The Miccosukee Tribe of Florida has put the Environmental Protection Agency on notice for its response to the cleanup of the Everglades.

At issue is a state law that purports to delay the cleanup schedule. The tribe and environmentalists say the EPA failed in its duty to determine whether the law violates the federal Clean Water Act and whether pollution limits set by the state are valid.

The tribe and environmentalists sued a water district over Clean Water Act violations. The U.S. Supreme Court in March returned the suit to a lower court for further proceedings.
