Water and Wastewater Outlook 2021

All indicators point to a 180-degree turn from the Trump de-regulatory effort. The question becomes where will the Biden administration start? On his first day in office, President Biden published a “List of Agency Actions for Review.” (See Fact Sheet: List of Agency Actions for Review | The White House) that identifies more than 100 regulations and executive actions issued by the Trump administration between January 20, 2017 and January 20, 2021, including 48 regulations issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Several of these identified regulations address water and wastewater issues.
