Audio for "Opportunities for Citizen Involvement in the Clean Water Act," Apr 19, 2006 (Part 1 of 2)

This Webcast will highlight opportunities for citizen involvement in state and local implementation of the Clean Water Act (CWA). The CWA provided specifically for public participation in most elements, yet groups and individuals working to protect and restore water bodies that matter to them may not know how to use the law in their efforts. To better inform citizens of the available CWA tools, this Webcast will focus on water quality standards and how they play into the development of the threatened and impaired waters list, National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits, section 319 watershed plans, and development and implementation of Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs).
