Partner Duke McCall was quoted in an article from the Courthouse News Service about the United States Supreme Court’s consideration of a case contesting the government’s ability to regulate wetlands. Duke discussed the effect of the court adopting a more restrictive standard of wetland regulations.
“According to a recent Army Corps survey, approximately 70% of the water bodies currently protected by the Clean Water Act may no longer be protected if the Court adopts the more restrictive interpretation articulated by the late Justice Scalia,” Duke said.
