Last week, the Association of Clean Water Administrators (ACWA), "a national, nonpartisan professional organization . . . [whose] members are the State, Interstate and Territorial officials who are responsible for the implementation of surface water protection programs throughout the nation" issued a report titled, State Water Programs: Nutrient Reduction Programs and Methods (Dec. 2012). The 107-page report is available here (titled Nutrient Reduction Report 12-14-12).
The Congressional Research Service
(CRS), the
public policy research arm of Congress, just issued the report Clean Water Act and Pollutant Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) (Sept. 21,
2012). The 22 page report authored by Claudia Copeland discusses the basic program in Section 303(d) of the Act as well as recent developments and challenges. Included in this report are sections discussing nonpoint source, mercury, stormwater, ocean acidification, climate change and multi-jurisdicational TMDLs. All-in-all an excellent overview for the novice Clean Water Act practitioner.
