    PACIFIC LEGAL ~~ J FOUNDATION January 10, 2020 Administrator Andrew R. Wheeler VIA CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Office of Administration Mail Code 1101A 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., N.W. Washington, DC 20460 Re: Petition for Rule Making for Procedures to Govern Clean Water Act Compliance Orders Dear Administrator Wheeler: Section 309( a) of the Clean Water Act authorizes the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to issue compliance orders against landowners and other persons for a variety of alleged violations of the Act. Such orders can impose crushing liability, yet under EPA' s existing regulations, the orders' recipients are entitled to no notice of their impending issuance, nor any opportunity to contest the bases for such orders. The enclosed Petition for Rule Making to Establish Notice- and- Hearing Procedures for Compliance Orders Issued Under Section 309( a) of the Clean Water Act- submitted on behalf of Pacific Legal Foundation as well as Michael and Chantell Sackett, the successful petitioners in Sackettv. EPA, 566 U.S. 120 ( 2012)- would remedy this " due process deficit" in EPA's enforcement practice. The proposed rule would guarantee that persons potentially subject to a compliance order would have the opportunity to defend themselves before the unleashing of such immense coercive and penal power. In addition to honoring the due process rights of compliance order targets, the proposed rule would satisfy the President' s recent order that all such objects of agency enforcement be given an opportunity to be heard " regarding the agency' s proposed legal and factual determinations."

This lawsuit is about the proper interpretation of the term “navigable waters” in the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. §§ 1362(12) and 1362(7). The Clean Water Act imposes severe criminal penalties for unpermitted discharges to “navigable waters.” Permitting is onerous and expensive, costing years of time and hundreds of thousands of dollars on average. What “waters” are “navigable” is thus a major question. In 1986, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Army Corps of Engineers (Army) adopted regulations (the 1986 Regulations) that interpreted the term “navigable waters” broadly to include extensive non-navigable waterbodies and features upstream of and even isolated from navigable-in-fact rivers and lakes. In 2015, the EPA and the Army replaced the 1986 Regulations with a new regulation (the 2015 Navigable Waters Definition) that reinterpreted “navigable waters” to include some but not all of the non-navigable - 1 - Case 1:19-cv-00988-JHR-SCY Document 24-1 Filed 04/27/20 Page 3 of 48 water features included in the 1986 Regulations.

This lawsuit is about the proper interpretation of the term “navigable waters” in the 24 Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1362(12) and 1362(7). The Clean Water Act is a strict liability statute 25 that imposes severe criminal penalties for unpermitted discharges to “navigable waters.” 26 Permitting is onerous and expensive, costing years of time and hundreds of thousands of dollars 27 on average. What “waters” are “navigable” is thus a major question.

  • Report on Charitable Organizations in Mississippi Page 2
    Page 1 Report on Charitable Organizations in Mississippi Page 2 Dear Fellow Mississippians: Mississippi continues to be one of the top-ranked states in the country supporting charitable giving. The generosity of our citizens is known nationally, and time after time our citizens have risen to the occasion to help Mississippians in need, as well as our fellow citizens across the country. Informed charitable giving helps ensure your hard earned money, property and services are dedicated to advance the core charitable purpose or mission of the organizations you support. Disclosure of charitable revenue and spending exposes unscrupulous groups who might prey upon the generosity of our citizens by lining their pockets under the guise of selfless motives. Additionally, transparency in financial reporting promotes the good work of credible organizations who are responsible stewards of your financial contributions and other support. For these reasons we are pleased to announce that the Report on Charitable Organizations in Mississippi is now available on our web site. This publication will enable you to make informed decisions on your charitable giving by presenting the financial activity for the charity’s most recent fiscal year. The Council of Better Business Bureaus recommends that at least sixty-five percent (65%) of total expenses of a charitable organization should be spent on program activities directly related to the organization’s purposes. Fundraising costs by the organization should not exceed thirty-five percent (35%) of related contributions. However, there are some instances when a departure from these standards would be reasonable. For example, newly created organizations may have higher administrative expenses due to start-up costs; and, large gifts or donor restrictions on the use of contributed funds could skew an organization’s apparent management of funds in either a favorable or unfavorable light.
