GAYLORD -- Kolke Creek defenders won another battle.
A circuit court judge reversed a decision made by a state administrative law judge in a long-running conflict about whether to allow treated water from a contaminated groundwater plume to be dumped into a headwaters creek of the Au Sable River. Judge Dennis Murphy ruled this week that the state Department of Environmental Quality illegally issued a cleanup permit to Merit Energy in March 2005. The ruling by Murphy, of the 46th Circuit Court, reversed a May 2006 decision of state Administrative Law Judge Richard Lacasse. Who's never won?
