LAW 482 - The Clean Water Act


What do rivers on fire, giant floating mats of seaweed, and coal mining in Appalachia all have in common? The Clean Water Act.  This course will explore the history of the Clean Water Act, discuss its mechanisms for limiting water pollution, and analyze how far we’ve come in achieving Congress’ goal of protecting water quality so that America’s water bodies are “fishable and swimmable.”
