MEMORANDUM
SUBJECT: -Supreme Court Ruling Concerning CWA Jurisdiction over Isolated Waters
FROM: Gary S. Guzy/s/
General Counsel -
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
• Robert M.Andersen/s/
Chief Counsel
U. S.Army Corps of Engineers •
.
TO: See Distribution
The purpose of this memorandum is to inform you of a significant new ruling by the Supreme Court
pertaining to the,scope of regulatory jurisdiction under the Clean Water Act(CWA) and to inform you of
what is and is not affected by this ruling. Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County v.U.S. Army
Corps of En2ineers,No. 99-1178 (January 9,2001) ("SWANCC")involved statutory and constitutional
challenges to the assertion of CWA jurisdiction over isolated,-non-navigable, intrastate waters used as
habitat by migratory birds.
Although the SWANCC case itself specifically involved section 404 of the CWA, the Court's decision
affects the scope of regulatory jurisdiction under other provisions of the CWA as-well,including the
section 402 NPDES program and the section 311 oil spill program. Under each of-these sections,the
Agencies have jurisdiction over"waters of the United States." CWA § 502(7). Accordingly,the following
discussion applies to any program that involves "waters of the United States" as that term is used in the
CWA,'and will be relevant to any federal, state, or tribal staff involved in implementing sections 402,404,
311, and any other provision of the CWA which applies the definition of"waters of the United States."111
•
In the 5-4 decision,the Supreme Court held that the Corps exceeded its statutory authority by asserting
CWA jurisdiction over"an abandoned sand and gravel pit in northern Illinois which provides habitat for
migratory birds." Slip op. at 1. The Court did not reach the question of whether Congress could exercise
such authority consistent with the Commerce Clause, U.S. Const.,Art. I, § 8, cl. 3." Slip op. at 1. It
summarizedits holding as follows: "We hold that 33 C.F.R. § 328.3(a)(3) (1999), as clarified and applied
to petitioner's balefill site pursuant to the-'Migratory Bird Rule,'51 Fed.Reg.'41217(1986), exceeds •
the
authority granted to respondents under § 404(a) of the CWA." Id. at 14 2'Although the Court held that the •
1of6

sware og,
Corps'application of§ 328.3(a)(3)was invalid in SWANCC, the Court did not strike down §328.3(a)(3) or
any other component of the regulations defining "waters of the United States."
While the Court's actual holding was narrowly limited to CWA regulation of"nonnavigable, isolated,
instrastate"waters based solely on the use of such waters by migratory birds,the Court's discussion was
wider ranging. For example,the Court clearly recognized the CWA's assertion of jurisdiction over
traditional navigable waters and their tributaries and wetlands adjacent to,them. Slip op. at 6, 10. The Court
also expressly declined to address certain other aspects of the scope of CWA jurisdiction. Slip op. at 10. As
a result,the Court's opinion has led to questions concerning the effect of the decision on other waters
within the definition of"waters of the United States" in agency regulations.Accordingly,this memorandum
describes which aspects of the regulatory definition of"waters of the United States" are and are of
affected by SWANCC. •
1. In light of the Court's "conclu[sion] that the'Migratory Bird Rule'is not fairly supported by the
CWA," slip op. 6, field-staff should no longer rely on the use of waters or wetlands as habitat by
migratory birds as"the sole basis for the assertion of regulatory jurisdiction under the CWA:
2. As noted above,the Court's holding was strictly limited to waters that are "nonnavigable, isolated,
[and] intrastate." With respect to any waters that fall outside of that category,field staff should
continue to exercise CWA jurisdiction to the full extent of their authority under the statute and
regulations and consistent with court opinions.
3. The Court did not ovemile the holding or rationale of United States v.Riverside Bayview Homes,
Inc.,•474 U.S. 12.1 (1985),which upheld the regulation of traditionally navigable waters,interstate
waters,their tributaries, and wetlands adjacent to each.See id. at 123, 129, 139. Each of these
categories is still considered"waters of the United States," as is discussed below in paragraphs 4 and
6.
4. Because the Court's holding was limited to waters that are "non-navigable, isolated,[and] intrastate,"
the following subsections of the regulatory definition of"-waters of the United States" are
unaffected by SWANCC;
"(1)All waters which are currently used, or were used in the past, or may be susceptible to use
in interstate or,foreign commerce,including all waters which are subject to the ebb and flow of
the tide" (see, e.g., SWANCC, slip op. at 7-8);
"(2)All.interstate waters including interstate wetlands" (see, e.g., CWA section 303(a)(1);
Hodel:v. Virginia Surface Mining and Reclamation Ass'n,452 U.S.264,282'(1981));
.
