曼希望通過建立這樣的社區(qū)，能涌現(xiàn)出新一代的護(hù)水者。

孟加拉國的護(hù)水者組織最近在佩庫阿啟動(dòng)了一項(xiàng)為期一個(gè)月的植樹活動(dòng)。包括佩庫阿記者俱樂部創(chuàng)始主席以及鹽、漁業(yè)和農(nóng)業(yè)福利協(xié)會(huì)召集人在內(nèi)的特邀嘉賓出席了活動(dòng)。在發(fā)表講話后，嘉賓們通過植樹正式啟動(dòng)了這項(xiàng)活動(dòng)，并向?qū)W生們分發(fā)了果樹和用材林樹苗。孟加拉國護(hù)水者組織的佩庫阿鄉(xiāng)協(xié)調(diào)員德爾瓦爾?侯賽因宣布，作為這項(xiàng)倡議的一部分，將在佩庫阿的各個(gè)教育機(jī)構(gòu)種植和分發(fā)果樹及林木樹苗。

西弗吉尼亞州河源護(hù)水者的上級(jí)組織 —— 西弗吉尼亞州河流聯(lián)盟，最近就其針對(duì)科慕公司（FC, LLC）違反《清潔水法》的案件提交了聽證后簡(jiǎn)報(bào)的回應(yīng)。自 2024 年以來，科慕公司的華盛頓工廠排放的全氟辛酸替代品（HFPO-DA，即 “GenX 化學(xué)物質(zhì)”）超過了允許的排放標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，這些有毒的 “永久化學(xué)物質(zhì)” 被排入俄亥俄河 —— 這條河流是 500 萬人的飲用水源。

該組織正請(qǐng)求法院要求科慕公司遵守法律，尤其是在產(chǎn)量增加導(dǎo)致污染加劇的情況下，而該公司則辯稱，合規(guī)可能會(huì)導(dǎo)致就業(yè)崗位流失。有關(guān)初步禁令的裁決預(yù)計(jì)將在 9 月中旬庭審開始前作出。

NEWS FROM THE MOVEMENT

Chattahoochee Riverkeeper (Georgia, U.S.) was recently quoted in a New York Times article titled, “As Meta Built, Neighbors Saw Faucets Dry Up.” The story examines how Meta’s $750 million data center in Newton County, Georgia, is contributing to local water shortages. The facility uses about 500,000 gallons of water per day for cooling, and nearby residents, some living just 1,000 feet away, have reported that their wells are drying up. Newton County could face a water deficit by 2030 without major infrastructure upgrades. Data centers often do not disclose water usage, which limits regulatory oversight, and the local water authority is proposing improvements to its recycling facilities to meet the growing demand. In a recent study, one company requested permission to use nine million gallons per day. While Meta has offered to conduct a well study, it has not accepted responsibility for the water issues affecting the community.

Inland Empire Waterkeeper (California, U.S.) has launched a new extreme heat program to map natural cooling zones. This program, called Building Resilient and Empowering Zones for Everyone (BREZE), aims to identify and map existing and potential green spaces throughout the region that provide natural cooling. Currently in its planning phase, BREZE is funded through the Extreme Heat and Community Resilience Program in partnership with the Center for Community Action and Environmental Justice. According to the Governor’s Office, climate change is leading to more frequent and severe unusually hot days, impacting communities across California. Inland Empire Waterkeeper has spent the past two years raising awareness about extreme heat in the Inland Empire, which laid the foundation for the BREZE initiative.

Patuxent Riverkeeper, (Maryland, U.S.) Fred Tutman was featured on PBS News Student Reporting Labs, where he discussed his efforts not only to safeguard the river through lawsuits and lobbying for change but also to preserve the tradition of community activism. After a successful career in television and radio, Tutman felt a strong connection to the water, having grown up near it, playing and fishing in the river. Patuxent Riverkeeper has launched a passion project aimed at mentoring the new generation. This project integrates movements that allow individuals to experience the environment through their unique perspectives. Tutman hopes that by building this community, a new generation of river keepers will emerge.

