RECENT DISCUSSIONS HIGHLIGHT POSSIBLE CLEAN WATER ACT CHANGES

摘要

A recent House briefing on how the 35-year-old Clean Water Act (CWA) may need to be updated is highlighting several issues that could be probed further at an upcoming hearing on the act, including the need to assess the CWA's efficiency and better coordination among a variety of environmental statutes and practices.rnRep. James Oberstar (D-MN), chairman of the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee, has scheduled an Oct. 18 hearing — the 35th anniversary of the act's signing — on the "successes and challenges" of the CWA.
