The Clean Water Act and the Constitution, 2nd Edition: Legal Structure and the Public's Right to a Clean and Healthy Environment by Robin Kundis Craig

 

Agenda for a Sustainable America

“One of the most revolutionary statutes ever enacted by Congress, the Clean Water Act has produced remarkable progress over the past 25 years. Much of that progress, however, is threatened today --- and some of those threats come from a number of recent Supreme Court decisions. Professor Craig’s book presents a thorough, straightforward examination of the Clean Water Act’s approach to delegated federalism and the constitutional provisions that have both empowered and bedeviled the statute. Her book deserves a place on the bookshelves of all those who are seasoned CWA lawyers as well as those who are learning to navigate one of the most complex statutes ever written.”
