Abstract

The article discusses the U.S. Supreme Court's (USSC's) ruling in the 2013 case Decker v. Northwest Environmental Defense Center (NEDC) which deals with the U.S. Clean Water Act (CWA) and judicial deference for an American government agency's interpretation of its own regulations in the aftermath of the USSC's judgment in the case Auer v. Robbins. According to the article, the NEDC filed a lawsuit under the CWA's citizen-suit provision against various logging and paper-product companies.
