Oyster Farming Post Draft
In The United States, the cultivation of Pacific oysters in tidal areas not only improves water quality in the ocean but oyster cultivation also works to improve government policy. Oysters farming must obey federal regulations, maps, and models. Federal regulation monitors the safety of the environment and the health effects on humans. Carlsbad Aquafarm located in Southern California is cultivating Pacific oysters by using rafts and trays to utilize space to optimize production while operating near the newly opened Lewis Carlsbad Desalination Plant. New adopted environmental impact regulations and policies were created and updated by The United States Environmental Protection Agency, which approved the location and construction of the Lewis Carlsbad Desalination Plant through the federal Clean Water Act on April 7, 2016, whose main focus was minimizing environmental impact in conjunction with Carlsbad Aquafarm. Applications and permits for aquaculture projects such as the Avalon Ocean Farm are made public and required to follow the same guidelines of the EPA and the CWA. Water Quality, Marine Mammals (including endangered species), and forecasted environmental impact evaluations are listed in the project’s description to minimize, manage, and mitigate its environmental impact.

Clean Water Act Post Draft
The EPA currently updates and publishes laboratory-based analytical test procedures that are used to identify chemical compounds and microbiological components of wastewater required by the Clean Water Act. The chemical compound test procedure includes the chemical detection of trace elements such as cancer-causing metals in conjunction with the EPA’s water quality criteria level. Microbiological test procedures use source tracking to calculate and identify biological and chemical trends that lead to new regulatory limits on new and existing contaminants.

Protected areas of the United States Post Draft *Removed*
Movements and the organization of environmental activist groups such as the Sierra Club promoted the protection of land and the animals that reside. John Muir, the first President of the Sierra Club, was considered one of the biggest inspirations for conservation. Conservational movements progressed within the government and became formally defined after John Muir met with Gifford Pinchot, the first President of the United States Forest Service. Pinchot whose conservational views leaned toward protecting nature as a usable resource varied from Muir's view, but the outcome helped created both The National Park Service and U.S. Forest Service.
