which is clearly the subject of our

conversation today

oward that end ve Jlot~d l=-ke to

jcst br~efly call to the Boards attention a

short history of the case going back to 1998

and 1999 when drainage ditches were

constructed on Smt~ Fanrs 1 some wooded

areas dra~ni1g that that land The - shy

beorepound tne proJec~ t-negan anabull was under t aken

Mr Boyd contacted and met with the Army Corps

of asked for ~heir opinion

concerning jurisdictional issues and otter

issues concerning a permit The corps of

Engineers certainly never indicated in any

fashion that there was a problen at that time

jurisdictior~aly consderirg tle wor~ that was

a~ticipated to occur

Of course were here today largely

because the whole jurisdictional issue has

been turned up Ol ts head by Rapanos in 20061

and can certainly say that Ve Vould be in a

very different situation were it back to 1989

dealing with iss~es when then the only thing

that was necessary for the Agency to prove was

that there were waters of ~he United Sta~es

ncluding wetlands that is lands that vere

inundated or satura~ed by surface or ground

water s~ch that ~hey could and ordinarily did

support a prevalence for vegetation typically

adapted to life in saturated soil conditions

We always referred on the Riverside Bayview

case and extended the adjacency of the

wetlands to a navigable water beyond that

such tha any tine thac there were wetla~ds

that they were conside-ed to be

In the Rapanos Case the court

talks abo~t the expanding jurisdiction by the

Corps of Engi~eers and cetainly by

extension to EPA when in many of those

circumstances EPA was pushing the Corps to

expa1d their jurisdiction And the court

talked about how the Corps rad exparded ~ts

TUDGE SHEEHAN What do you think

cf the governme~ts argument trat either test

can apply as the First and Eighth Circuits

have held

MS WI~CHER well clearly a

nillnber of circuits have held that either test

Itould apply f ard in this case we we

believe that the evidence despicB what the

ALJs have found we believe the evidence

clea~ly shows that under neither test would

this area considered to be jurisdictional

here the forest -- the big picture is thatI

Rapanos is a dramatic shift in the way

busir~ess as usual has been done aL these

agencies from 1972 ~ntil 2006 It is -shy

in 2001 you had a little deviation here but

its a ilge dfference and what we find in

the brief -- and what we find in the brief of

t1e govermnent in this case is lot much of a

differerce from how the law previously lttas

interpreted and Ill -- Ill just go ahead

aYld address thae ssae and that is that the

the strongest argument it appears that

he government nakes in its brief dealing

with the significant nexus test is that

wetlands are ~rrponart ~1etlards provide

valuable functions and even Rapanos case

notes that the Clean V~ater Ac has been very

important and serves an important public

interests and Section 404 and the wetla~ds

laws i-l particuar provide ar~ irportant public

interest

JUJGE WOLGAST Coud you describe

JUDGE SHEEHAN But the Kennedy

tea says that if wetlands aloLe or in

combination with other wetlands have that

kind of effect

115 WILCHER Wetlands alone or in

corrbinato1 with otrer wetlands or in

combination lith the uplands the arguments

~ha t tbey ace laking wOClld apply equally to

uplands and as the court noted in the Rapanos

decision applying some of these tests as the

government histori cally has applied them to

say that they are jurisdictional sirrply

because hey have value and may be somewhat

miles aay hut may have some connection or

some val~e ~i~es away being speculative in

undsystard aboJt your argument 1s are these

aspects insufficient or would they be

sufficient if in your mind there was more

evidence of the connection of these attributes

to the Nansemond or Elizabeth Rivers

MS iILCHER EPA -- the govenment

cant simply say that wetlands are valuable

because they are-- help prevent flooding and

not show that they would help prevent flooding

in this particular case and that it would

significantly help prevent flooding in t~is

partcular case lrJha ttey have done toe

MS IILCHER Yes understand

Ie 1 1 what Justice Kennedy said was to talk

abmlt he fJay the Corps nac typically

regulated wetlalds and then to say absent

more speciic regulations however the Corps

must establish a significant nexus on a case

by case bBSS wler it seeks to regulate

wetlands based on adjacency to non-navigable

tributaries and then it goes on to say given

the potential over breath of the Corps yen s

regulations this showing is necessary to

avoid unreasoDable applications of the

statute

The justice wrote I no~ just a

~exus if the COurt had only said there has to

