Federal Regulation of Pollutants

Waterkeeper Alliance works to secure on-the-ground implementation and enforcement of environmental laws, including the Clean Water Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), the Clean Air Act (CAA), the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) and the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act (EPCRA).  

At the federal level, to meet our goals of ensuring optimum implementation and enforcement of environmental laws, Waterkeeper Alliance focuses our administrative efforts in three main areas:

  1. Federal Rulemaking Oversight and Public Participation
  2. Federal Rulemaking Petitions
  3. Federal Policy Initiatives and Government Reform
 
Take Action  Restore the Public's Right to Know


The Bush Administration passed a rule allowing factory farms to hide information about toxic pollutants. Ask the EPA to withdraw that rule and allow communities to protect themselves.
