Limitations Of Sovereign Immunity Under The Clean Water Act: Empowering States To Confront Federal Polluters, Corinne Beckwith Yates

Michigan Law Review

This Note considers whether civil penalties that states impose on federal agencies for violations of NPDES permits arise under federal law and thus are covered by the Clean Water Act's waiver of sovereign immunity - an issue the Supreme Court is scheduled to address during the 1991 term. Part I outlines the history of the Clean Water Act, discussing Supreme Court decisions and statutory amendments that affect the sovereign immunity provision. Part II explains the mechanics of the NPDES state permit process and examines, through analysis of statutory provisions, the degree of control retained by the EPA over individual states …

Environmental Law, Edward A. Kazmarek, W. Scott Laseter

Mercer Law Review

Environmental law matured during the last decade to occupy a leading role in American jurisprudence. News of the dominance of environmental issues will come as no surprise to anyone practicing law today. At least one attorney in almost every private law firm specializes in environmental law, and most larger law firms devote entire departments to the field. As environmental law grows more and more complex, staying abreast of its sometimes shocking developments becomes increasingly difficult.

Misusing Procedural Devices To Dismiss An Environmental Lawsuit—Lugan V. National Wildlife Federation, 110 S. Ct. 3177 (1990), Michael J. Shinn

Washington Law Review

In Lujan v. National Wildlife Federation, the Supreme Court upheld a grant of summary judgment against the National Wildlife Federation for lack of standing. The Court held that the federation failed to sufficiently claim specific injury to federation members. The Court also stated in dicta that the federation's claims were not ripe for review. The opinion does not apply precedent regarding summary judgment to the standing inquiry, and fails to apply precedent regarding ripeness to the facts of the case. This Note examines the reasoning of the Lujan Court, and compares the results reached with those suggested by unapplied precedents. …
