Resolving a hotly contested split in the lower courts as to whether a Clean Water Act NPDES permit is required for indirect discharges to navigable waters, the U.S. Supreme Courts recent decision in County of Maui, Hawaii v. Hawaii Wildlife Fund is likely to have significant ripple effects beyond its initial impact. Dischargers, agencies and courts may now confront considerably more complex technical and legal issues arising from the migration of pollutants through groundwater to surface waters. Join us for a discussion that analyzes key aspects of the Supreme Courts decision and its newly-crafted “functional equivalent test and explores the potential implications of the change in Clean Water Act jurisprudence on current and future permitting, enforcement and litigation matters.
