Read the above articles.
As you read the articles. Keeping in mind that the CWA was ratified in 1972 and ammended in 1977.
1. What types of water are NOT covered by the Clean Water Act?
2. What types of runoff are NOT addressed in the latest version of the CWA?

If you were a lobbyist how would you create awareness over issues that should be addressed concerning all forms of water as it pertains to human health and environmental integrity? Have the answers to these questions ready for our initial discussion on Fossil Fuels. Look up any instances where the CWA needs to be changed and enforced to protect sensitive environments.

Don't forget to comment at the bottom!
