The US Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit has determined that the US Army Corps of Engineers, in its maintenance of river levels, was exempt from compliance with North Dakota's water quality standards to the extent that the standards interfered with the Corps' obligation to control flooding under the Flood Control Act of 1944 (FCA).
