Question (5 points): Some environmental regulations seem to stand alone whereas others act like add-ons. Research the CWA regulations under Section 401, Section 404, and Section 106. Explain how each of these relates to other types of environmental regulations. How did these relationships come about? Why do you think “cleaner” statutes weren’t written to put these regulations in the “right” place to begin with?

Please 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.

You must submit your essay as an attachment. Your report should be 2-3 pages and supported by at least 2 scholarly references.
