Description

Following what C.D. "Bud" Varnadore considered to be various acts of retaliation for protected activity during the course of his employment at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, he filed three complaints with the Secretary of Labor under the whistleblower provisions of seven environmental statutes: the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. Â§ 7622(b); the Toxic Substances Control Act, 15 U.S.C. Â§ 2622(b); the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974, 42 U.S.C. Â§ 300j-9(i)(2); the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, 33 U.S.C. Â§ 1367(b); the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, 42 U.S.C. Â§ 9610(b); the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974, 42 U.S.C. Â§ 5851(b); and the Solid Waste Disposal Act, 42 U.S.C. Â§ 6971(b). The Secretary concluded that Varnadores first complaint was time-barred; then, a newly created entity called the Administrative Review Board concluded that Varnadores second and third complaints were not valid for various reasons.
