063889P.pdf   08/01/2007  John Ballanger, Jr.  v.  Mike Johanns
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  06-3889
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines   
   [PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Bowman and Gruender, Circuit
   Judges]
   Civil case - Environmental law. In order to properly exhaust
   administrative remedies related to a wetlands violation determination by
   the U.S. Department of Agriculture, a landowner must specifically raise
   before the agency all of the issues he or she attempts to raise in federal
   court; here, plaintiff did not exhaust his remedies as each issue, and the
   court would not consider any unexhausted issue; agency did not err in
   determining that removal of woody vegetation constituted manipulation
   of the wetland in violation of the act.
