United States DC Circuit
Weaver's Cove Enery, LLC v. RI Dep't of Envtl. Mgmt., 07-1235
Petitions for review seeking a declaration from the circuit court that Massachusetts and Rhode Island waived their rights to deny certification of a proposed dredge-and-fill operation as compliant under the Clean Water Act are dismissed for lack of Article III standing as petitioner failed to show an injury caused by the state agencies that likely would be redressed by the declaration it sought.
