- W290079611 abstract "Abstract: Under the public trust doctrine, a state must hold certain types of natural resources, most particularly navigable waters and shorelands, in trust for the benefit of the public. For that reason, courts closely scrutinize state actions impacting these public trust resources. In Caminiti v. Boyle,' the Washington State Supreme Court developed a test that addresses situations where the State transfers control of public trust resources to private parties. But no firm rule guides Washington courts where a state action impacts the public trust without an alienation. This Comment examines the review Washington courts have applied in such situations, and concludes that while certain core principles are extractable - especially the principle that Washington courts' role under the public trust doctrine does not end with enforcing the rule established in Caminiti - Washington public trust law in this area remains vague. This Comment argues that reference to Wisconsin's welldeveloped doctrine would clarify and improve Washington's public trust doctrine, and proposes an analytical framework inspired by that created in Wisconsin's courts. INTRODUCTION In spite of (or perhaps because of) the froth that the public trust doctrine has generated among academics,2 the Washington judiciary has imposed it cautiously.3 Washington courts recognize that the doctrine casts them as enforcers of a public trust in certain unique public resources in which the public has an overriding interest4 - navigable waters and shorelands being the prototypical and historical examples5 - but how best to discharge this duty remains in some respects unsettled. A landmark public trust case, Caminiti v. Boyle, established that the State may not give up control of public trust lands unless it does so in such a way that the public interest in those lands - the jus publicum - is not substantially impaired.7 Caminiti did not, however, speak to situations where the trust is compromised while remaining under state control or even as a direct result of the State's actions. This raises a question: What limits does Washington's public trust doctrine impose on the State's conduct when that conduct does not transfer control of public trust land to private parties, but still impacts the jus publicum! How, for example, should courts review state action when the State wishes to reclaim public mudflats in order to build a power plant? Or to fill a wetland in order to build a highway? This Comment examines how courts review such government action under the public trust doctrine, and suggests a path towards a more complete framework. In the interest of brevity, situations where state action impacts the jus publicum without transferring control to a private party will generally be referred to as non-alienation cases. Washington courts appear to recognize that their role as protectors of the public trust involves more than an application of the principles established in Caminiti v. Boyle. When evaluating cases, courts in Washington usually do more than simply confirm that an alienation has not taken place.8 A careful reading of Washington courts' treatment of cases suggests certain principles that apply in such situations, but the cases are limited both in number and in depth. Wisconsin's courts, on the other hand, have developed a five-factor analysis with which they evaluate cases.9 The important public trust principles that sound faintly in Washington's jurisprudence are clearly enunciated in Wisconsin's. This Comment argues that Washington's courts should look to Wisconsin public trust law to distill their treatment of cases into a coherent framework. Wisconsin's approach addresses the special considerations required in cases and reflects the principles articulated in Washington's still-developing doctrine. Part I of this Comment introduces the public trust doctrine. …" @default.
