Robertson was not engaged in manufacturing or any industrial activity which would release chemicals or waste into the water, but under the Clean Water Act even turning the soil with a shovel can be considered releasing a ‘pollutant’ into water" (2/3).jwatch.us/2PvcVa
JW & AEF had asked SCOTUS to review the ruling by US Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit that upheld Robertson’s conviction because that decision “affirmed illegal agency actions in prosecuting Joseph Robertson based on a misreading of federal law"(3/3).jwatch.us/2PvcVa
