Happy Birthday Clean Water Act! Yes, Oct. 18, 2002 is the 30th anniversary of the Clean Water Act.
EPA is pleased to mark the 30th anniversary of the Clean Water Act by announcing completion of the 44th Watershed Academy web-based training module called Introduction to the Clean Water Act. The Clean Water Act (CWA) is the cornerstone of surface water quality protection in the United States and this web-based training module provides an introduction to the major CWA programs in the following sequence: 1) water quality standards, 2) antidegradation policy, 3) waterbody monitoring and assessment, 4) reports on condition of the nation's waters, 5) total maximum daily loads (TMDLs), 6) NPDES permit program for point sources, 7) Section 319 program for nonpoint sources, 8) Section 404 program regulating filling of wetlands and other waters; 9) Section 401 state water quality certification; 10) state revolving loan fund (SRF). Users may go through the entire 65 slide module on the CWA in sequence or jump to the particular CWA program of interest by going to the CWA Big Picture that is on at the top of each slide.
