Ohio Valley Environmental Coalition V. Fola Coal Company, Llc, Emily A. Slike Apr 2017

Ohio Valley Environmental Coalition V. Fola Coal Company, Llc, Emily A. Slike

Public Land & Resources Law Review

Disregarding CWA regulations, WVDEP allowed for a state coal mining company, Fola, to discharge pollutants into the Stillhouse Branch without regard for water quality violations. Fola claimed that because it held a WV/NPDES permit, it was shielded from any liability so long as the company followed the permit’s provisions, even if its discharge violated CWA water quality standards.


Hawkes Co. V. United States Army Corps Of Engineers, Sarah M. Danno Apr 2017

Hawkes Co. V. United States Army Corps Of Engineers, Sarah M. Danno

Public Land & Resources Law Review

A peat mining company will not be required to obtain a permit under the Clean Water Act to discharge dredged and fill material into wetlands. The United States District Court for the District of Minnesota held that the United States Army Corps of Engineers fell short in its attempts to establish jurisdiction over the wetlands by twice failing to show a significant nexus existed between the wetlands and navigable waters. Further, the district court enjoined the Corps from asserting jurisdiction a third time because it would force the mining company through a “never ending loop” of administrative law.


Lewis V. Clarke, Lillian M. Alvernaz Apr 2017

Lewis V. Clarke, Lillian M. Alvernaz

Public Land & Resources Law Review

The nation to nation relationship between tribes and the federal government is unique. Within that relationship, the federal government acknowledges and respects tribal sovereignty. An important aspect of sovereignty is sovereign immunity. Lewis v. Clarke confronts the applicability of sovereign immunity through an extension of tribal sovereignty over an employee defendant. After having heard oral argument, the United States Supreme Court could either reaffirm or severely limit the applicability of tribal sovereign immunity to “arms” of a tribe. While the lower court analyzed tribal sovereign immunity by considering the damages sought, the Supreme Court opinion portends to extend far beyond …

Multi-Scaled Approaches For Protecting Montana's Watersheds And Water Resources, Elizabeth Yoder Apr 2017

Multi-Scaled Approaches For Protecting Montana's Watersheds And Water Resources, Elizabeth Yoder

Graduate Student Portfolios, Professional Papers, and Capstone Projects

The central theme carried among my four portfolio pieces is: using scientific and governmental approaches to conserve watershed health. For the purposes of this portfolio, I define watershed health as a very general term that describes the state of water quantity and quality that is available for human and ecosystem needs in a watershed. I see each of my portfolio pieces focusing on a different scale and method (i.e., science or government, including different levels of government, local, state and federal) for conserving watershed health. My first portfolio piece reviews water quality degradation caused by pharmaceuticals and personal care products …

Bitterrooters For Planning, Inc. V. Mont. Dep’T Of Envtl. Quality: Does Identity Matter? Evaluating The Parameters Of The Deq’S Authority To Investigate Prior To Its Issuance Of Groundwater Discharge Permits, Tim Brothwell

Montana Law Review Online

(1) Did the District Court err when it determined that the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (hereinafter “DEQ”) violated the Montana Environmental Policy Act (hereinafter “MEPA”) when it failed to consider the impact of the construction and operation of a proposed grocery-retail facility as a “secondary impact” to the issuance of a groundwater discharge permit? (2) Did the District Court err when it created a “test” for disclosing the identity of the future operator of the permit as a “requirement” of the groundwater discharge permit review process?

Standing Rock Sioux Tribe V. U.S. Army Corps Of Engineers, Jody D. Lowenstein Feb 2017

Standing Rock Sioux Tribe V. U.S. Army Corps Of Engineers, Jody D. Lowenstein

Public Land & Resources Law Review

The Standing Rock Sioux’s effort to enjoin the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ permitting of an oil pipeline was stifled by the United States District Court of the District of Columbia. In denying the preliminary injunction, the court held that the Tribe failed to show that the Corps violated the National Historic Preservation Act, and that the Tribe’s belated effort to litigate was futile after failing to participate in the consultation process.

