Supreme Court Clean Water Act Decision April 23, 2020: What Does it Mean for Future Groundwater Permitting?

Venable attorneys Fred Wagner, Maggie Fawal, and Katherine Sochacki will participate in a webinar, "Supreme Court Clean Water Act Decision April 23, 2020: What Does it Mean for Future Groundwater Permitting?," hosted by the National Association of Environmental Professionals (NAEP), on June 10, 2020. This presentation will address the legal arguments before the U.S. Supreme Court after the Court's historic ruling addressing the definition of "discharge" under the Clean Water Act. The panel will summarize the legal arguments before the Court and discuss the new test established by the Court identifying what constitutes a "functional equivalent" and a discharge's "specific identity" when considering discharges from point sources.
