Michigan developer settles Clean Water Act case, will pay fines
Michigan developer John Rapanos agreed to pay a fine of $150,000 and spend $750,000 cleaning up Clean Water Act violations on 54 acres of wetlands. Rapanos filled 54 acres of wetlands without receiving a permit from the Army Corps of Engineers but denied any wrongdoing. The legal battle over the wetlands started in 1994 and went all the way to the Supreme Court.
