From the Paper
"The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, or Clean Water Act, is the principal law governing pollution of the country?s surface waters. Originally enacted in 1948, the act was totally amended in 1972 that gave it the current shape. The 1972 legislation contained ambitious programs for improvement in water quality. These have since been expanded and are still being implemented by municipalities and industries. Congress made minor amendments in 1977, revised certain portions of the law in 1981, and enacted further amendments in 1987."

Abstract
This paper discusses that, although corporate criminals still get away without severe punishment, because of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 and the Clean Water Act in 1977, they at least are being forced to comply with these laws. The author points out that big businesses, large corporations and wealthy individuals are treated differently than the average citizen under the law because these powerful interests wield power through lobby groups and political donations. The paper stresses that, since harm is the most central aspect of criminal law, the punishment against corporate criminals should be much greater.
From the Paper
"One thing is for sure, that if an individual got caught illegally dumping old engine oil, they would face the maximum penalty under the law. It is insane. The corporations poison our environment making the world unsafe for our children, but rarely are they punished. If an individual poisons their child, the government would lock the door and throw away the key. Drug laws are a perfect example of how individuals are held more accountable under criminal law than corporate giants are. Any woman who gives birth to a premature baby is drug tested along with the baby. If the baby tests positive, the mother is charged with child abuse and the baby removed from her custody. However, thousands perhaps millions of children drink tainted water or food everyday, but the criminals in these attacks are hardly ever brought to justice."

From the Paper
"Congress passed the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972, commonly known as the Clean Water Act (CWA), which is contained in Chapter 33, Sections 1251 to 1299 of the Act. It grew from the Water Pollution Control Act of 1948, in which Congress authorized the federal government to give state and local governments money to solve water pollution problems (Richman, 1999, p. 1). The act included a grant program to provide money to help local governments design and plan wastewater problems, but the money was never appropriated. Over the next two decades, Congress passed two Federal Water Pollution Control Acts (FWPCA), in 1956 and in 1961, and the Water Quality Act in 1965 (Richman, 1999, p. 2). The 1956 act created the Construction Grants Program, administered by the Public Health Service, to give money to local governments for up to 30 percent..."

From the Paper
"In 1990, the Clean Air Act was passed, with its amendments that mandated the creation of the Employee Commute Option. Its goal was relatively simple. All companies with 100 or more employees were required to reduce by 25 percent the number of vehicle miles that their workers traveled during their morning rush hour. This was to be accomplished through vanpools, working from home via computer, transit subsidies, or other means (Stranahan 130).
A successful employer trip-reduction program might include incentives to rideshare or take transit, and disincentives to commuters who drive alone. Employers can provide preferential parking for vanpool and carpool vehicles, or direct financial incentives. For example, carpoolers could go through an express line in the company cafeteria ("At Issue" 401)."

"Clean Air Act of 1990
This paper will briefly discuss the amendments to the Clean Air Act, passed by Congress in 1990. The discussion will include a description of the Act, the changed regulatory philosophy reflected in the Act, the political maneuvering necessary to pass the Act, and the subsequent implementation of the Act. It is still too early to determine the effectiveness of the Act since many of the regulations promulgated by the Environmental Protection Agency under the Act have yet to go into effect. The last part of the paper will therefore highlight the possible consequences of the Act, as suggested by observers.
The 1990 Clean Air Act is actually a series of amendments to the Clean Air Act of 1970. These amendments, however, virtually replace many of the provisions of the 1970 Act and comprise, in..."

From the Paper
"This paper will trace the legislative history of the 1990 amendments to the Clean Air Act. On June 12, 1989, President Bush introduced his proposal for a new clean air package.1 This package was designed to update the Clean Air Act which was passed in 1970. The last amendments to this act had been instituted in 1977. Despite the Clean Air Act and its amendments, it was apparent in the late 1980s that air pollution was still a serious problem in the United States. In particular, it was noted that "most urban areas still violate air-quality standards for ozone, which is caused largely by pollutants from industrial facilities, chemical plants and motor vehicles, and carbon monoxide, which comes primarily from automobiles."2 In addition, acid rain had become increasingly widespread in the northeastern part of the country. Efforts at legislative action to address these issues ... "

From the Paper
"Introduction
Individual workers have often looked to the government for protection against what they consider unfair hiring or promotional activities by employers. Discrimination based on race, gender, religious affiliation and other differentiating factors has been generally outlawed, and affirmative action (among other policies) has been implemented in many areas to redress previous wrongs. One of the groups which has sought protection and accommodation are those individuals with disabilities, although that term does not specify the types of conditions which render a person disabled. This research examines the Americans with Disabilities Act, how a company might comply with the Act, and the actions which could be taken with regard to the Act."

Abstract
This paper explains that ballast water brings along plants, animals, bacteria, and pathogens that have the potential to become aquatic nuisance species (ANS). The author points out that the Clean Water Act (CWA) of the U.S. protects the waters from chemical dumping, but does not regulate ballast waters. The paper relates that only 20 percent of the people residing in the U.S. are aware of the serious threats that ballast water poses to the marine ecosystem.

From the Paper
"One predatory fish species could seriously harm the local ecosystem. The introduction of the Zebra mussels into the Great Lakes in USA has infested over 40% of internal waterways. It has already cost the United States of America $ 5 billion, a phenomenal amount. Moreover, even after spending this amount there is no solution in sight as to how they can be eradicated or even contained."
