THE SUPREME COURT’S DECISION IN
S.D. WARREN CO. v. MAINE:
SEEING THEFORESTFOR THE TREES OR FLOODING THE VALLEY?
On May 15 the Supreme Court unanimously held in S.D. Warren Co. v.
Maine Board of Environmental Protection that the mere flow of water
through an existing dam constitutes a “discharge” regulated by the Clean
Water Act. In so holding, the Court affirmed a state’s authority to require
federally licensed hydroelectric projects to comply with state water-quality
standards. This decision, arising in the context of federal and state power in the area of licensing
infrastructure projects, is the firstenvironmental decision of the Roberts Court.
Section 401 of the Clean Water Act requires “[a]ny Applicant for a federal license or permit to
conduct any activity . . . which may result in a discharge into navigable water[s]” to obtain a
certification from the state in which the discharge originates. The statute further requires that
any effluent limitations and other requirements set forth in the certification become conditions
on the federal license or permit. The Federal Power Act, in turn, grants the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC) exclusive authority to license hydroelectric projects on
navigable waters of the United States.
