Clean Water Act Dropped Enforcement Cases
Hundreds of Clean Water Act (CWA) enforcement cases have either been dropped
completely or made lower priorities due to concerns that recent Supreme Court decisions
questioning whether certain rivers, streams, wetlands and other waters remain protected
from pollution by the Clean Water Act. This legal uncertainty has been made worse by
recent EPA and Army Corps “guidance” that has further undermined clear enforcement of
the law.
