The Fat Lady Has Sung! SCOTUS Unanimously Finds for Tennessee in Landmark Groundwater Case! Jesse J. Richardson Opines

Jesse J. Richardson, one of the smartest water lawyers I know, has written a 6a00d8341bf80a53ef0282e12782d3200b-150wi number of times about groundwater, especially the seminal Mississippi v. Tennessee case, which the Supreme Court heard on 4 October 2021 Prior to that he wrote a  WaterWired article on the Special Master's decision in November 2020, which did not support Mississippi's position.

On 22 November 2021, the Supreme Court issued its decision: 9-0 in favor of Tennessee, thus ending about 15 years of conflict between Mississippi and Tennessee, its co-defendants City of Memphis and the city's subsidiary, Memphis Light, Gas and Water (MLGW). I asked him to write brief piece on this important decision. Here it is. Note that the 'Middle Claiborne Aquifer' is also known as the 'Memphis Sand Aquifer'.

[I have added the block diagram to Jesse's piece. It's by Mike Rogalski/Eyewash and can be found in the Undark Magazine article.]

*******************************************************************************************

Mississippi v. Tennessee
Jesse J. Richardson, Jr.

The United States Supreme Court released its opinion in Mississippi v. Tennessee today, November 22, 2021. The Court dismissed the case and did not grant Mississippi leave to file an amended complaint requesting equitable apportionment.

This case began in 2014 when Mississippi asked the Court to file a bill of complaint against Tennessee. Mississippi basically alleges that Memphis is pumping water from beneath the state of Mississippi for public water supply. Although the pumps themselves do not extend into Mississippi, the cone of depression does. Mississippi essentially claims that Tennessee is stealing its water and asked for monetary damages and for the Court to order Tennessee to stop the pumping.

The Special Master, after discovery and five days of hearings, found that the Middle Claiborne Aquifer is an interstate water resource and that groundwater flowed between the states of Tennessee and Mississippi even prior to Tennessee’s pumping. The Special Master recommended that the Court dismiss this case and grant leave to Mississippi to file an equitable apportionment case against Tennessee.

Memphis_Sand_Aquifer

Equitable apportionment is the doctrine by which the Court fairly allocates interstate water resources between two or more states. The Court has held that states have an equal right to make reasonable use of shared waters. However, this doctrine has never been applied to groundwater.

The Court first found that equitable apportionment of the Middle Claiborne Aquifer would be “sufficiently similar” to equitable apportionment of surface waters to warrant the same treatment, for three reasons. One, equitable apportionment only applies to transboundary resources and this aquifer is multistate in nature. Two, water in the aquifer flows naturally between the states. Finally, Tennessee’s pumping affects the portion of the aquifer below Mississippi as the cone of depression extends into Mississippi.

The Court rejected Mississippi’s contention that the groundwater beneath the state belongs exclusively to that state. Although states control the lands, including beds of streams, within their state, that control does not extend to “flowing interstate waters”. States that share interstate waters must respect each other’s interests in that water.

The Special Master also recommended that the Court grant leave to Mississippi to file an amended complaint seeking equitable apportionment. The Court refused to do so, explaining that Mississippi has neither requested leave nor alleged the elements of equitable apportionment. Equitable apportionment is a completely different matter than what Mississippi has pursued to this point. The case was dismissed with no leave to amend.

Where does this case leave Mississippi and the groundwater industry? First, a state, including Mississippi, may file an equitable apportionment claim for groundwater where the three requirements are met: (1) the aquifer is interstate, (2) waters in the aquifer flow naturally between the states and, (3) the actions of one state affects the portion of the aquifer below another state.

Predictions of rampant groundwater pumping along state boundaries are already being made. Those predictions may come true, but, if so, are likely to be quickly followed by a multitude of petitions to the United States Supreme Court requesting equitable apportionment. Given the number and complexity of interstate aquifers, the Court’s already heavy case load of water disputes may well increase exponentially. One wonders whether the case load will eventually prompt changes in how these cases are handled. In this particular case, I do not see the Court’s refusal to grant leave as particularly significant. I believe that Mississippi may file for leave at any time, just as any other state may.

Perhaps states will be incentivized to reach agreements (or compacts) on sharing interstate aquifers. However, despite the huge increase in interstate disputes and the astronomical costs of litigation, no such agreements have been reached as to surface water or groundwater in decades.

The Court’s emphasis on science will undoubtedly also mean that hydrogeologists, engineers, geologists and other scientists will be in high demand as expert witnesses in these cases. Good data and analysis will prove vital in these cases.

Finally, the question of “Who Owns the Water?”, although somewhat clearer after this case, remains in doubt. This decision rejected the notion that a state owns the groundwater beneath that state but leaves open the extent of private property rights. The Court will likely have an opportunity to apply equitable apportionment principles to groundwater in the relatively near future as disputes continue to escalate. Stay tuned to see how this area of law evolves.

Here is a link to the documents.

