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.

Terminations, Stop Work Orders, and De-Scopes – The Latest Updates and Recovery Opportunities for USAID Contractors and Grant Recipients

In 2025, the U.S. Government’s policy statements and Executive Orders have had far-reaching impacts for government contractors and grant recipients. Although terminations, stop work orders, and de-scopes have affected private companies, non-profits, and universities doing business across multiple agencies, the U.S. Government’s policies relating to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has caused particular confusion and uncertainty relating to performance, compliance, and contractual procedure. Key questions have included the potential impacts of official and less formal communications from the U.S. Government, procedural issues arising from the move of certain functions to the U.S. Department of State, and the effect of various pending litigations. As businesses and organizations plan for 2026, the importance of preserving their rights and maximizing potential recovery opportunities remains paramount.
