Jun. 25, 2012Summary
The U.S. Supreme Court agreed to review Los Angeles County Flood Control v. Natural Resources, a case from the 9th Circuit's Court of Appeals involving potential violations of the Clean Water Act (CLA) caused by the County's storm infrastructure. Los Angeles County discharged storm runoff into the Los Angeles River from various points, allegedly causing an increase in river pollution. The question presented here is whether there is a "discharge" under the CLA when water from a navigable waterway flows through a storm system and then is transferred back later within the same body of water.
