• Alligators
and Litigators :
A Recent History of Everglades Regulation and Litigation
by Keith W. Rizzardi
To many Florida lawyers, litigation in the Everglades seems as old as
the Everglades itself. Its history can be traced back to the 1800s when
Hamilton Disston and Henry Flagler were draining, dredging, and filling
Florida's land while fighting in the courts with shareholders,
speculators, and state land administrators. The modern history
of litigation in the Everglades is dominated by agricultural interests,
environmental interest groups, the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians, and state
and federal agencies. Along the way, important precedents have been
created, affecting the Everglades as well as Florida administrative and
environmental law in general.

ST. Johns River Water Management District v.
Consolidated-Tomoka Land Development Co.: Defining Agency Rulemaking Authority Under The
1996 Revisions To The Florida Administrative Procedure Act
By Martha C. Mann
In 1996 the passage of the much-anticipated amendments to Florida's
Administrative Procedure Act (APA)[1] set the stage for a notable controversy surrounding
the authority of state administrative agencies to promulgate rules. The amendments
decidedly changed the prevailing standard for determining whether the Florida Legislature
had properly delegated authority to administrative agencies. The revised APA rejected the
long-applied standard that an administrative rule would be deemed valid if it was
"reasonably related to the purposes of the enabling legislation and [was] not
arbitrary or capricious."[2] The revised statute required more in that "[a]
grant of rulemaking authority is necessary but not sufficient to allow an agency to adopt
a rule; a specific law to be implemented is also required. An agency may adopt only rules
that implement, interpret, or make specific the particular powers and duties granted by
the enabling statute."[3]

Environmental
legislation and the problem of collective action
By Robert V. Percival
9 Duke Envtl. L. & Pol'y F. 9 (1998)
It is much easier to understand why environmental laws are
needed than it is to comprehend how they came to be adopted. Whether described as a
"tragedy of the commons," a problem of externalities, or a free-rider problem,
the reasons why the marketplace alone will not provide sufficient clean air, clean water,
and other public goods are well understood.

Sharing the Cup: A Proposal For The Allocation of
Florida's Water Resources
By Ronald A. Christaldi
Florida's population has grown immensely over the past forty
years.[1] The state's warm climate and extensive beaches have attracted new citizens from
across the nation. By the year 2000, Florida's population is expected to surpass fifteen
million.[2] Because water is a basic necessity for human existence, this increase in
population has led directly to an increase in the consumptive use of water.[3] Florida has
a seeming abundance of water;[4] it receives an average of 175 billion gallons per day.[5]
In addition, Florida's aquifers[6] contain more than a quadrillion gallons of water, which
is 30,000 times the average daily discharge of Florida's thirteen largest rivers.[7]
Florida has 1700 streams and rivers and 7800 freshwater lakes.[8] Yet, Florida withdraws
only 18 billion gallons of water per day,[9] only 7.5 billion gallons of which are fresh
water.[10]

The regulation of deep-well injection:
A changing environment beneath the surface
By Earle A. "Rusty" Herbert
"America's journey to environmental awareness has been a
relatively recent one. Not so many years ago, Americans were still living under the
illusion that a land as vast as ours was blessed with indestructible natural resources and
beauty."(2) The illusion could not last, and reality has set in. The economic and
population growth of the nation and the improvements in the standard of living enjoyed by
its citizens require increased industrial production. Technological progress and
improvements in methods of manufacturing, packaging, and marketing of consumer products
result in an ever-increasing mass of waste, including hazardous waste.(3) Regardless of
the waste disposal technology utilized, under the right conditions, waste or constituents
of wastes, particularly liquid wastes, migrate.

Property Rights and Growth Management in Florida: Balancing Opportunity and Responsibility

and our sensitive coastal areas, and yet provide the land, density, and infrastructure
needed for residential, commercial and industrial development.

Using Property Rights to Attack Environmental Protection
by Joseph L. Sax
THE SECOND ANNUAL LLOYD K. GARRISON LECTURE ON ENVIRONMENTAL
LAW. Conducted at Pace University School of Law, April 23, 1996
My subject is how a quarter century of development in environmental protection is
jeopardized by ill-conceived legislative proposals that purport to protect property
rights. Those proposals - sometimes directly, sometimes indirectly - particularly target
two important but controversial environmental programs, governance of wetland development
under the Clean Water Act (CWA), and the Endangered Species Act (ESA).
