"A little fill here and there may seem to be nothing to become excited about. But one fill, though comparatively inconsequential, may lead to another, and another, and before long a great body may be eaten away until it may no longer exist.

PSC and buttressing The Public Trust Doctrine, Article IX of the Wisconsin State Constitution.
