摘要：On June 11, 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a 4-4decision in what is known as the “Culvert Case.” TheCulvert Case involves a 17-year battle over who paysto install or replace stream culverts where salmon areblocked. The effect of the tie decision means that the lowercourt decision stands, requiring Washington state to pay100 percent of the cost of replacing barrier culverts eventhough the federal government provided the design forthose culverts and regardless of whether other barrier culverts(i.e. owned by federal and local governments) blocksalmon from getting to the state culverts.
