Article Description
The Supreme Court has determined that the Endangered Species Act does not override the Clean Water Act and that states may issue water permits even if that could violate the ESA. The 5-4 decision on June 25 is a win for the Environmental Protection Agency and the construction industry and a defeat for environmental groups.
