Panel 1 I Organized by UC Law SF
The "End Result" of SF v. EPA: What the End of Receiving Water Limitations Means for CWA Practitioners
SCOTUS recently held in City and County of San Francisco v. EPA (2025) that “end-results” limitations are outside EPA’s statutory authority and therefore cannot be included in NPDES (National Pollution Discharge Elimination System) permits. "End result" limitations, also known as receiving water limitations, have played a significant role in Clean Water Act stormwater permits by allowing EPA to enforce such permits based on the quality of the receiving waters. By prohibiting the use of receiving water limitations in CWA permits, the SF v. EPA decision has significant implications for EPA's ability to effectively enforce water quality standards. This panel will address questions such as: what does the decision mean for government and citizen Clean Water Act enforcement? How can and should the state respond to fill in the gaps this decision leaves in CWA enforcement?
