A police officer speaks to Greenpeace activists aboard an inflatable where they displayed banners and floating PCB earning signs at the Washington Navy Yard. Documents obtained by Greenpeace and Sierra Club Legal Defense Fund revealed that that the U.S. Navy is knowingly releasing deadly pollutants in the form of PCBs and heavy metals (lead, mercury and arsenic) into the Anacostia
River in blatant violation of the Clean Water Act, and the
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.
