How does a ruling at the federal level affect or create 49 new differing regulatory jurisdictions? The Sacketts cause of action was against the federal EPA.
And the ruling was against the EPA's authority to regulate a wetland that was not contingent to a body of water. There is a wetland of about an acre adjacent to my property about 100 feet from a gut that my neighbors attempted to fill despite my advice that they couldn't do so. Some concerned citizen out for a walk in the neighborhood reported the piles of wood chips collected to be spread on the land and reported it. The MD State inspector gave them a limited amount of time to dispose of the chips or face legal consequences. Do you think that situation would change because of the Court's ruling? I'd like to see that mud hole filled. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Our platform is used in the private and public sectors. From state highways to pipelines to strip malls to restorations. Kavanaugh‘s concurring opinion was the correct call. Sadly, it wasn’t the majority opinion for the Sacketts winning their case. Uncertainty when it comes to regulation is never good for business. Like it or not, federal regulation is a better model than states when it comes to environmental protection. As for my business, this ruling will create so much additional permitting work that we’ll have to double our engineering staff by next year. Our customers will need the tools to sort through 49 new differing regulatory jurisdictions. |
