Environmental groups and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection reached a legal settlement requiring new cleanup plans for nine freshwater springs in Florida, a state with one of the world’s largest concentrations of springs.
The agreement, announced earlier this month, compels the state to address pollution impacting these vital water sources. These springs provide much of the state’s drinking water and support ecosystems.
The settlement stems from a lawsuit filed by the groups against the state over failures to meet legal requirements for spring protection.
