Is Fifra Enough Regulation? Failure To Obtain A Npdes Permit For Pesticide Applications May Violate The Clean Water Act, Rebecca E. Leintz

Chicago-Kent Law Review

In the summer of 1999, West Nile Virus, a mosquito-borne illness, appeared in the eastern United States and has since worked its way across the country. Thousands have been infected, and hundreds have died from the virus. Communities, struggling to protect their residents, have often been forced to employ widespread pesticide spraying to stop the virus' spread. Citizens and environmental groups, however, have expressed concern that pesticide spraying is damaging to the environment and contend that the law has been broken. They argue that when these pesticides are deposited onto water bodies, without first obtaining a permit, there is a …

Keeping Clean Waters Clean: Making The Clean Water Act's Antidegradation Policy Work, John A. Chilson

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

This Note stresses the importance of making the Clean Water Act's antidegradation policy work in order to avoid a system of national waters of equally mediocre quality. The Nation's highest quality and most important waters are not receiving appropriate protection under the Act because the antidegradation policy contains vague definitions, the states fail to review water quality standards every three years and to entertain citizens' petitions, and the Environmental Protection Agency has not taken an active role in ensuring compliance with federal standards. This Note examines the schemes of the Great Lakes States and Florida and hypothesizes that similar provisions …
