Natural Resources Defense Council v. Metropolitan Water Reclamation

<> Natural Resources Defense Council v. Metropolitan Water Reclamation - 7/9/15. In the U.S. Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit, Case Nos. 14-1776 & 14-1777. Case involves the City of Chicago's stormwater holding plan known as the Tunnel and Reservoir Plan, sometimes called TARP and commonly known as Deep Tunnel.       The Alliance [environmental organizations] challenges a consent decree approved by the district court, saying it  concedes that the system won't work. The Appeals Court ruled, "The consent decree that the district court has approved is reasonable in light of the current infrastructure, the costs of doing things differently (no one proposes to build a new sewer system or redo the Deep Tunnel project), and the limits of knowledge about what will happen when the system is completed. . ."
