The Administrative Court dismissed the plaintiff's appeal, ruling that residing near a water project does not confer standing in water law permit proceedings. The appellant, a resident of a row house owned by an apartment company, argued for involvement in the permit process. The court held that proximity to the project is insufficient to establish the necessary legal interest required to challenge the permit decision.
