Write a 5-7 page essay (excluding title page and references) on the following:  Pick ONE environmental law or regulation, explain its history, purpose and goals in detail, and evaluate its successes and failures since enactment. Use subsequent court and legislative events, as well as information from the internet and/or printed literature, to help in your evaluation.  Most students pick either the CWA, CAA or the ESA.  There are a whole lot more laws and regulations out there.....pick something interesting and applicable to your life. 

You are required to use specific facts, cases, and multiple citations (I suggest 5-10 or more) in order to make a good grade on this assignment.  You are required to integrate your course materials and concepts as well.   Show me what you know and what you have learned!  This single question is worth 20% of your grade in this course....give it the time and attention it deserves. 

As always, cite all sources used both within and at the end of your answer. A fully developed response should go beyond your textbook and required readings (although may include them), have multiple citations from valid sources (no wiki-anything; use .gov, .edu. or .org websites) and should avoid direct quotes from others; rather relying on your own synthesis.
