Jan Goldman-Carter manages the National Wildlife Federation campaign to restore Clean Water Act protections and works to strengthen wetland and watershed protections regionally and nationally. Jan has lectured and written extensively on Clean Water Act and wetlands laws and programs since 1987. Jan’s expertise and persistence directly led to the nation’s single most significant river protection accomplishment in 2015: the Clean Water Protection Rulemaking which provides critical legal protection to rivers, streams, wetlands and other waters across the nation and reinstates protections for drinking water supplies in approximately one-third of the country. Jan worked closely with leaders throughout the environmental NGO community to build a national coalition of voices advocating for a strong, clear rule that reestablishes protections under the Clean Water Act for thousands of waterways across the nation.
