A federal district court in Minnesota will decide Aug. 5 whether to defer to the ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit which held the appellate court as the proper venue to hear all lawsuits against the Clean Water Rule (Wash. Cattlemen's Ass'n v. EPA, D. Minn., No. 15-03058, brief 6/14/16).
