Black carp, an invasive species that was first imported to control snails in fish farms where fish are bred, have made their way into Illinois waterways. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources believes black carp have moved up the Illinois River as far as central Illinois. If the invasive carp enter the Great Lakes, they have the ability to dominate the food chain and cause major disruptions to the ecosystem. Read the full story by WBGZ – Alton, IL.

The last decree was set to expire in 2020 but was extended as negotiations carried on. Four of the five tribes involved are supporting the new decree, but the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians and other sport fishing and conservation groups take issue with changes in the new agreement. Read the full story by Interlochen Public Radio.

In: invasive carp

Congress – on a bipartisan vote – has passed legislation that continues strong momentum to stop invasive carp from reaching Lake Michigan.

Invasive carp pose a serious threat to the Great Lakes. Silver and bighead carp have already wreaked havoc on the Mississippi and Illinois rivers, out-competing native fish for food and injuring people who recreate on the rivers. The invasive fish are steadily spreading upstream toward Lake Michigan.

Prevention measures in design

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has begun designing a critical project to stop invasive carp from reaching Lake Michigan. The Corps is designing new carp prevention measures to install at the Brandon Road Lock and Dam in Illinois, a chokepoint in waterways leading to Lake Michigan.

In the bill just passed, Congress increased the federal cost-share – which is how much the federal government will chip in for this critical project – to 90%. This commitment shows that Congress and the Administration recognize that the invasive carp moving toward Lake Michigan threaten the entire Great Lakes region.

By increasing the federal cost-share to 90%, Congress will help accelerate the project from design to construction.

Next steps for Illinois

The state of Illinois must take 2 important steps to keep this critical project moving forward:

  • Illinois must sign an agreement with the Corps by the end of the year to keep the project on schedule.
  • It’s time for Illinois to step up and work collaboratively with other Great Lakes states to fund the local portion of the construction phase of the project and keep invasive carp out of the lakes.

“Thank you to all the Great Lake advocates and members of Congress who are working to keep invasive carp out of our lakes,” says Molly Flanagan, Chief Operating Officer, Alliance for the Great Lakes. “We look forward to working with Illinois and other Great Lakes states to ensure the local share is funded.”

In: Environmental Justice, Environmental Rights, Flint Water Crisis

My legal essay, Flint’s Fight for Environmental Rights, has been published by the Northwestern University Law Review (117 Nw. U. L. Rev. 123 (2022); free download.)

In this essay, I present the Flint Water Crisis as the outcome of both specific state actions and broader failures of environmental law.

The story begins chronologically with the role of the State of Michigan, focusing on state decisions from approximately 2011 to 2015 that culminated in the delivery of drinking water without proper treatment to Flint residents. The injustice of the Flint Water Crisis peaked during the final eighteen months of this period under the federal Environmental Protection Agency’s administration of the Safe Drinking Water Act.

The failure of federal environmental law and governance apparent in the Flint Water Crisis is structural and systemic and a direct cause of ongoing environmental injustices necessitating changes in policy and politics.

There are lessons to be learned from why and how Flint residents were poisoned by their state and failed by the EPA. But the focus of this essay is not how Flint was victimized; it is how Flint has fought back successfully and cleared new legal paths for environmental justice in the courts.

Flint residents have sought accountability for wrongs and vindication of rights in an ongoing five-year legal campaign—and have been overwhelmingly successful. Flint plaintiffs have won orders and opinions from federal courts to require the state to deliver safe water to every Flint resident, to protect due process and equal rights regardless of compliance with environmental laws, to recognize a violation of the right to bodily integrity by the state for providing unsafe water, and to recover damages from the EPA for its negligent administration and enforcement of the Safe Drinking Water Act. These are tremendous legal victories for advancing meaningful environmental rights in U.S. law, and potential precedents for many other communities suffering from environmental injustice.
