Supreme Court Rules on Flow Control
A much anticipated ruling from the US Supreme Court was made April 30, 2007, concluding in a 6-3 decision that, in effect, allows counties or solid waste authorities to flow control waste to facilities owned or operated by those public sector entities. The court ruled that this sort of flow control was different from the situation contested in the C & A Carbone, Inc. v. Town of Clarkstown in 1994. That ruling stated that "a so-called flow control ordinance, which require[d] all solid waste to be processed at a designated transfer station before leaving the municipality,' discriminated against interstate commerce and was invalid under the Commerce Clause because it "deprived competitors, including out-of-state firms, of access to a local market."The Chief Justice delivered the opinion of the Court in this case, concluding that the Counties' flow control ordinances, which treat in-state private business interests exactly the same as out-of-state ones, do not discriminate against interstate commerce. Given its contrasting circumstances, the court ruled in this recent case, United Haulers Association, Inc. v. Oneida-Herkimer Solid Waste Management Authority, that flow control ordinances involving public facilities should be viewed differently than those involving privately held companies. The majority felt that "treating public and private entities the same under the dormant Commerce Clause would lead to unprecedented and unbounded interference by the courts with state and local government." A complete summary can be viewed along with links to other reports on the ruling (PDF: 36 KB, 1 pg.).

On Monday, April 30, 2007, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision in the case of United Haulers Association v. Oneida-Herkimer Solid Waste Management Authority.
