United States First Circuit

Where the information contained in a federal Clean Water Act (CWA) pre-suit notice identifies the potential plaintiffs, provides basic contact information, and allows the putative defendants to identify and remedy the alleged violations, the required contents of such pre-suit notice have been satisfied and a citizen enforcement action under the CWA may proceed, and here: 1) the district court erred in finding that the contents of plaintiffs' pre-suit Notice were insufficiently specific to satisfy the requirements; but 2) plaintiffs' CWA claims against defendant Yabroudy were properly dismissed.
