Clean Water Act Regulation

Please join Holland & Knight attorneys Roger Sims, Dianne Phillips and Deborah Barnard for our highly informative presentation, "Clean Water Act Regulation: The Evolving Approach to Discharges to Groundwater Under NPDES."

Recent developments in the interpretation and application of the Clean Water Act's (CWA) jurisdiction have drawn attention to the question of discharges of pollutants to groundwater with a hydrological connection to surface water. Two U.S. Court of Appeals circuits recently issued rulings impacting this discussion, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has received hundreds of written comments in response to its February 2018 request, and a recent Senate hearing discussing the issue broke along party lines. What is going on, and how is the regulated community expected to keep up with this evolving topic?

Our panelists will help answer those questions as they discuss the history of the CWA, potential rulemaking, case law and why it all matters. We look forward to seeing you at this event.
