Book excerpt: "Clean water is essential to human life. Water quality has been defined in the United States as a policy problem, worthy of public attention and action. The growth of industry, urbanization, and agriculture, along with increases in human population, have placed much of the nation's supply of water in jeopardy. The issue of environmental protection, especially the protection of water quality, is fundamental to the health and welfare of the population"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Water Quality Act of 1987 ushered in a new era of clean water policy to the US. The Act stands today as the longest-lived example of national water quality policy. It included a then-revolutionary funding model for wastewater infrastructure - the Clean Water State Revolving Fund - which gave states much greater authority to allocate clean water infrastructure resources. Significant differences between states exist in terms of their ability to provide adequate resources for the program, as well as their ability (or willingness) to meet the wishes of Congress to serve environmental needs and communities. This book examines the patterns of state program resource distribution using case studies and analysis of state and national program data. This book is important for researchers from a range of disciplines, including water, environmental and infrastructure policy, federalism/intergovernmental relations, intergovernmental administration, and natural resource management, as well as policy makers and policy advocates.

Book excerpt: The definitive practical resource to the provisions and complexities of the federal Clean Water Act and how it continues to evolve, this book is written by many of the country's most knowledgeable experts on the CWA. It is an authoritative, balanced resource for understanding this complex statute and its implementing regulations and guidelines. Beginning with an overview of the CWA's provisions and pertinent regulation and enforcement issues, subsequent chapters address specific issues, such as: NPDES permits; control of publicly owned treatment works; requirements applicable to indirect discharges; regulation of wetlands and the impact of recent judicial decisions; oil and hazardous substance spills; enforcement options; and judicial review. Chapters begin with a section on applicability and scope. Within each fully annotated chapter, clear explanations of specific statutory and regulatory provisions and court decisions applicable to the issue are presented for full and accurate analysis - a virtual checklist of requirements and considerations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental problems in coastal ecosystems can sometimes be attributed to excess nutrients flowing from upstream watersheds into estuarine settings. This nutrient over-enrichment can result in toxic algal blooms, shellfish poisoning, coral reef destruction, and other harmful outcomes. All U.S. coasts show signs of nutrient over-enrichment, and scientists predict worsening problems in the years ahead. Clean Coastal Waters explains technical aspects of nutrient over-enrichment and proposes both immediate local action by coastal managers and a longer-term national strategy incorporating policy design, classification of affected sites, law and regulation, coordination, and communication. Highlighting the Gulf of Mexico's "Dead Zone," the Pfiesteria outbreak in a tributary of Chesapeake Bay, and other cases, the book explains how nutrients work in the environment, why nitrogen is important, how enrichment turns into over-enrichment, and why some environments are especially susceptible. Economic as well as ecological impacts are examined. In addressing abatement strategies, the committee discusses the importance of monitoring sites, developing useful models of over-enrichment, and setting water quality goals. The book also reviews voluntary programs, mandatory controls, tax incentives, and other policy options for reducing the flow of nutrients from agricultural operations and other sources.
