- Cwa and Esa: Nine Is a Party, Ten Is a Crowd National Association of Home Builders V. Defenders of Wildlife, 127 S. Ct. 2518 (2007)
In National Association of Home Builders v. Defenders of Wildlife the US Supreme Court ruled on the compatibility of two statutory sections, section 402(b) of the Clean Water Act (CWA) and section 7(a)(2) of the Endangered Species Act (ESA). This case was appealed from the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit following a suit by the Defenders of Wildlife against the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The Defenders of Wildlife sought a review of the EPA's decision to transfer pollution permitting authority to Arizona. The Supreme Court granted certiorari to determine whether an outside regulation can serve to harmonize two statutes that are seemingly incompatible. In this case, the evidence showed that the non-discretionary nature of the action required by the CWA allowed the EP...

- Coal Mining and Valley Fill Construction
Coal extraction in West Virginia is accomplished generally by underground or surface mining. BOTH methods of coal extraction require the placement of fill structures, commonly referred to as valley fills in acknowledgment of the steeply sloped terrain that exists in West Virginia within small, usually ephemeral and intermittent gullies and erosional features. Underground mining techniques, which account for the majority of West Virginias coal production, utilize machinery to drive tunnels under the surface of the land. These tunnels are situated in coal seams so as the machinery advances further underground, coal is removed. The tunnels are supported by drilling long bolts into the mine roof to consolidate the overlying material. Using a combined system of vehicle haulage and conveyor b...
