How frequently does the letter "s" appear in:
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) -- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is still exerting a permit power that chicken growers contend it doesn't have, so a federal judge said he won't dismiss a lawsuit by a West Virginia farmer the agency had accused of polluting the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
The EPA argued Lois Alt's lawsuit was rendered moot in December, when it withdrew violation notices and proposed fines against her Eight is Enough farm in Hardy County. But Alt, the West Virginia Farm Bureau and the American Farm Bureau want their day in court, claiming the EPA's actions in her case have implications for farmers throughout the region.
U.S. District Judge John Preston Bailey agreed last week, denying EPA's motion to dismiss. The agency had not yet filed a response as of Tuesday..
