Amendments to the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Regulations for Storm Water Discharges (US Environmental Protection Agency Regulation) (EPA) (2018 Edition) The Law Library presents the complete text of the Amendments to the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Regulations for Storm Water Discharges (US Environmental Protection Agency Regulation) (EPA) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 EPA is taking final action to codify in the Agency's regulations changes to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the "Clean Water Act" or "CWA," resulting from the Energy Policy Act of 2005. This action modifies the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System regulations to provide that certain storm water discharges from field activities or operations, including construction, associated with oil and gas exploration, production, processing, or treatment operations or transmission facilities are exempt from National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit requirements. This action also encourages voluntary application of best management practices for oil and gas field activities and operations to minimize the discharge of pollutants in storm water runoff and protect water quality. This book contains: - The complete text of the Amendments to the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Regulations for Storm Water Discharges (US Environmental Protection Agency Regulation) (EPA) (2018 Edition) - A table of contents with the page number of each section

On April 23, 2020, the United States Supreme Court issued a significant decision regarding when National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits are needed for “point source” discharges under the Clean Water Act. The Clean Water Act forbids “any addition” of any pollutant from “any point source” to “navigable waters” without an appropriate permit from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).The Supreme Court's decision stemmed from a citizens' lawsuit filed by several environmental groups against the County of Maui, Hawaii. Maui operates a wastewater reclamation facility that collects sewage from the surrounding area, partially treats it, and pumps the treated water through four wells hundreds of feet underground. This effluent, which amounts to about four million gallons a day, then travels approximately one-half mile through groundwater to the Pacific Ocean. The environmental groups claimed that Maui has been discharging a pollutant to “navigable waters,” namely, the Pacific Ocean, without an NPDES permit required by the Clean Water Act.

As technology enables better insight into the world we live in, we are increasingly aware of environmental health concerns and risks, from contaminated air and water to infectious diseases and light and noise pollution. Because the quality of our lives depends on the quality of our environment, everyone should be informed about issues in environmental health.

The set covers myriad subjects in environmental health, including all types of environmental pollution; the spread of communicable diseases and other issues in the health sciences; waste management practices; the effects of climate change on human health; children's environmental health concerns; environmental health problems unique to the urban environment; and emerging threats such as the Zika virus and hospital-acquired infections. Readers will learn about steps they can take to reduce their environmental risk, understand the effects of key international treaties and conventions and the contributions of key figures in environmental health, and also reflect on potential solutions for global challenges in environmental pollution, health sciences, energy and climate, waste management, and the built environment. No other book on the market today addresses the environmental health field in such a comprehensive manner, with the latest information provided by expert practitioners, all packed into two concise volumes.
