I don't know of us doing anything on this good news but I'm cc'ing Lee Currey, my Director of Water and Science (including TMDLs) in case he knows. Great to connect two Lees, steeped in water, wetlands, and environmental protection. Best.

As always you make very good points on how we need to improve the program. On another pressing note. Are you all going to put out a press release on this decision? We were considering doing so but don't want to do something if you all don't think it is appropriate. Let me know what you all want to do. Lee D.

Specifically, Plaintiffs argued that EPA improperly delisted waterbody segments that received TMDLs through the Chesapeake Bay TMDL process because they also required "local TMDLs." The Court rejected their claims as moot because EPA had subsequently reiterated its approval (with a more robust record) thirty five months later when it acted on Maryland's 2014 list.
