Clean water law is a vital foundation of environmental law. Given recent and potential future Supreme Court decisions, it is a likely bellwether for future federal and global environmental protection. This course is important to students interested in gaining experience in working with statutes, regulatory requirements and working with governmental agencies. The course will cover the history, development, and implementation of the federal Clean Water Act, related provisions, policies and case law and state analogues. It will go beyond classic waste water treatment permitting and enforcement issues to include climate change considerations. The course will include in-class exercises in practical regulatory analysis and client advice, much as would be expected of an associate in a law firm or a staff attorney in an administrative or enforcement agency. Grades will be based upon a final take home exam and class participation.