be a nexus then o~e would have a different

burden of proof in this case the court said

a significant nexus and we have to assnne

that a significant nexus is meaningful that

those words mean SOIEethi1g So theres a -- at

least a two-step process One to show that

theres a nexus and the other is to show that

JUDGE SlEIN But its not a

MS iILCHER Thats right a

significant nexus And the sigrificart rexus

must -- and if YOu read through the rest of

the case it talks abolt hm -- that in order

to regulate land as water there must be some

type of impact on the water

JUDGE SHEEHAN Justice Kennedy

also uses a phrase that think is pertinent

here r he says that the how -- how the proof is

determined has to be done in a practical way

ard i almost sounds as if what you I re

requiing is that the governrrent set up flow

meers or pour a vial of discharge into a

ditch and see if it eventually ends up in the

Chesapeake or do something on a very

impractical scale to prove ~he connectio~

really important issue The governrrent has to

was dispute about ithat hat nean f but not

exacly what the physical characteristics of

J1DGE WOLGAST Counsel coud you

may be flow moderation carbon sequestration

there may be some evidence that the government

hasnt shmlTI a nexus between those

characteristics thez-e would be such things as

denitrification and that is the microbes

tralsports that food source dowYlsream to

that actually comes from one of respondents

experts Dr Cahoot 1110 photographed it

leaving the site I cant find the photo at

the marneYlt f blt I 11 describe what he says

Foaing a he confluence of the ditch

leaving the property with ditches along the

property boundary near the railroad This foam

vias also sampled and examined microscopically

--- it contained primary plant debris some

peller ald rllnero-lS sma oil droplets These

oil droplets in my opinion were probably

plant oils derived froI decomposition of the

organic matter in this area That description

correlates perfectly with the description in

the testimony in tZ1e remand hearng about what

primary production s the transport of

particulate and dissolved organics downstream

as a food sOJce So the -Jse 0 the -- t~1e

posi tion on the type of evidence that you

need to show nexus of

characteristics you see on site to the

navigable waters

gt1S SHAtvET My positio1 is tha we

met it exactly and I would refer you to

Justice Kennedys opinion Justice Kenledy

ide~tified the type of functions that he would

consider to form a significant nexus

traditional navigable waters and those are

p~ecisely the functions that were identified

on this site Specifically Justice Ker-nedy

refers to slowirg COt-C of surface runoff r

filtration and purification -- that would be

in on 547 US 773 to 75 He sta~es with respect

to weta1ds f the rationale for the Cleal ~fater

Act regulation is as the Corps as recognized

that vetlands can perforrl cri tica2 functioES

re2-ated to the integrity of other waters

functions such as pollutant trapping -- in

other words l denirifcatior~ -- flood control

flow moderation and ruriOff storage

based On adjacency

JUDGE SHEEHamp~ on page 41 of your

brief you quote some of the tesciroo1Y of the

first ALJ hearing I which sounds a lit~le more

entative to me tha1 youre souidir_g today

about the substa1tial nexus test being met

The brief~ at page 41 reads that these

wetlands are more likely to perform

denitrification more likely to allow for

suspended settlements -- sediments to settle

out~ more likely to support a different suite

of wildlife species that to me is

lar-guage ~rats ~ot qui~e as powerful as

saying there is a substantial nexus met here

that just sounds -- can yo~ address what seems

to be more diffident language in your brief

than what youre articulating today

MS SHAMET Well as Your Honor

in the brief is from the 2003 hearing before

JUDGE SHEEHAN What drain

MS SHAMET This is the portion of

drait six- seven as it leaves the si-se

crosses unde~~ea~h the railroad tracks to che

west and leaves the site We would also noce

chat in che 2003 hearing it was established

watermark for the duration of the streams

leaving the site from the time they leave the

site cntil the time they wa~king distance

away hit traditionally navigable waters Now

whIle Justice Scalia said that existence of an

ordinary high waternark in and of itself does

not estabJish jurisdicion it does remair a

fact on the ground that shows the preseTlce of

f~c~J O-1r b~ief did cite in a footnote a

number of cases that describe what an ordinary

high water mark means and what it basically

means is that theres water there on enoJgh

fai t accompli Couple other points There I s

