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.

State legislatures are also racing to implement their own regulations, particularly around AI’s use in critical areas, such as healthcare, labor and employment, and data privacy. The many sources of regulation raise the specter of a fragmented compliance environment for businesses. This webinar will delve into the Administration’s AI strategy, going beyond the headlines to analyze:...
