Abstract

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has issued an Interpretative Statement that sets forth the EPA’s interpretation of the Clean Water Act (CWA), National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program’s applicability to releases of pollutants from a point source to groundwater that subsequently migrate or are conveyed by groundwater to jurisdictional surface waters. This Interpretative Statement reflects the EPA’s consideration of the public comments received in response to its February 20, 2018 Federal Register notice. Concurrently with issuing its interpretation of the CWA, the EPA is soliciting additional public input regarding what may be needed to provide further clarity and regulatory certainty on this issue.
