Book excerpt: Thirty years after the passage of the Clean Water Act, America's waterways remain polluted. The problem is not the lack of clean water laws, but the lack of enforcement of those laws. Polluters face little threat of penalty if they violate the law--largely due to varying enforcement policies and practices among state environmental agencies. A Clean Water Enforcement Report Card presents the results of a 2003 survey of nine states, finding that many do not possess the proper laws and regulations needed to ensure full enforcement of the Clean Water Act.

Download or read book America s Environmental Report Card second edition written by Harvey Blatt and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2011-02-25 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An accessible overview of the most important environmental issues facing the United States, with new and updated material. Americans are concerned about the state of the environment, and yet polls show that many have lost faith in both scientists' and politicians' ability to solve environmental problems. In America's Environmental Report Card, Harvey Blatt sorts through the deluge of conflicting information about the environment and offers an accessible overview of the environmental issues that are most important to Americans today. Blatt has thoroughly updated this second edition, revising and adding new material. He looks at water supplies and new concerns about water purity; the dangers of floods (increased by widespread logging and abetted by glacial melting); infrastructure problems (in a new chapter devoted entirely to this subject); the leaching of garbage buried in landfills; soil, contaminated crops, and organic food; fossil fuels; alternative energy sources (in another new chapter); controversies over nuclear energy; the increasing pace of climate change; and air pollution. Along the way, he outlines ways to deal with these problems—workable and reasonable solutions that map the course to a sustainable future. America can lead the way to a better environment, Blatt argues. We are the richest nation in the world, and we can afford it—in fact, we can't afford not to.
