About This Course

This CLE course will provide an overview of the Clean Water Act (CWA), focusing on key regulatory concepts including water quality standards, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting framework, and total maximum daily loads. The course will also examine significant recent Supreme Court decisions affecting the scope and application of the CWA, including County of Maui v. Hawaii Wildlife Fund (2020), Sackett v. EPA (2023), and City and County of San Francisco v. EPA (2025).

Attendees will consider how these decisions have shaped CWA jurisdiction, permitting, and enforcement, as well as their potential implications for the future regulation of water pollution.
