[QUOTE="inactive, post: 3237727, member: 7488"] Interesting point! Given they're a sovereign government entity, a nation of sorts, they could well try to gain standing for a suit (especially if Royal v. Murphy states the reservations are still intact). But individuals likely stand zero chance. Many suits have reinforced the sovereign immunity of the Corps of Engineers. [URL='https://www.nwk.usace.army.mil/About/Offices/Office-of-Counsel/Claims-Information/']One could [I]try[/I] a claim under the Federal Tort Claims Act,[/URL] but given this was a release of water during a flood emergency one would be hard-pressed to label it as negligent.
