Oil Group Sues Over Calif. Pollution Rules

SOURCE: Associated Press

July 8, 2004 - An oil industry group has sued the California Coastal Commission to prevent it from enforcing pollution rules on drilling platforms in federal waters.

The lawsuit seeks an injunction to keep California from regulating discharges of wastewater and other pollutants from 22 oil platforms that are outside the three-mile limit of the state's coastal zone.

The Western States Petroleum Association filed the lawsuit Wednesday in federal court.
