We feel the district court was wrong. Our interpretation of the law is that a water quality violation is a water quality violation and can't occur. But we're still seeing water quality violations up at Pole Mountain.

We accept, no questions asked, tombstones that someone has at their home or wherever. If someone has a tombstone because they think it looks nice in their garden, they can keep it, but if they'd like to get rid of it, we will figure where it belongs and return the tombstone.

Obviously this is good news, but whatever happens, we need to be concerned with preserving species as an indication of health of riparian habitats. This isn't just the mouse we're talking about. This is a whole habitat, not just important for the mouse but for all sorts of wildlife people enjoy.

Unfortunately, this is the way the process often works.
