Jones Fortuna partner John Fortuna proudly represented the Sea Island Company in a major Clean Water Act case before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.

The case marks the first time an appellate court will consider the U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark decision in Sackett v. EPA, which limited the Act’s application to wetlands adjacent to navigable waters. The case also marks the first time the 11th Circuit will consider whether the Clean Water Act authorizes citizen-suits to enforce conditions contained in Section 404 permits.
