2.  U.S. EPA's Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA)

3.  U.S. EPA's National Polluntant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)

4.  U.S. EPA's Laws, Regulations, Guidance and Dockets 
EPA is sharing more information about ways the public can get involved in environmental regulation.  The agency has added new features to its environmental regulatory information web site titled "Laws, Regulations, Guidance and Dockets." According to the EPA,  the site's user-friendliness has been enhanced with easily accessible ways to search and comment on EPA regulations and significant guidance documents, and to learn how environmental regulations are written. The site also includes new sections for finding regulations and related documents, plus regulatory history, statutory authority, supporting analyses, compliance information, and guidance for implementation. Also, for the first time, searches for regulatory information can be conducted by environmental topics, such as water or air, or by business sectors, such as transportation or construction.

4.  NPDES General Permit for Stormwater Discharges From Construction Activities  (see Final Construction General Permit 2008) On June 30, EPA issued a final 2008 Construction General Permit (CGP) that covers discharges of stormwater from certain construction sites. Because EPA is in the process of developing a national regulation (called an Effluent Limitations Guideline) for the construction and development industry, this permit contains substantially the same terms and conditions as the 2003 CGP and has been issued for a two-year time period. The new permit applies only to “new” construction sites (e.g., those that have started construction on or after June 30, 2008 or those that started previously, but did not obtain permit coverage under the 2003 CGP).
