Appeals Court Hears EPA Permit Case

The Ninth Circus Court of Appeals heard oral arguments
on Aug. 13th regarding the ballast discharge decision
made last Sept. by the U.S. District Court in CA. (As
reported by BoatTest.com.)

Based on the Ninth Circuit's record, if it reaches the SC the chances of
reversal are 75%.

It sounds like good justification to at least raise fees
for recreational boaters.
