On March 4th, the Supreme Court voted 5-4 in favor of AGC of America and industry partners in the City and County of San Francisco v. EPA case. The decision helps ensure that permit holders can be certain that following their permit will protect them from enforcement actions.
My Thoughts ðŸ’
The article is paywalled but the conservative court is deregulating construction permits. I believe the state if California was using ambiguous language thus picking and choosing when a contractor was in compliance or violation of the Clean Water Act. Hopefully this leads to more clarity when
contractors are seeing a permit.
