For environmental "indiscretions" dating back to 2004, the Environmental Protection Agency is suing the State of Kansas for polluting waterways on US69, near Lawrence; US59, near Pleasanton, and US18, near Manhattan. Because KDOT failed to prevent erosion of silt into waterways, the lawsuit seeks $32,500 a day for problems dating to 2004, and $37,000 a day for problems dating to 2009.
