2011 LAW SEMINAR
Developments in Clean Water Law:
A Seminar for Public Agency Attorneys and Managers
November 16 - 18, 2011, Francis Marion Hotel, Charleston, S.C.

Join us November 16 -18 in beautiful Charleston, S.C. at the historic Francis Marion Hotel for the 2011 Developments in Clean Water Law Seminar.  NACWA’s Law Seminar is the only conference of its kind focused specifically on the legal and regulatory challenges facing the municipal clean water community, and this year’s Seminar promises to deliver a timely and informative program covering the hottest issues in clean water law.  The topics covered at the Seminar will span the range of legal and regulatory issues impacting the clean water utilities, with some of the top clean water attorneys in the country providing valuable analysis and insights that will be relevant to any attorney or public agency manager working on municipal wastewater and stormwater issues.

Among the subjects to be addressed at the Seminar will be a review of major regulatory developments of the past year and their legal impacts on clean water agencies, including an update on NACWA’s current litigation efforts regarding sewage sludge incineration, nutrients, and nonpoint source issues.  Wet weather concerns will also receive substantial attention, with a discussion of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) forthcoming national post-construction stormwater rule and a look at the many legal issues within EPA’s possible efforts to resume development of a sanitary sewer overflow (SSO) rule.  Tied to this will be an examination of the most recent trends in municipal wet weather consent decrees, including the growing effort to reopen existing decrees due to changed economic circumstances and the emergence of new technologies such as green infrastructure.  There will also be a review and analysis of the most important clean water legal cases of the past year and a look at recent developments in clean water enforcement actions.

As in past years, Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credits will be available for Seminar participants, including ethics credits.  More information will follow in the coming weeks and we hope to see you in Charleston!
