On March 3, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court decided City and County of San Francisco, California v. Environmental Protection Agency, No. 23-753, holding that Section 1311(b)(1)(A) of the Clean Water Act does not authorize the EPA to include “end-result” provisions in NPDES permits issued to entities that wish to discharge pollutants into U.S. Waters. “End-result” provisions are permit requirements that make a permittee responsible for the overall water quality in a receiving water.
