More smoke and mirrors from the state.

The water rock and sand from a washplant is not pollution per the epa and case law. You keep quoting dredge and fill ops where the material comes from another place "point source pollution" taking dirt from in or around a watercourse and simply adding water then de-watering said material does not make it a pollutant. Water from a coal mine however is a totally different thing. Again you do not understand your own info.

Why don't you back up your claims with quotes from legal docs and links to the docs?

After all that you have posted/claimed that was proven incorrect I would go out and look at the sky if you said it was blue!

You didn't read the Appeal Courts decisions that I posted in my previous posts. Read them and then tell me that returning sediment from a waterway back to the same waterway is not a violation of the CWA. Also notice the cases cited

I dont understand my own info? LoL!

The screenshot is a closeup of the courts decision and multiple case histories. Its the same screenshot that you just replied to and said that rock and sand were not pollution and that the epa and case history back up your statement.

You posted the complete opposite of what you read!

Reintroduction of sediments back into the same waterbody is a violation of the CWA! The appellant court and the epa decisions concur.

Please post a legal doc to back up your claims!

You mean this Supreme Court decision about the addition of pollutants from 2013 2cmorau? :thumbsup:


LOS ANGELES COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT v. NATURAL RESOURCES DEFENSE COUNCIL


The flow of water from an improved portion of a navigable waterway into an unimproved portion of the same waterway does not qualify as a "discharge of a pollutant" under the CWA. See South Fla. Water Management Dist. v. Miccosukee Tribe, 541 U. S. 95, 109-112 (holding that the transfer of polluted water between "two parts of the same water body" does not constitute a discharge of pollutants under the CWA).

If one takes a ladle of soup from a pot, lifts it above the pot, and pours it back into the pot, one has not "added" soup or anything else to the pot.
