Filing Clean Water Act citizen suit challenging the filing of wetlands without a permit

The Clinic co-counseled with a local law firm to represent Galveston Baykeeper in challenging the filling of wetlands by a Houston area developer without a permit.  Clinic students sent the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers a request for a jurisdictional determination, drafted a Clean Water Act notice of intent to sue, and provided research and litigation assistance. The case settled, resulting in the preservation of wetland acreage.
