The Clean Water Act Owner’s Manual River Network How to use this book… Welcome to River Network’s second edition of The Clean Water Act Owner’s Manual! Are you curious about the Clean Water Act and what it means? Did someone recommend that you use the Clean Water Act to solve a problem in your community? Have you heard about a partic- ular section of the Clean Water Act that you want to use to protect your watershed? No matter what you need to know, we believe that this book can provide answers and tools to help you. We want this book to be as useful as possible so please take a few moments with these intro- ductory pages to learn how to use it. The first eight chapters discuss key Clean Water Act provisions, or tools, that citizens will find most useful. In each, you’ll find a main text that explains specifically how the law works in question and answer format. There are several types of sidebars, explained in the “Quick Reference” section (sidebar p.5). At the end of each chapter (and at the end of some sections) you will find an “Action Checklist” that summarizes step-by-step how you can apply each CWA provision, and a “Local Story” that illus- trates how citizens used the tools laid out in the chapter to make a difference in their watershed. We strongly recommend you begin with the first two chapters, Water Quality Standards and NPDES permits. These tools are the basis for so many of the other tools that we start all workshops, whether it is a workshop on stormwater permits, watershed restoration plans or wetland protection, with at least a brief overview of them. Once you learn these fundamentals, you’ll be able to use them to address many issues. You may then choose to keep reading straight through the book or to go directly to specific CWA provisions that will help you to solve your water quality problem. Chapter 9, Solving Problems,offers very brief suggestions about which tools to use (both Clean Water Act and other laws) to address sev- eral problems. Review the Table of Contents to find the most relevant pages in Chapter 9. For each topic, there is a brief overview of the issues and a synopsis of which CWA tools might best address the problem. From there, you can return to the chapters for more detail on specific tools. For exam- ple, if stormwater pollution is the big problem you face, read the suggestions in Chapter 9 and then refer back to the referenced chapters on NPDES permits (Chapter 3) and impaired waters (Chapter 4). Chapter 9 also describes how other environmental laws might work in conjunction with the Clean Water Act to help solve your problem. These other laws are further explained in Chapter 10: Other Laws to Protect Your Watershed. Please don’t be scared off by a term you don’t understand in Chapter 9: Solving Problems. It is meant to be a quick reference to direct you back to relevant chapters. Every suggestion in Chapter 9 is explained in more detail elsewhere in the book. 4 How to use this book Finally, in Chapter 11, you will find helpful resources for additional information and, at the very Quick Reference: end of the book, a glossary of terms. A key to icons used in this book Without community attention to local waters, full protection of the uses and values is not achieved. Today, with limited resources at the local, state and federal levels, and political pressures to weaken CWA protections, most implementation and enforcement of the Clean Water Act is “complaint-driven.” For direct references to language from the Clean Water Concerned citizens are THE driving force behind the Act. Together we must build a strong team of local- Act and the federal regulations that implement the Act. ly involved citizens who can offer information and ideas proactively and who can insist on enforcement of required protections. At no time since the Clean Water Act was passed in 1972 has our vigilance been so important. We must rise to the challenge and implement the vision of this law - to restore and main- tain the chemical, physical and biological integrity of the nation’s waters. I For background and details on a particular topic. For historical background on particular tools. For other resources on specific topics. For public involvement and action opportunities to protect your watershed. For concrete examples of how the Clean Water Act has been put to work. 5 The Clean Water Act Owner’s Manual River Network TableofContents A Foreword by Jimmy Carter 8 Introduction 11 Goals of the Clean Water Act 12 Chapter 1: Setting Watershed Goals: Water Quality Standards (Section 303) 15 G Designated Uses 19 G Water Quality Criteria 26 G Antidegradation 35 G Triennial Review 45 Chapter 2: Permitting Pollution: National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (Section 402) 51 G General Principles Applicable to All NPDES Permits 55 G Influencing the Permit Process 64 G Broader Application of NPDES Permits 74 G Tips for Testifying 88 Chapter 3: Identifying Problems and Restoring Watersheds (Section 303) 91 G Step one: Threatened and Impaired Waters List 92 G Step two: Watershed Restoration Plans (Total Maximum Daily Loads/TMDLs) 99 Chapter 4: State Oversight of Federal Permits (Section 401) 109 Chapter 5: Protecting Wetlands through Dredge and Fill Permits (Section 404) 117 Chapter 6: Nonpoint Source Pollution Control (Section 319) 131 6 Subhead Chapter 7: State Water Pollution Control Revolving Funds (Title VI) 139 Chapter 8: Citizen Enforcement of the Clean Water Act (Section 505) 147 Chapter 9: Solving Problems 155 G Drinking Water Contamination 156 G Poor Development and Sprawl 158 G Poor Stormwater Management 160 G Combined and Sanitary Sewer Overflows 162 G Destruction of Wetlands 164 G Loss of Natural Streamflows 166 G Dam Building and Poor Operation 168 G Poor Agricultural Practices and Runoff 170 G Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations 172 G Poor Mining Practices and Abandoned Mines 174 G Poor Forestry Practices 176 G Loss of Species and Ecological Integrity 178 Chapter 10: Other Laws to Protect Your Watershed 181 Chapter 11: Collecting Information About Your Watershed 193 Glossary 206 References 7 The Clean Water Act Owner’s Manual River Network A Foreword by Jimmy Carter lean water is a basic human right. Without it, the other rights may not even matter. Human Csocieties cannot be healthy, prosperous and just without adequate supplies of clean water. What could be a more basic right than clean water? It has been said that we are what we eat, but it might be more accurate to say that we are what we drink. Our bodies are 70% water; our brains are 95% water. Human beings can survive up to a month without food but not more than a few days without water.

