Abstract
The US Court of appeals for the Sixth Circuit ruled that a hydroelectric facility's movement of pollutants already in the water did not constitute the “addition of pollutants” to navigable waters. The hydroelectric utility pumps water between its man‐made reservoir and Lake Michigan and fish and other aquatic organisms enter the power generation system during normal pumping operations. The National Wildlife Federation brought this action to preclude the discharge of dead fish.
