Clean Water Act webinar: CAFO Regulation and Wetland Regulation
Clean Water Act: CAFO Regulation and Wetland Regulation

Please join us for a webinar on how to implement the Clean Water Act in your community.

February 14, 4-5:30 p.m. CST

Topic: CAFO Regulation and Wetland Regulation

Speakers: Adam Voskuil, Staff Attorney and Rob Lee, Staff Attorney, Midwest Environmental Advocates

MEA Staff Attorney Adam Voskuil will discuss large, industrial-agricultural operations called concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) and how the Department of Natural Resources regulates CAFOs and their discharges to surface water and groundwater. MEA Staff Attorney Rob Lee will discuss the regulation of wetlands fill in Wisconsin, including the permitting process, substantive permitting standards, and public participation opportunities. Attorney Lee will also discuss the interplay between federal and state wetland regulations and how a recent decision from the U.S. Supreme Court, Sackett v. EPA, impacts that interplay.

 

Registration is free and ideal for grassroots and nonprofit organizations working to protect water in Wisconsin.

 

This webinar is a part of the series, Workshops for Advocates: Use the Clean Water Act to Protect Your Local Waters

Join River Network, Midwest Environmental Advocates, Wisconsin Lakes, and River Alliance of Wisconsin to learn how to use the Clean Water Act to protect and restore your local waters. Webinars will be held on January 17, February 14 and March 21.
