Supreme Court of Oklahoma
Leo v. Oklahoma Water Resources Board
October 3, 20232023 OK 96
Summary
The Supreme Court of Oklahoma affirmed the district court's jurisdiction to review the Oklahoma Water Resources Board's permit order and upheld the Board's decision to grant the City of Oklahoma City a stream water permit, finding the agency’s actions supported by substantial evidence and that petitioners lacked standing and due‑process violations. The Court also held that the statutory requirement to name respondents does not obligate petitioners to name the City as a respondent.
