Justices Give Everglades Dispute Back to Florida
- Share via
The Supreme Court, sidestepping a major decision on the government’s power to regulate clean water, told a Florida court to reconsider a pollution dispute involving the Everglades.
The ruling extends a six-year fight between the 500-member Miccosukee Indian tribe and a water district the Indians accuse of illegally dumping pollutants.
The South Florida Water Management District dumps as much as 423,000 gallons a minute of runoff into the Everglades, including 189,000 acres the state leased to the tribe and promised to keep in its natural state.
