Course Description: This training provides an overview
of the Federal government and EPA's governmental role, with a
focus on EPA's implementation of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA)
and the Clean Water Act (CWA). The course begins by discussing
the evolution of our system of government: the factors leading
to the American Revolution, the principles espoused in the Constitution,
and the three branches of government. The focus then turns
to EPA and the water statutes. This portion of the course
discusses EPA's founding and how it is organized and administered
to implement SDWA and CWA. It also discusses the budget
and regulatory development processes, and implementation tools,
such as primacy, permits, and enforcement, authorized by the statutes.
Sponsored by: Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water,
U.S. EPA, Washington, D.C.
Intended for: The primary audience is new Federal employees,
as the course focuses on the roles of the Federal government generally
and EPA specifically. However, new State and Tribal staff
could also benefit.
Duration: Two days.
