Court reviews Water Quality Control Board decision.

PUBLIC EMPLOYEES FOR ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY (PEER) v. TENNESSEE WATER QUALITY CONTROL BOARD, ET AL. (Tenn. Ct. App. June 10, 2009)

Upon review under the Uniform Administrative Procedures Act, the trial court affirmed the decision of the Water Quality Control Board upholding the decision of the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation to approve Waste Management's application for a permit to expand a landfill into a mitigation wetlands area. Petitioner appeals. We dismiss the appeal for lack of standing and as moot.
