NAT’L ASSOC. OF HOME BUILDERS V. DEFENDERS OF WILDLIFE. EPA transfer water pollutants regulations from national to state. Defenders of Wildlife argued that this broke the ESA requirement of consulting with federal government to not jeopardize any endangered species. Ruled that it applied only to discretionary agency action, so it did not apply.

The case that i did was the navy sonar vs the whales. Basically people were trying to say that the sonar was hurting the whales and the supreme court was the one that had the final say in it. The supreme court went on the navy side. They had said that it was an issue of national security, so because of that the navy was able to keep doing their training and everything else.

The snail darter was an endangered species that could have been killed off by the building of the Telico dam, but the secretary of interior saw the snail darter as an endangered species. The Court had a 6-3 rule in favor of protecting the snail darter.

TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY V. HILL, this is where the animals lost because the dam was still built. It was considered a conservation success because they challenged the courts.

In the home builders vs. the defenders of wildlife, the Supreme Court involved so the EPA can monitor the pollution that is being dumped into the water. The court ruled 5-4 in favor of the EPA getting involved to monitor the pollution in water.

The snail darter would have been harmed by by completing the plans to finish the dam but it was taken to court and they put the dam on hold and found that it was more important for the economy to build the dam than to the environment to keep the fish. eventually the dam was built but the delay is considered a environmental win.

The Navy Sonar and Whales case started because people were saying that the whales were being hurt by the sonar. The supreme court decided to take the navy's side because they are in charge of protecting national security.

The case that I have chosen was Babbitt v. Sweet Home Chapter of Communities For a Better Oregon. The people responding to the case said that under the Secretary’s definition, they were unable to log on their land due to northern spotted owls and red-woodpeckers that were listed as threatened under the ESA.

Babbitt vs Sweet Home.... That the definition of what was unlawful in the Endangered species act made it so they couldn't mark their land because of a few endangered species in that area and they voted a 6-3 majority vote and chose not to change the secretary definition and also chose to create a system that would grant permits to accidental takings

The case pertains to the cleaning of polluted water and those involved with the process, and is about ensuring that the polluted water does not come into contact with endangered animals.

Winter v. NRDC: Navy Sonar and Whales. In this article, they talked about how the sonar was affecting the whales and that it was in humane. However the Supreme Court had the final say and in the end they decided that the Navy's protection in the end was most important.

The submarine/ships are potentially hurting marine mammals that live in the ocean like whales, seals that the navy officers are taking note of. The court ruled by saying th navy will still be allowed to do their job even though it’s affecting the mammals
