Maine Attorney General William Schneider's 8/8/12 response to Stephen Perkins, EPA, concerning the Federal Government's contention that Maine was in violation of its overall water quality standards due to the law passed in 1995 to block river herring passage on the St. Croix River. Schneider chose to assert that because the EPA failed to raise in its July 9 letter certain jurisdictional issues that have been in dispute concerning the St. Croix River “it will never suggest that Maine’s environmental regulatory jurisdiction is in question.”