"(4)All.impoundments of waters otherwise defined as waters''of the United States under the.
definition[except subsection(a)(3)waters] " (implicit in SWANCC,slip. op. at 6);
"(5) Tributaries to waters identified in paragraphs'(a)(1)[, (2), and] (4) of this section" (see,
e.g., SWANCC, slip op. at 10);
"(6) The territorial seas" (see CWA section 502(7)); and
"(7)Wetlands adjacent to waters (other than waters which are themselves wetlands)identified
'in paragraphs (a)(1)[,(2), (4), (5), and] (6) of this section" (see, e.g., SWANCC,slip op. at 6;
• Riverside Bayview at 134-35, 139)
•_«

_-r� -. _- -•.. N...S, � _•,�u.ca James J. wmison wysiwyg://196/http:!/www.epagov/owow/wetlands/sw+ancc-ogc
5. The following subsections of the regulatory definition of"waters of the United States" are, or
potentially are, affected by SWANCC:
•
"(3)All other waters such as intrastate lakes,rivers, streams (including intermittent streams),
mudflats, sandflats,wetlands, sloughs,prairie potholes,wet meadows,playa lakes, or natural
ponds, the use, degradation, or destruction of which could affect interstate or foreign
commerce . . ."
a. Waters covered solely by subsection(a)(3)11/that could affect interstate commerce
solely by virtue of their use as habitat by migratory birds are no longer considered
"waters of the United States." The Court's opinion did not specifically address what
other connections with interstate commerce might support the assertion of CWA
jurisdiction over"nonnavigable, isolated, intrastate waters" under subsection (a)(3).
Therefore, as specific cases arise,please consult agency legal counsel.
b. The Court's opinion expressly reserved the question of what "other waters"were
intended to be addressed by CWA § 404(g)(1) (regarding state 404 programs). Factors
not addressed in SWANCC may have a bearing on whether subsection (a)(3)may still
be relied on as the basis for asserting CWA jurisdiction over certain "other waters."
Jurisdiction over such "other waters" should be considered on a case-by-case basis in
consultation with agency legal counsel. Factors that may be relevant to the analysis
under 33 C.F.R.328.3(a)(3) include,but are not limited to, the following:
(1)With respect to waters that are isolated, intrastate, and nonnavigable—
jurisdiction may be possible if their use, degradation, or destruction could affect
other"waters of the United States,"thus establishing a significant nexus between
the water in question and other"waters of the United States;"
(2)With respect to waters that, although isolated and intrastate, are navigable--
jurisdiction may also be possible if their use, degradation, or destruction could
affect interstate or foreign commerce (examples of ways the use, degradation or
destruction of a water could affect such commerce are provided at 33 CFR
328.3(a)(3)(i) -
c. Impoundments of subsection (a)(3)waters,tributaries of(a)(3)waters, and wetlands
• adjacent to subsection(a)(3)waters should be analyzed on a case-by-case basis in
accordance with subparagraphs 5.a and 5.b immediately above. Such impoundments,
tributaries and adjacent wetlands are also part of the "waters of the United States" if the
waters they impound, are tributaries to, or are adjacent to are themselves "waters of the-
•
United States."
6. The Supreme Court's decision in SWANCC does provide an important new limitation on how and in
what circumstances the EPA and the Corps can assert regulatory authority under the CWA.
However, this decision's limited holding must be interpreted in light of other Supreme Court and
lower court precedents, unaffected by the SWANCC decision, which precedents broadly uphold
CWA jurisdictional authority. The following quotations from the Riverside Bayview decision are
provided to remind EPA and Corps field offices that most CWA jurisdiction remains basically intact
after the SWANCC decision.
of 6

Guidance for Corps and EPA Field Offices...ight of United States v.James J.Wilson wysiwyg://196/http://www.epa.gov/owow/wetlandsJswance-og,
a. The Supreme Court's Riverside Bavview decision (at 123, 139) upheld the legality of the basic
provisions of the Corps' CWA jurisdictional regulation,which the Court described (at 129) as
follows: "The [Corps and EPA jurisdictional] regulation extends the Corps' authority under
Section 404 to all wetlands adjacent to navigable or interstate waters and their tributaries."W
b.' The Court in Riverside Bayview also stated, at 132-33, that:
. . . Section 404 originated as part of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of
1972,which constituted a comprehensive legislative attempt'to restore and maintain the
chemical, physical, and biological integrity-of the Nation's waters.' CWA§ 101, 33V.S.C. §
1251. This objective incorporated a broad, systemic view of the goal of maintaining and
improving water quality: as the House Report on the legislation put it, "the word'integrity' . . .
