Editor's note: I originally had Pacific Legal Fdtn.'s brief listed as a brief in support of the petition. It is the merits brief filed Sept. 10. My apologies for any confusion.
Petition granted June 27. Question to be considered: "Whether the pumping of water by a state water management agency that adds nothing to the water being pumped constitutes an 'addition' of a 'pollutant' 'from' a point source triggering the need for a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit under the Clean Water Act."
