Pacific Legal Foundation Communication, Current Cases:

Thanks Dave. I enjoy reading your NGP alerts and all of us here think about the major issues there.  Thanks for providing a great service!

You may have seen that we have two cases accepted at the Supreme Court, including a Clean Water Act challenge.  I know several years ago we had a case in Fairbanks (permafrost = wetlands) against the Corps of Engineers.  In Corps of Engineers v. Hawkes, we represent a Minnesota peat mining business that has been raked over the coals by the Corps.  The feds issued a jurisdictional determination that they control the property. The legal issue in play for justices — whether a property owner can directly challenge government in court when regulators label property as wetlands, subject to federal oversight.

Here’s our news release….