refers to a condition in which the natural structure and function of ecosystems is [are]
maintained. . . .Protection of aquatic ecosystems, Congress recognized, demanded broad
federal authority to control pollution, for'[w]ater moves in hydrologic cycles and it is essential
that discharge of pollutants be controlled at the source.' . . .In keeping with these views,
Congress chose to define the waters covered by the Act broadly.
c. In Riverside Bayview, at 133-134,the Court quoted with approval the following language
from the preamble to the Corps' 1977 regulations:
" The regulation of activities that cause water pollution cannot rely on . . . artificial lines . . .
but must focus on all waters that together form the entire aquatic system. Water moves in
hydrologic cycles, and the pollution of this part of the aquatic system,regardless of whether it
is above or below an ordinary high water mark, or mean high tide line,will affect the water
quality of the other waters within that aquatic system. For this reason,the landward limit of
Federal jurisdiction under Section 404 must include any adjacent wetlands that form the border
_ of or are in reasonable proximity to other waters of the United States, as these wetlands are
part of this aquatic system."
The Court went on to conclude, at 134,.that: "In view of the breadth of federal regulatory
authority contemplated by the Act itself. . . the Corps' ecological judgment about the
relationship between waters and their adjacent wetlands provides an adequate basis for a legal
judgment that adjacent wetlands may be defined as waters under the Act."
d. In sum,the holding,the facts, and the reasoning of United States v. Riverside Bayview Homes
continue to provide authority for the EPA and the Corps to assert CWA jurisdiction over, inter
alia, all of the traditional navigable waters, all interstate waters, and all tributaries to navigable
or interstate waters,upstream to the highest reaches of the tributary systems, and over all
wetlands adjacent to any and all of those waters.'

1 The SWANCC decision only addresses the scope of regulatory jurisdiction under the federal CWA.
Therefore, the scope of regulatory jurisdiction over aquatic features under other federal statutes is not
affected by this decision. In addition,the Clean Water Act explicitly provides that nothing in the Act
"shall...be construed as impairing or in any manner affecting any right or jurisdiction of the States with
respect to the waters (including boundary waters) of such States." 33 U.S.C. § 1370. Therefore,nothing in
the SWANCC decision alters the extent of State (or tribal)jurisdiction over aquatic features under State (or
tribal) law.
2 33 C.F.R. § 328(a)(3) describes a subset of"waters of the United States": "All other waters such as
intrastate lakes,rivers, streams(including intermittent streams),mudflats, sandflats,wetlands, sloughs,
prairie potholes,wet meadows,playa lakes, or natural ponds,the use, degradation, or destruction of which
could affect interstate or foreign commerce . . . ."
The "Migratory Bird Rule"refers to an explanation, in the preambles to 1986 Corps regulations and 1988
EPA regulations, that waters that are or may be used as habitat for migratory birds are an example of waters
whose use, degradation, or destruction could affect interstate or foreign commerce and therefore are
"waters of the United States.".51 Fed.Reg. 41217 (1986); 53 Fed. Reg. 20765 (1988).
3Different CWA regulations contain slightly different formulations of the definition.For simplicity's sake,
this memo refers to the Corps'version at 33 C.F.R. § 328.3(a). Other versions appear at, e.g.,40 CFR §§
110.1, 112.2, 116.3, 117.1, 122.2,230.3(s), and 232.2.
4 "Adjacent" is defined by regulation as "bordering, contiguous, or neighboring. Wetlands separated from
other waters of the United States by man-made dikes or barriers,natural river berms,beach dunes, and the
like are 'adjacent wetlands.' "33 C.F.R. § 328.3(d). This definition was approved in Riverside Bavview and
is not undercut by SWANCC.
5 Subsection (a)(3) is intended to cover waters that are not covered by the other subsections of§ 328.3(a).
6An example of an intra-state lake that is "isolated" (i.e.,not part of the tributary system of traditional
navigable waters or interstate waters)but which might reasonably be considered"waters of the United
States"under subsections (a)(1) or(a)(3) is the Great Salt Lake in Utah. That "isolated" lake is
navigable-in-fact(see United States v. Utah, 403 U.S. 9 (1971)), and has substantial connections with
interstate commerce (see, e.g.,Hardy Salt Co. v. Southern Pacific Transportation Co., 501 F. 2d 1156 (10th
Cir. 1974)).
