ELI Summer School Public Webinar
Register Now – Wednesday, June 24, 12:00-1:30 PM ET
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1948 was the first major U.S. statute targeting water pollution. Significantly expanded in 1972 to become what is now known as the Clean Water Act (CWA), today the Act is the primary federal law for controlling water pollution and regulating water quality in the waters of the United States. Though it has achieved vital successes, whether those successes can be sustained and how much further progress can be made remain fundamental questions.
This session of Summer School will explore the foundations of the CWA as well as recent developments, including the proposed updated definition of “waters of the United States” and what that would mean for wetlands protection moving forward.
Speakers:
Adam Schempp, Senior Attorney; Director, Western Water Program, Environmental Law Institute, Moderator
Adell Amos, Clayton R. Hess Professor of Law; Executive Director, Environment Initiative, University of Oregon School of Law
Nicole Granquist, Partner, Stoel Rives
Evan Isaacson, Senior Attorney; Director, Environmental Action Center, Chesapeake Legal Alliance

The series is intended for undergraduates, law students and graduate students, and working professionals new to or looking for a refresher course in environmental law.

All sessions will be recorded and available for viewing (usually within 3-5 business days) on the individual event pages.
