Supreme Court Supports State Stream‐Flow Limits
A city and local utility district in Washington wanted to build a hydroelectric project on the Dosewallips River, a Class AA water. The project would reduce water flow in the relevant part of the river to a minimal residual flow of 65‐155 cfs. The state issued a S401 certification requiring, among other things, a minimum streamflow between 100 and 200 cfs. The state supreme court upheld the restriction. The city and utility appealed to the US Supreme Court, which ruled that a state may impose conditions on certification under the Clean Water Act if necessary to enforce a designated use contained in the state's water quality standards.
