I propose a re-interpretation of the late-1960s' and early-1970s' burst of U.S. federal environmental legislation, focusing on the National Environmental Policy Act and the Clean Water Act. These laws inaugurated contemporary U.S. environmental law and influenced environmental law abroad. Departing from the conventional understanding, my project will develop an account of these laws' combination of (1) energetic administrative capacity for environmental protection and (2) a deep epistemic humility, sometimes dissuading anthropogenic management altogether. The project explicates a founding vision of environmental-bureaucratic governance, and, beyond the academy, would advance courts/agencies' understanding of these major environmental laws.

我建议重新解读20世纪60年代末和70年代初美国联邦环境立法的爆发，重点是《国家环境政策法案》和《清洁水法》。这些法律开创了当代美国环境法，并影响了国外的环境法。脱离传统的理解，我的项目将阐述这些法律的组合(1)精力充沛的环境保护行政能力和(2)深刻的认识性谦逊，有时甚至完全阻止人为管理。该项目阐明了环境官僚治理的创始愿景，并将在学院之外促进法院/机构对这些主要环境法的理解。
