Clean Water Act 2020: Law & Regulation Webcast

Webinar | 12.02.20 - 12.03.20, 7:00 PM EST - 7:00 PM EST

Crowell & Moring Counsel Amanda Berman will be sitting on the "Northern Plains Resource Council v. U.S. Army Corps and Nationwide Permits" panel at this year's Clean Water Act Webcast. The panel will be held on Friday, December 4th at 2 p.m. EST.


While many are familiar with the history of Clean Water Act litigation over the permitting of pipelines, this year’s Northern Plains case (challenging Nationwide Permit authorizations for Keystone XL Pipeline crossings of the Yellowstone and Cheyenne Rivers) may have changed the landscape. The panel will discuss the arguments raised in the case (and in other similar cases), court rulings, and the U.S. Army Corps’ reissuance of Nationwide Permits, in part, to address the outcome of the litigation.

An ELI Public Webinar - Understanding the Basics of Extended Producer Responsibility in the United States

To reduce waste and encourage recycling, an increasing number of international, federal, and local jurisdictions are embracing extended producer responsibility (EPR) laws, which have wide-reaching compliance implications for product manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and other entities falling within the varying definitions of “producers.” EPR laws assign covered producers greater responsibility for the full lifecycle of their products and establish mandatory requirements for reporting, source reduction, and financial contributions to third-party entities, known as producer responsibility organizations. EPR requirements apply to a variety of consumer product categories, including batteries, electronics, mattresses, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and, most recently, packaging and paper products.
