MGKF Law
MAY 29, 2023
While the 9-0 decision was unanimous in judgment by holding that the Sacketts’ wetland was not subject to federal jurisdiction, the court was sharply divided as to the test to determine when an adjacent wetland qualifies as a Water of the United States (or “WOTUS”). United States, 547 U.S. 715, 754 (2006). See 88 Fed.
