Agriculture and the Clean Water Act

In Food, Agricutlure, and Environmental Law (ELI 2013), leading environmental legal scholars Mary Jane Angelo, Jason Czarnezki, and Bill Eubanks, along with five distinguished contributing authors, undertake an exploration of the challenging political and societal issues facing agricultural policy and modern food systems through the lens of environmental protection laws. Below, we present the book's chapter on the Clean Water Act. Given the impact of the agriculture on wetlands and water quality, we hope the excerpt proves useful to our readers.
