About the Book
This updated guide is the definitive resource to the provisions and complexities of the federal Clean Water Act (CWA) and how it continues to evolve. Recent court rulings and the change of administration have resulted in significant changes that dramatically affect practitioners working in the area. This new edition provides detailed explanations of these changes and considers the impact of recent court decisions, including the Supreme Court's decision in SWANCC and the Court of Appeals decisions in American Mining Assoc., Talent Irrigation, and Forsgren, among others.
With chapters written by 18 of the country's most knowledgeable experts on the CWA, this comprehensive book is a compilation of their experience in understanding this complex statute and its implementing regulations and guidelines. Every chapter has been significantly rewritten to reflect new judicial and regulatory interpretations.
Beginning with an overview of the law's provisions and pertinent regulation and enforcement issues, subsequent chapters address specific issues, such as:
NPDES permits
Control of publicly owned treatment works
Requirements applicable to indirect discharges
The regulation of wetlands and the impact of recent judicial decisions
Oil and hazardous substance spills
Enforcement options under Section 309
Judicial review
Important new chapters have been added that deal with areas of the law that have faced recent dramatic expansion. These chapters address the diverse issues raised by the Total Maximum Daily Load program that impact point and nonpoint source control, and wet weather regulations, such as storm water and feed lot regulations.
Chapters in The Clean Water Act Handbook begin with a section on applicability and scope. Within each fully annotated chapter, clear explanations of specific statutory and regulatory provisions and court decisions applicable to the issue are presented in the order needed for full and accurate analysis - a virtual checklist of requirements and considerations. Making this new edition more useful than ever, the authors reference URL addresses for quick, up-to-the-minute information on government documents that are often difficult to locate.
