New EPA Mandate -- Improve Transparency and Enforcement of Clean Water Act Requirements

"The first step is to improve transparency. Americans have a right to know how their government is doing in enforcing laws to protect the nations water, and government has an obligation to clearly inform the public about water quality and our actions to protect it. ...Second, we need to raise the bar for clean water enforcement performance. We must make sure that strong and effective action is taken when serious violations of law threaten water quality,..." - quote from U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lisa Jackson; quote appeared on this EPA web page.
