<p>For those of you who already took the exam, what are the more important and useful laws to use for the test tomorrow?</p>
<p>I’ll also be taking the exam tomorrow, but laws you should know are</p>
<p>National Environmental Policy Act NEPA - requires statements on federal projects
Clean Air Act CAA - sets emission standards, cap-and-trade SO2 program in 1990
Clean Water Act CWA - regulates sewage, discharge, wetlands
Endangered Species Act ESA - protects endangered species
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act RCRA - manages from “cradle to grave” the disposal of hazardous waste
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act CERCLA - set up Superfund to clean up sites, “polluter pays” policy</p>
<p>Those are the big ones you should be familiar with.</p>
<p>I would also know the
Safe Drinking Water Act
FIFRA</p>
<p>Clean Air Act also sets the National Ambient Air Quality Standards</p>