Dealing With Mathematical Anxiety: Should One Size Fit All?, Jon Warwick Jan 2017

Dealing With Mathematical Anxiety: Should One Size Fit All?, Jon Warwick

The Mathematics Enthusiast

Many students who have to study mathematics as an enabling subject within higher education experience mathematical anxiety to a greater or lesser extent. This affliction can impact student learning and achievement in mathematics and so a number of strategies have been suggested for alleviating mathematical anxiety or at least moderating its effects. This paper reports on a comparison of the mathematical anxiety experienced by two groups of students each studying a different subject discipline. The results indicate that the groups have quite different levels of anxiety and the differing contributing factors between the groups suggest that approaches to remediation need …


Common Core And Stem Opportunities, Lane H. Walker, Helene J. Sherman Jan 2017

Common Core And Stem Opportunities, Lane H. Walker, Helene J. Sherman

The Mathematics Enthusiast

There is an increasing need for educators at all levels to equip more students with problem-solving skills that better fit our changing work force. Students are largely unaware of many science-, technology-, engineering-, and math-related (STEM) careers. They often do not understand the importance of those careers or what skills are required to pursue them. Students are exposed to some of those skills if they take Career Technical Education (CTE) classes, but rarely do they see the connections in their core math classes. Math teachers have pointed to their dense curricula as making STEM integration impractical. A study of the …


Mathematical Creativity For The Youngest School Children: Kindergarten To Third Grade Teachers’ Interpretations Of What It Is And How To Promote It, Yinjing Shen, Carolyn Pope Edwards Jan 2017

Mathematical Creativity For The Youngest School Children: Kindergarten To Third Grade Teachers’ Interpretations Of What It Is And How To Promote It, Yinjing Shen, Carolyn Pope Edwards

The Mathematics Enthusiast

Creativity is important for young children learning mathematics. However, much literature has claimed creativity in the learning of mathematics for young children is not adequately supported by teachers in the classroom due to such reasons as teachers’ poor college preparation in mathematics content knowledge, teachers’ negativity toward creative students, teachers’ occupational pressure, and low quality curriculum. The purpose of this grounded theory study was to generate a model that describes and explains how a particular group of early childhood teachers make sense of creativity in the learning of mathematics and how they think they can promote or fail to promote …


Reorganizing Algebraic Thinking: An Introduction To Dynamic System Modeling, Diana Fisher Jan 2017

Reorganizing Algebraic Thinking: An Introduction To Dynamic System Modeling, Diana Fisher

The Mathematics Enthusiast

System Dynamics (SD) modeling is a powerful analytical method used by professional scientists, academics, and governmental officials to study the behavior patterns of complex systems. Specifically through use of the Stella software, it is a method that I and others have used for over two decades with high school, and even middle school, math and science students. In this paper I describe an introduction to SD modeling intended for an algebra class (in either middle or high school). In the body of the paper, a nested sequence of simple bank account examples, increasing in complexity, is used to demonstrate a …

Mathematical Modeling Cycles As A Task Design Heuristic, Jennifer A. Czocher Jan 2017

Mathematical Modeling Cycles As A Task Design Heuristic, Jennifer A. Czocher

The Mathematics Enthusiast

There are many approaches to task design (Watson & Ohtani, 2015) from a large number of local and global design heuristics. The purpose of this paper is to present how mathematical modeling cycles, a popular way of describing mathematical modeling processes, were used as a task design heuristic.


Creating A More Accessible Environment For Our Users With Disabilities: Responding To An Office For Civil Rights Complaint, Donna E. Mccrea Jan 2017

Creating A More Accessible Environment For Our Users With Disabilities: Responding To An Office For Civil Rights Complaint, Donna E. Mccrea

Mansfield Library Faculty Publications

In 2012, a University of Montana student advocacy organization filed a complaint with the US Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights stating that unequal access to the university’s electronic and information technologies (EIT) resulted in discrimination against students with disabilities. This article shares ways in which the University of Montana, including its archives and special collections, responded to the resulting mandate that “employees must create, obtain, and maintain all EIT in a manner that ensures it is accessible to individuals with disabilities.” The author argues that a professional and ethical commitment to diversity, access, and use compels archivists and …
