MillerWashington, District of Columbia :Environmental Law Institute,2017.©20171 online resource (293 pages) illustrations1-58576-189-3 Includes bibliographical references.Introduction --"Addition" --"Pollutant" --"Navigable waters" --"Point source" --Lessons in statutory interpretation."[This book provides analyses] of each of the first four elements of a Clean Water Act offense: addition, pollutant, navigable waters, and point source. Disputes over the interpretations of these statutory terms have produced a steady stream of reported decisions since the initial implementation of the statute. Even after four decades, many of these issues are unresolved and new issues continue to arise. Judicial decisions and interpretations, however, are not the only materials studied for the analyses in this volume. Significant legislative history and administrative interpretations are analyzed as well. This book also examines what, if anything, can be learned about the process of statutory interpretation itself from studying the interpretations of the elements."--Back cover.WaterPollutionLaw and legislationUnited StatesUnited StatesfastWaterPollutionLaw and legislation344.73046343Miller Jeffrey G.67177MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910672145603321Plain meaning, precedent, and metaphysics3046952UNINA
