Government Liable for Project-Induced Flood Damage according to Senior Judge Charles F. Lettow

HOUSTON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / December 18, 2019 / Senior Judge Charles F. Lettow of the United States Court of Federal Claims issued an official ruling today in favor of homeowners and businesses who sued the Federal Government for damage resulting from the Army Corps of Engineers' operation of the Addicks and Barker dams during and after Tropical Storm Harvey [Case 1:17-cv-09001-CFL, Sub-Master Docket No. 17-9001L]. Judge Lettow's ruling relates to a May 2019 liability trial for thirteen "test properties" located behind the federal government's flood-control project, which was originally built in the 1940s to protect downtown Houston.

Armi Easterby, partner at Williams Hart Boundas Easterby, LLP who is part of the court-appointed team that took the case to trial, stated: "This is a huge win and a big step in collecting fair compensation for the thousands of families and businesses that suffered catastrophic damage from the government's flood pools."

The property owners brought "inverse condemnation" claims under the Fifth Amendment, which requires that the government pay Just Compensation when it takes property for a public purpose. During the liability trial, plaintiffs showed how the Addicks and Barker dams, located 17 miles west of downtown Houston, held back and controlled stormwater in two massive "flood pools" that submerged over 7,000 acres of privately-owned land.

The government denied owing compensation to any homeowners, and argued that any damages were temporary and could be repaired.

The United States Court of Federal Claims is a federal court that hears claims against the United States government. Senior Judge Lettow held a 2-week trial in Houston, Texas, which concluded on May 17, 2019. Over 30 witnesses were called to testify, including property owners, representatives from Harris County and Fort Bend County, personnel from the Army Corps of Engineers, as well as experts in hydrology, meteorology, and real estate valuation. The trial included a site inspection during which Judge Lettow personally viewed Addicks and Barker.

Mr. Easterby notes the following major points were established at trial:

· The Army Corps was well aware that it had no legal right to impose flooding on privately-owned land but did so anyway to save money.
· The Army Corps designed and built Addicks and Barker to hold back and control water from storms substantially larger than Harvey.
· Trial evidence showed that the Army Corps' use and occupation of over 10,000 private structures prevented $7 billion in downstream damages.

In his ruling, Judge Lettow held that the federal government's construction and operation of Addicks and Barker was a "taking" under the 5th Amendment, entitling the homeowners to Just Compensation. "The court finds that the government's actions relating to the Addicks and Barker Dams and the attendant flooding of plaintiffs' properties constituted a taking of a flowage easement under the Fifth Amendment. Thus, the court finds defendant liable" [Case 1:17-cv-09001-CFL, Sub-Master Docket No. 17-9001L].

Mr. Easterby, who has been licensed in the Court of Federal Claims since January of 2000, said the next phase of litigation is to determine the amount of compensation owed by the government. "With this win under our belt we can now turn to the damages phase, in which we'll work to collect fair compensation for our 1,000+ clients," said Mr. Easterby.

Setting a high bar for summer camp programs around the world, Robin Hood Camp offers a one-of-a-kind experience to children aged six to sixteen from the fields, lakes, and ocean of coastal Maine. Founded in 1928 by Frederic B. Littlefield and owned by his son Rick Littlefield since 1985, Robin Hood strives to achieve the unprecedented landmark goal of becoming the first 100 year father/son organization.

CARMEL, CA / ACCESSWIRE / December 18, 2019 / Led by Director Rick Littlefield, Robin Hood Camp has built a global reputation for being perhaps the best summer camp of its type in the world and has attracted four generations of children including the children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren of Presidents, European royalty, and titans of global industry. The Robin Hood summer program has been recognized by parents as a safe, nurturing, stimulating, challenging, positive, and protective environment. The Littlefields successfully maintain the camp's esteemed reputation by keeping up the quality and diversity of its programs, an unprecedented low camper to staff ratio, and upholding the traditions of family and universal values that separates itself from others..

"Parents and children who decide on the idea of a summer camp experience are hard-pressed to find a more fun and trustworthy program that excites, inspires, and challenges children. " says Rick Littlefield. "We understand that going off to camp for the first time is a big decision for both parents and children and we strive to reward their bravery with an experience of joy, away from academic pressures, and societal expectations. Children need to be shown that life can and should be a joyful experience and we do our very best to provide this."

Robin Hood Camp seeks growth and development from their campers on all levels, and, as a result, have created a summer program that takes advantage of all the rich landscape and activities Maine has to offer. The camp's unique location is one of its major draws: it borders both a three-mile lake and the coastal ocean of Maine's Penobscot Bay while taking advantage of a vast variety of land and water sport opportunities.

"We are a lifetime sports camp that accents individual skill building and fundamentals teaching, and we are committed to acquiring top of the line equipment for all our activities to learn these skills," says Rick Littlefield. "We also offer advanced champion level instruction, no other traditional camp in the world is able to offer, for the more competitive campers as well as being a great and welcoming destination for beginners. No camper should ever feel intimidated to try a sport or activity."

Campers who stay with the Littlefields at Robin Hood Camp don't have to be great athletes or highly competitive in order to succeed, either. What's more, they don't have to have any prior experience in their selected activities to participate.

Robin Hood Camp provides more than 40 sports and activity options each day that is combined with an ambitious and adventurous trip program available to kids of all ages. The Littlefields give all campers the option to build their own individualized programs, which nurtures independence and a feeling of freedom. Perhaps for the first time in their lives their opinion truly matters and they can follow or find their own passions without adult interference of teachers and parents. This, combined with the positive, enthusiastic, and unusually talented staff, helps set Robin Hood Camp from any other camp in the world.
