  2. Improving The Resilience Of A UV System For Wastewater Disinfection 7/18/2024
    One important consequence of climate change for wastewater treatment plants is that they now need to cope with sudden increases in the effluent volume with the receiving waterbodies equally carrying more water and being in flood conditions. This is especially true for the final treatment step — disinfection prior to discharge.

  8. What's Next After Supreme Court Curbs Regulatory Power: More Focus On Laws' Wording, Less On Their Goals 7/1/2024

    Federal Chevron deference is dead. SCOTUS overturned a 40-year-old legal tenet that when a federal statute is silent or ambiguous about a particular regulatory issue, courts should defer to the implementing agency’s reasonable interpretation of the law. At question is whether most courts will still listen to expert federal agencies in determining which interpretations make the most sense.
