	Ethical Responsibilities for an Impaired Partner
		Impaired partners, like impaired family members and friends, can profoundly affect the lives of those who are close to them.
		This past summer the ABA issued Formal Ethics Opinion 03-429 entitled “Obligations with Respect to Mentally Impaired Lawyer in the Firm.” The opinion analyzes the ethical obligations of partners to: (1) adopt measures to prevent impaired lawyers from violating the ethics rules; and (2) report ethical violations committed by impaired lawyers in the firm.
		Instead, impaired attorneys are frequently protected or enabled by their colleagues and staff, which in turn fosters opportunities for misconduct and unethical behavior.”Ftn 4 This type of “enabling” behavior is sometimes motivated by misguided concern for the impaired lawyer.

	§ 39. impaired. 6. Names and Labels. The American Heritage Book of English Usage. 1996
		The use of impaired in such expressions as hearing-impaired or visually impaired is a recent addition to the vocabulary of disability.
		When used as euphemisms for deaf or blind, these terms are superfluous at best and may even be offensive if taken to imply that deafness and blindness are too disturbing to mention directly.
		Thus a person is best described as hearing-impaired if he or she has a partial hearing loss and as deaf if the loss is profound.

	MEI > Environmental Policy > Projects> Impaired Waters
		THE PARTNERSHIP - THE IMPAIRED WATERS STAKEHOLDER PROCESS Beginning in July of 2003, the Minnesota Environmental Initiative led a collaborative effort to develop a broadly-supported plan for identifying and studying impaired waters, restoring impaired rivers, lakes and streams and preventing pristine waters from becoming contaminated.
		The process was designed to produce policy outcomes that embody the diverse interests the state's residents bring to water quality issues, and to ensure provisions of the federal Clean Water Act are implemented reasonably, creatively, and in a way that significantly improves the water quality in our rivers, lakes and streams.
		Once a little-appreciated provision of the federal Clean Water Act, impaired waters have become widely accepted among policymakers as a problem that must be addressed and as one deserving of significant funding.

		The treatment process used to treat the extremely impaired source prior to direct usage in a domestic water distribution system must be commensurate with the degree of risk associated with the contaminants present.
