Influencing Regulations Through Litigation

Rubin, Kenneth A. / Pontius, Frederick W.

Like most federal environmental laws, the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), includes a specific provision that authorizes certain federal courts, at the request of anyone affected by a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) action, to review the validity of such an action. Legal challenges to drinking water regulations assist in achievement of scientifically sound, economically practicable standards. Legal challenges also help prevent implementation of technically unachievable standards. This article explains the judicial review process, describes how organizations like AWWA (as well as individual members) can become involved in this process, and examines the influence of the courts on drinking water regulations.