bee~ a ~w~er of debates i~ t~e b~ie= about

briefs about whether or not there are in

fact wetlands on the sice and whether or not

they extend all the way to the tributaries

First of all ~othi~g in Rapanos altered the

EEe~gy and Water Developmert Appropriations

Act of 1993 Public Law 102377 106 Statutory

at Large 1315 in which Congress directed the

Corps of Eng~leers to use t~e 1987 wetlands

delineation nanual until a replacement manual

was established the courts have

recognized deference to the Corpss 1987

manual as the agencys interpretation of its

OvT regulatiors That manual was applied in

this case That manual when applied in this

case identifies wetlands throughout the site

JUDGE SHEEHAN A~e these -- are

these wetlands these draircs are tl_ey fed by

a1Y other source than rain

wetlands are what are called the top of the

watershed and this is why water flows in two

directions off of this site -- it flows both

west and east because its at the top of the

watershed

JUDGE SHEEHAN So any water on the

site its all rain-fed

MS SHAMET Yes The seasonality

of it however I can be established through

testimony regarding how the plants on this

site interact with that precipitation And

that testimony discusses the relationship

between whats called leap out and

transpiration In other words when the leaves

are on the trees the trees are uptaking water

from the ground -- from the groundwater table

and the groundwater table decreases and

thats why you see lower levels of water in

the summer During the winter when the leaves

are off the trees the trees are not

transpiring yet -- the water table rises and

thats why these are seasonally flowing

a~swer actually to one of your questions I

1think Judge Steir there is one case It S an

unreported case out of the District of Hawaii

that has held that the Kennedy Test is lircited

to isolated waters and hat Y0l otherwise

apply to Scalia Test and that is Sierra vs

COJ1ty of Honolulu 2008 us Distcict EX=S

64262 1 and we would just note that that case

is inconsistent with the governing circuit

lali ts tle 9h Circuit and we believe its

inconsistent with Headlesburg and Moses but

you did ask lthether there was any case that

discussed he Sca=--~a test and that is the

only one at least Im aware of To answer

your question we believe t11at satisfying the

Kennedy Iest wOll-~d be sufficient and it would

not be necessary to reach the Scalia Test i

however we do beLeve thas weve satisfied

boh in this case and that ei ther test will do

it All through

matte w~th regacd to that I do want 0

address a few absolutely incorrect things that

were stated and a couple misconceptions Let

me start with the mischaracterization of the

axpert witnesses that were hired in 2007

There seems to be some attempt to imply that

hiri1g differe1t expert witnesses to deal with

wtether this is ju-iscicto1al under Rapanos

is the same as having expert witnesses to

testify whether or not this area met the

former -- the actual definition of a wetland

Theyre two different things You can have a

wetland and it ca1 still not be

jClrisd~ctional So itS our hope that the

Board doesnt misconstrue that to say that by

hiring different fgtxperts you were trying to

get a different result which was not the case

-- its simply that if youre looking at how

much flow what the funcions of values ar-e

its a very differert thing fran sorteone who

how mportant or ho wrong someone may think

that it auld be To other quick points to

mention and that is EPA knew about this work

that was going on in February of 1999 and

that is in Jeff Lapps testimony tn Volume 1

page 167 through 169 so EA did kno Most of

t~e woyk was completed by Aprii or May of that

year before EPA every CaIne out to the site

and it wasnt until 2000 chat a notice of

violation was issued

JUDGE SHEEHamp1 So why does that

matte- That is an enforcement choice EPA makes

every day of the week and its not part of

the record i~ has nothing to do with whether

or not the Kennedy or Scalia or any other test

was met It really doesnt seem to bear on the

legal issues here

theres no requirement to take an enforcemer-t

as counsel appears to make it seem then EPA

did have every opportlli~ity to stOy that and

in ITany many cases vlhen EP1 sees a clear

violation of the law I they simply issues a

cease and desist order and in a case like

Rapanos in the Rapacos case you have people

who are going out anc taking action and

violating the wetlands law after theyve

received many state and federal cease and

desis orders so the facts of this case are

so di==ere~t from the facts of tha~ case Here

we have someone who was trying to comply with

the law as it was written at the time in my