Waterkeepers Bangladesh (Bangladesh) recently launched a month-long tree planting campaign in Pekua. Special guests, including the founding president of the Pekua Press Club and the Convener of the Salt, Fisheries, and Agriculture Welfare Association, attended the event. Following their speeches, the guests planted trees to officially inaugurate the campaign and distributed fruit and timber saplings to students. Delwar Hossain, the Pekua Upazila Coordinator for Waterkeepers Bangladesh, announced that as part of this initiative, saplings of fruit and forest trees would be planted and distributed across educational institutions throughout Pekua.

West Virginia Rivers Coalition, the parent organization for West Virginia Headwaters Waterkeeper (West Virginia, U.S.), recently filed a response to post-hearing briefs in its case against The Chemours Company FC, LLC for violating the Clean Water Act. Since 2024, Chemours’ Washington Works facility has exceeded permitted discharge limits for HFPO-DA, or "GenX chemicals," releasing toxic "forever chemicals" into the Ohio River, a drinking water source for 5 million people.

The organization is petitioning the court to require Chemours to follow the law, especially as increased production has led to more pollution, while the company argues that compliance could lead to job losses. A ruling on the preliminary injunction is expected before the trial begins in mid-September.

CAMPAIGN UPDATES

Today: PFAS Virtual Public Meeting

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is holding a virtual public meeting TODAY from 1:00 to 4:30 p.m. ET to receive comments on the national drinking water standard for PFAS. Despite overwhelming scientific evidence and public concern, the agency announced plans earlier this year to delay and weaken these critical protections. If you are unable to join the listening session, you can still submit written statements to Tracey Ward by COB, today. Please fill out this form to help us track participation and to receive easy-to-use talking points developed to support individuals and Waterkeeper groups who wish to comment.

Global Plastics Treaty Negotiations Resume Next Week

Negotiations to finalize a global plastics treaty resume next week at INC-5.2. From August 4–15, world leaders will gather in Geneva for the final scheduled round of talks aimed at tackling the plastic pollution crisis. After last year’s failure to reach an agreement, the pressure is on to deliver a strong, binding treaty that protects people and the planet. This is a critical opportunity to make our voices heard. In addition to this communications toolkit (English | Fran?ais | Espa?ol | 簡(jiǎn)體中文 | ?????), we have also released a Dive Into Democracy urging U.S. leaders to advocate for the strongest possible treaty. Waterkeeper Alliance, the Break Free From Plastics coalition, and other organizations will also present a united front in Geneva to support advocacy efforts and elevate community voices.

Draft Sludge Risk Assessment Comment

The U.S. EPA has extended the deadline for the Draft Sludge Risk Assessment until August 14. We invite U.S. Waterkeeper groups to join this comment addressing the risk PFOA and PFOS pose when they are spread through the land application. If interested, please fill out this form by our internal deadline of COB, July 31.

Submit Your PHMSA Comment Today!

The U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) is accepting public comments on a new rulemaking through August 4. This action is in response to a federal mandate to “Unleash American Energy and Improve Government Efficiency” and may seek to “eliminate undue burdens on the identification, development, and use of domestic energy resources.” We are deeply concerned that this could lead to weakened pipeline safety regulations—putting public and environmental health at risk. Waterkeeper Alliance will be submitting a comment, and we strongly encourage U.S.-based Waterkeeper groups to do the same as water defenders in support of strong pipeline safety protections. If you’re interested in submitting a comment, please fill out this form to receive a template to help guide your submission.

Save the Dates: Biogas and Slaughterhouse Webinars

Waterkeeper Alliance will host an interactive webinar to discuss U.S. state policy issues surrounding factory farm biogas on Wednesday, August 20, at 12:00 pm CT/1:00 pm ET. Waterkeeper groups globally are encouraged to attend or reach out to Campaign Manager Patience Burke if they would like to learn more about factory farm biogas.

Waterkeeper Alliance will host a webinar on Wednesday, September 24, at 12:00 pm CT/1:00 pm ET to discuss next steps following the U.S. EPA’s final action on the slaughterhouse rule. Waterkeeper Alliance, Black Warrior Riverkeeper, Cape Fear Riverkeeper, and Waterkeepers Chesapeake have been engaged in a six-year effort to secure the strongest possible federal water quality standards for slaughterhouses and rendering facilities. The U.S. EPA is required by consent decree to take final action by August. We will use this webinar as an opportunity to discuss details of the final rule and subsequent related advocacy.

Calendar invites for both webinars were shared with members of the PFPW listserv. If you are not on that listserv and would like to be added, please contact Patience.
