FISHERMEN AGAINST DEST. OF ENVI. v. CLOSTER FARMS

No. 01-11932.

300 F.3d 1294 (2002)

FISHERMEN AGAINST THE DESTRUCTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT, INC., Plaintiff-Appellant, v. CLOSTER FARMS, INC., Defendant-Appellee.

United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.

August 7, 2002.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

John E. Childe, Palmyra, PA, for Plaintiff-Appellant.

William L. Earl, Robert H. Blank, Earl, Blank, Kavanaugh & Stotts, P.A., Miami, FL, for Defendant-Appellee.

Before TJOFLAT and KRAVITCH, Circuit Judges, and VINSON, Chief District Judge.


KRAVITCH, Circuit Judge:

This case presents the question whether the Clean Water Act requires a permit for a farm to discharge water from its water management system into an adjacent lake. Because the evidence fails to show any pollutants discharged into the lake other than those that fall within the agricultural exemptions to the Clean Water Act, we find that no permit is required.
