Summary:

Examines Federal circuit court ruling in Arkansas Game & Fish Comm'n v. United States , which held that Federal Government must pay Arkansas $5.8 million (plus interest from 2000) for a Fifth Amendment taking of State-owned timber caused by Army Corps of Engineers releases of water from one of its dams which resulted in temporary flooding. Considers implications of Federal Circuit Court and Supreme Court rulings for other cases involving asserted takings of property rights based on the Corps of Engineers intentional releases from its levees, as well as more frequent extreme precipitation events resulting from climate change.
