The Clean Water Act (CWA) is the primary federal law governing the protection of the nation’s waters. The CWA established several programs that states and municipalities can use to reduce the amount of trash loadings into waterways. In this webinar, attendees will learn how some states in the Mid-Atlantic region are addressing trash pollution using CWA programs, including the Water Quality Standards, Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL), Nonpoint Source, and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System programs. Speakers will discuss the opportunities and limitations associated with various programmatic approaches to addressing trash loadings into waterways.

The speakers for this webinar include:

1. Jillian Adair, Standards and TMDLs Section, Water Division, EPA Region 3
2. Elizabeth Ottinger, Permits Section, Water Division, EPA Region 3
3. Mark Cameron, Section Chief, Watershed Planning and Partnerships, Baltimore City Department of Public Works
