	Lykes Bros., Inc. v. United States Army Corps of Engineers
		The Corps appeals the district court's judgment, asserting that the court's factual determinations are clearly erroneous, and that the court misapplied the applicable law.
		Third, the Corps challenges the district court's consideration of an investigation and report by John Adams, Chief of the Corps' Regulatory Division, which concluded that Fisheating Creek was not a navigable waterway of the United States.
		The Corps correctly argues that there is evidence in the record that would support a finding that there was, during the relevant period, a defined and navigable channel through Cowbone Marsh, and that the creek was navigable during the relevant period from Lake Okeechobee to State Road 731 near Venus, Florida.

	US Army Corps of Engineers Brief History
		The fortifications, which the Army engineers built on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, and after 1848 on the Pacific coast, securely defended the nation until the second half of the 19th century when the development of rifled artillery ended the earlier impregnability of the massive structures.
		After the Civil War, a special Army Engineer Board concluded that a system of locks and dams on the Ohio River was preferable either to continued dependence on wing dams and dredging or to the construction of a system of canals to by-pass the Ohio's obstacles.
		The Detroit District of the Corps of Engineers assumed the responsibility for forecasting lake levels.

	No. 01-1243: Borden Ranch v. United States Army Corps of Engineers and EPA - Brief (Merits)
		The applicable regulations state, and the courts have repeatedly held, that the filling of a wetland through the removal and redeposit of materials therein is a discharge of dredged materials.
		As the Corps and EPA have long recognized, filling occurs when material, whatever its source, is used to replace an aquatic area with dry land or to change the bottom elevation of a waterbody.
		United States, 508 U.S. 35 Indeed, even if petitioners' theory of calculating the maximum penalty were accepted, the evidence in the record would support a penalty of at least $1,825,000 (73 days of ripping multiplied by $25,000), well above the $500,000 penalty that petitioner Tsakopoulos was ultimately assessed.

	SOLID WASTE AGENCY OF NORTHERN COOK COUNTY v. UNITED STATES ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS ET AL
		In 1986, the Corps attempted to clarify its jurisdiction, stating, in what has been dubbed the "Migratory Bird Rule," that §404(a) extends to intrastate waters that, inter alia, provide habitat for migratory birds.
		When petitioner challenged the Corps' jurisdiction and the merits of the permit denial, the District Court granted respondents summary judgment on the jurisdictional issue.
		(b) The Corps' original interpretation of the CWA in its 1974 regulations- which emphasized that a water body' s capability of use by the public for transportation or commerce determines whether it is navigable-is inconsistent with that which it espouses here, yet respondents present no persuasive evidence that the Corps mistook Congress' intent in 1974.