Friends of the Court and Other Voices

Jesse and some of his legal colleagues submitted an amici curiae (friends of the court) brief last April:

Download MS_v_TN_Amici__Curiae_Brief

Noah Hall of Wayne State University, one of Jesse's amici curiae colleagues, 
wrote an excellent article on this decision on his Great Lakes Law blog: go here.

He concluded:

In my view, the Court’s holding on the equitable apportionment doctrine is logical and sound but could have gone further. I filed an amicus brief with a small crew of water law professors (Joe Regalia, Robert Abrams, Burke Griggs, and Jesse Richardson) to share with the Court the doctrines and implications beyond equitable apportionment in considering claims of state ownership of water as property. Beginning with a law review article in 2013 (Interstate Groundwater Law in the Snake Valley: Equitable Apportionment and a New Model for Transboundary Aquifer Management, with Benjamin L. Cavataro, 2013 Utah L. Rev. 1553) and again in 2016 (Interstate Groundwater Law Revisited: Mississippi v. Tennessee, with Joseph Regalia, 34 Virginia Environmental L. J. 1520), I have advanced and detailed how equitable apportionment should and can apply to groundwater. The more difficult question is what then explains the state’s relationship to waters within its territory, if not ownership? Joe Regalia and I explored this question, with implications for public water rights and protections, in our most recent article Waters of the State (59 Nat. Res. J. 59 2019). In short, it comes back to the public trust doctrine. And with a succinct opinion in Mississippi v. Tennessee, fundamental questions about the scope and power of the public trust doctrine for our waters remain unanswered.

I also stumbled across this 2016 document:

A Dynamic Legal Case Study: Mississippi v. Tennessee - The Interstate Dispute Over Groundwater Resourcesby C. Janasie.

My Ten  Cents

Much of this comes from what I wrote on 11 November 2020 when Judge Siler issued his recommendation that came down on the side of Tennessee.

Some items.

1) SCOTUS got it right. For Mississippi, it's equitable apportionment or nothing. And it was a unanimous decision. Now - let's see it implemented.

2) The irony of this groundwater dispute is that it has unfolded in a region of the US that averages over 50 inches of precipitation per year and is located on the banks of one of the world’s largest streams – the Mississippi River. Strikes me as more of a Western US issue - water quantity. Shape of things to come? I think so. States are looking at transboundary aquifers; Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Kentucky are four that I know of. As climate change desiccates surface waters we will see more interest in groundwater use. And more potential conflict.

3) This case may have international implications. As friend Gabriel Eckstein of the Texas A&M School of Law pointed out, other countries often look to SCOTUS for guidance. This could be one of those cases. He also noted that when it comes to written agreements involving groundwater use between countries there are only four of them in the world: two between France and Switzerland, one between Jordan and Saudi Arabia, and another in North Africa. There are over 1,200 such agreements for surface water.

4) I would love to see Mississippi, Tennessee and Arkansas (it pumps from the Memphis Sand/Middle Claiborne aquifer but was not involved in the dispute) sit down and devise a governance and management plan from the bottom up. Maybe even sign a compact? My MS student Holly Mondo wrote a thesis on this a few years ago (the graphic is from her work).

6a00d8341bf80a53ef022ad39af552200b-800wi

It would be wise to expand the discussions to include the other states who overlie  the Memphis Sand/Middle Claiborne aquifer: Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, Alabama, and Louisiana.

4c799b78-1bb5-4970-bf76-29fe01776679-100421_MapAqua_RP2

 

5) I probably have done fifteen different PPTs and countless presentations/blog posts on this topic. One more, I suppose. My ride is about to end.

Download Ms_tn_gw_18august2021_final-2

6) Many thanks to Tom Charlier, formerly of the Memphis Commercial Appeal who phoned me out of the blue in 2006 or 2007 to get my take on the case. It's all his fault. 

7) I once heard that this suit was about money more than anything else. The first time around Mississippi wanted damages of over $1B; the second time around it dropped to $615M.

8) This is the only SCOTUS case in which two states, each with three pairs of consecutive identical letters, are litigants a groundwater case. I probably didn't state this correctly: MiSSiSSiPPi v. TeNNeSSEE. And each has four letters with the 'e' sound. Get it?

9) Lastly, I think this decision is very important. It will (hopefully) encourage states with conflicts over groundwater to seek resolution without legal action. And without jumping on their neighbors who might be 'stealing groundwater (currently occurring on Oregon's southern border - California the culprit). Eight states, including my home state of Oregon, were concerned about this issue. They felt that if Mississippi prevailed, there might be a field day of lawsuits of groundwater being 'stolen'. I also believe the future, with desiccating surface-water supplies, could be a portent of things to come (see item 2).   

10) Thanks, Jesse!

I suspect Mississippi is not celebrating too much today. Tennessee, Memphis, and MLGW - go figure!

CRS Insight Report: 'U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Civil Works - Primer and Resources'

Anna E. Normand and Nicole T. Carter are the authors of this CRS Insight report (dated  24 November 2021): 'U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Civil Works - Primer and Resources'.

