Local environmental issues focus of talk at Ripon College

In the United States, the regulation of business activities provides one approach to certain basic environmental goals that address the quality of air and water, including drinking water and the safe management of solid waste. The regulatory structure in these areas is federal, with distinct roles for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, and for state and local governments. 

Ripon alumnus David Schwarz ’65 of Washington, D.C., and attorney and Ripon College adjunct professor Steven Sorenson will outline these roles.
