This session is intended to provide an overview of the legal remedies that can be used to compel an appropriate governmental response to combat negative environmental impacts on Michigan Waterways. The discussion will focus on the viability of bringing a legal action against the State of Michigan or its various departments for (1) facilitating the introduction of negative environmental circumstances or (2) failing to take appropriate action to prevent environmental impairment.