The entire report is pasted below. The Insight reports have links embedded in them which are not included in the text below. Click on the title highlighted above to get the linked report.

Download CRS_Insight_Report_USACE_Civil_Works_Primer_Resources_24Nov2021

Congress plays a role in the nation’s water resource development through authorization and appropriations of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) projects and activities. USACE is a Department of Defense agency that develops civil works projects principally to improve navigable channels, reduce flood and storm damage, and restore aquatic ecosystems.

The Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works (ASACW) provides policy direction and supervision of USACE civil works. A military Chief of Engineers manages USACE’s civil and military missions. USACE’s 38 district offices work with nonfederal project sponsors to develop water resource projects.

Standard USACE project delivery consists of USACE leading the study, design, and construction of authorized projects. Nonfederal project sponsors typically share in study and construction costs, including providing real estate and generally performing operation and maintenance (O&M) for flood risk reduction and ecosystem restoration projects. USACE typically performs O&M for navigation and some multipurpose projects, such as dams. USACE operates more than 700 dams and maintains more than 900 coastal, Great Lakes, and inland harbors, as well as 12,000 miles of inland waterways.

USACE projects typically require two separate congressional authorizations—one for studying feasibility and one for construction—and appropriations for both. This Insight summarizes the USACE authorization and funding processes and provides links to related resources.

Project and Programmatic Authorization

Project Authorization. Most USACE projects start with congressional authorization to conduct a feasibility study of a water resource issue. If funded, the feasibility study evaluates alternatives to address the issue and recommends one alternative for construction. The Chief of Engineers then signs a recommendation for project construction (i.e., the Chief’s report) and transmits the completed feasibility study and the Chief’s report to congressional authorizing committees for consideration.

Some projects experience cost or design changes after authorization. If project features or estimated costs change significantly, additional congressional authorization may be necessary to modify the project authorization.

Programmatic Authorization. Congress has granted USACE programmatic authorities―Continuing Authorities Programs (CAPs)—that enable USACE and nonfederal sponsors to undertake cost-shared projects of limited scope and cost without requiring project-specific congressional authorization. Congress also has authorized USACE to engage in technical assistance for certain activities, such as flood risk mitigation and watershed studies, and to provide environmental infrastructure assistance for certain publicly owned facilities (e.g., municipal water supply and wastewater collection projects).

Congress generally authorizes USACE studies, projects, and programs and makes changes to the agency’s policies through omnibus authorization acts, typically titled Water Resources Development Acts (WRDAs). WRDAs generally authorize new activities that are added to the pool of existing authorized activities.

Authorization provisions in WRDAs can be project-specific, programmatic, or general directives. Most project-specific authorizations in WRDAs fall into three general categories: project studies, construction projects, and modifications to existing projects. WRDAs also have established deauthorization processes and/or have deauthorized individual projects.

In Section 7001 of the Water Resources Reform and Development Act of 2014 (33 U.S.C. §2282d), Congress established an annual process for nonfederal entities to submit to USACE proposals for site-specific studies and modifications to existing authorizations. The ASACW transmits a report to USACE’s congressional authorizing committees containing the proposals. Congress may authorize new feasibility studies or amend existing authorizations using these Section 7001 reports (e.g., the 2021 report) or other information.

Since the 1980s, Congress generally has considered WRDAs biennially; the timing of enactment has varied. Congress enacted WRDA-type legislation in 2000, 2007, 2014, 2016, 2018, and 2020. Congress enacted WRDA 2020 (Division AA of P.L. 116-260) in December 2020.

After WRDA enactment, USACE may develop implementation guidance for some provisions. As of November 2021, USACE has released implementation guidance for selected WRDA 2020 provisions. Guidance documents for other provisions remain in development.

Numerous projects authorized for construction in previous WRDAs remain unfunded. As of spring 2021, USACE estimated its construction backlog at $109 billion. Nonfederal sponsors and Congress often remain interested in means for pursuing these studies and construction activities.

Appropriations

The majority of USACE’s appropriations are used to perform work on geographically specific studies and congressionally authorized projects (e.g., study and construction of new and modified projects, O&M of constructed projects). Congress typically appropriates funds for USACE activities in annual Energy and Water Development appropriations acts (e.g., $7.8 billion in FY2021).

USACE’s annual appropriations process generally involves three major milestones (see Figure 1): the President’s budget request, congressional deliberation and enactment of appropriations, and Administration development of a USACE work plan allocating funds to specific studies and projects. In the 117th Congress, both the House and the Senate also included congressionally directed funding for site-specific projects (i.e., community project funding [CPF]) in the FY2022 appropriations process, the first such funding since the 111th Congress.

Congress has also used supplemental appropriations to fund USACE emergency specific flood-related response and recovery activities (e.g., $5.7 billion in Division B, Title IV, of P.L. 117-43) and to advance other purposes, such as general investments in infrastructure (e.g., $17.1 billion in Division J, Title III, of P.L. 117-58). For some supplemental appropriations, Congress has directed USACE to publish spend plans identifying funded studies and projects.
