Pollution Prevention and Clean Water Act

  Description: PAGE 1: Evaluate the Pollution Prevent Act of 1990, focus on the barriers to effective implementation of the act. Use the reading attached as the basis but develop it further with additional research. Identify barriers, but do not just summarize the barriers; develop some recommendations for how this act could be changed (if it needs to be) to be more effective. Think about the difference in our regulatory philosophy between then and now, or in the economy, or whatever comes to mind as you read it. Use data, cases, and examples to support your suggestions and positions. PAGE 2: Some environmental regulations seem to stand alone whereas others act like add-ons. Research the Clean Water Act (CWA) regulations under Section 402, Section 403, and Section 405. Explain how each of these relates to other types of environmental regulations. How did these relationships come about? Why do you think 'cleaner' statutes were not written to put these regulations in the "right' place to begin with?
