Description

Clean Water Act Essentials 3rd Edition Allison Rumsey ISBN 9781639052172

Clean Water Act Essentials: Third Edition is a practical, practice-focused guide to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, commonly known as the Clean Water Act (CWA)—the cornerstone of federal law governing the protection of the United States’ water resources.

Designed for legal practitioners, consultants, and other professionals, this edition provides a clear overview of the CWA’s complex framework of federal and state regulations. The authors explain the statute and the landmark 1972 Amendments, which established a system of permits and standards to regulate pollutant discharges into U.S. waters and publicly owned treatment works, with a focus on compliance, implementation, and enforcement of uniform standards.

This edition delivers concise coverage of all key aspects of the Clean Water Act, including:

  • History and legislative evolution of the CWA

  • NPDES permitting process

  • Technology-based and water-quality-based effluent limitations

  • Regulation of publicly owned treatment works (POTWs) and wetlands

  • Discharges of oil, hazardous substances, and wet-weather point source flows

  • Nonpoint source pollution control

  • Enforcement mechanisms

Time-saving appendices include an acronym list, FAQs, a curated list of key cases with one-line summaries, a glossary, and bibliography. Whether you are new to environmental law or a seasoned professional, Clean Water Act Essentials: Third Edition is an indispensable, quick-reference resource for understanding the fundamentals of the CWA and navigating its practical application.
