"Supreme Court: Clean Water Act Case Could Have Sweeping Impacts"

"The Supreme Court is taking up another far-reaching debate over the scope of the Clean Water Act.

The justices this morning agreed to hear County of Maui, Hawaii v. Hawai'i Wildlife Fund, a case involving whether the law covers pollution that moves through groundwater before reaching a federal waterway.

Environmental groups, states, industry and conservatives are watching the case closely, as its outcome could clarify or narrow EPA's historical interpretation of the types of pollution discharges covered by the Clean Water Act."