  • Pitty Em “Sete Vidas”
    PITTY EM “SETE VIDAS” Cantora chega ao Teatro Riachuelo no encerramento do Festival DoSol A baiana Pitty está de volta ao Teatro Riachuelo trazendo na bagagem o seu novo show “Sete Vidas” que vem arrebatando grandes públicos pelo Brasil. Depois de um período à frente do Agridoce, projeto mais acústico e intimista da cantora, Pitty volta ao rock com um disco novo, potente e popular. O show acontecerá no dia 10 de novembro e marcará o encerramento do Festival DoSol 2014, um dos eventos musicais mais tradicionais da cidade. Sobre “Sete Vidas”: São 5 anos desde que foi lançado "Chiaroscuro" (2009), o álbum de estúdio anterior de Pitty, e, com ele, o hit "Me Adora", que conquistou todo o país ao apresentar uma faceta inédita da cantora, compositora e multi-instrumentista. Desde então Pitty compôs com o guitarrista Martin Mendonça o duo Agridoce, que aprofundou a exploração de novos caminhos musicais, dessa vez pelo folk psicodélico, e ambos passaram por todo o Brasil com a turnê do elogiado álbum. De lá pra cá o que mais aconteceu? A resposta vem direta logo após o término da primeira audição de seu novo álbum, "SETEVIDAS" (2014): tudo o que acontece entre um trabalho e outro e que atende pelo nome de Vida. Não foram exatamente sete vidas, como sugere a faixa-título do álbum, afinal, como canta Pitty, "ainda me restam três vidas pra gastar". Mas o suficiente para que compusesse um álbum permeado por temas que relatam a sobrevivência que nunca capitula ao meramente existir: por vezes resiliente, mas sempre observadora e contestadora.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MEDIA CONTACT Elizabeth Page | (512) 936-4607 [email protected] Austin favorites to play final Music Under the Star this Friday Quiet Company with Riders Against the Storm wrap up free concert series July 19, 2016 (AUSTIN, TX) — The Bullock Texas State History Museum's final Music Under the Star free concert is slated for Friday, July 22 featuring local indie-rock favorite Quiet Company with the dynamic hip/hop duo Riders Against the Storm opening the show. This family friendly concert will be held on the Lone Star Plaza of the museum, 1800 N. Congress Ave., with music beginning at 6 p.m. and free parking on-site after 5 p.m. Everyone is encouraged to bring camp chairs or blankets, and food and beverages will be for sale at the concert. Through the release of three LPs and endless touring, Quiet Company has been making a name for itself nationally with energetic live shows and their dynamic indie-rock sound – called by critics a mix of the Beatles, Death Cab for Cutie, Arcade Fire and Weezer. They’ve gained a large fanbase and garnered praise from The New York Times, TIME, NPR, The Austin Chronicle and more. Quiet Company's fourth full length-record, Transgressor, is the much anticipated follow up to the critically acclaimed We Are All Where We Belong (2011). Recorded in 14 intense days of live tracking at the state of the art Orb Recording Studios in Austin, the band captured a guitar-driven larger-than-life sound, recruiting producer Matt Noveskey (Blue October, IAMDYNAMITE) and mix engineer Tim Palmer (U2, Pearl Jam, Bowie).

  • Order of Worship As the Prelude Begins, We Invite You Into a Period of Quiet Reflection As We Prepare for Worship
    Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church Sixteenth Sunday after Pentecost September 29, 2019 • 11:00 am Soichi Watanabe, Kyrie Eleison (Matthew 20:30), 2006 this is god’s house. all are welcome. Welcome to Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church Whether you are visiting for the first time, or are a longtime member, we are blessed to have you with us. The cover of this bulletin reads, “This Is God’s House. All Are Welcome.” We take these words seriously. We strive to be a community as diverse and hospitable as God’s kingdom. We don’t all look or act alike; God knows we don’t all think alike. We don’t all read the Bible the same way. We bring different questions, and we carry different burdens. But every Sunday, we worship together as one. In this grand old church, we do Sunday morning in some pretty traditional (very Presbyterian) ways. We study the teachings and the actions of Jesus. We sing many of the same hymns our grandparents sang. Yet, in our preaching and our prayers, we wrestle with the challenges of the modern world. I hope your heart will hear something personal and relevant this morning—a word of comfort, a spur to action, a call to a deeper relationship with God. After the service, please stick around. Take a tour of the church. Have a cup of coffee with us. Introduce yourself to one of our clergy. There are tons of opportunities here to feed your soul and expand your spirit. Try one out. You never know—you just might be home! Scott Black Johnston Senior Pastor If You Are New Here Please fill out the Welcome card you will find in your pew.

After the long, hot journey in the Zeppelin, an oasis. Robert Plant’s first solo album is rooted in the music of Zeppelin, of course, but that’s not to say he’s tied to the past. Rather, he branches out, embracing a lighter, crisper studio sound that indulged in familiar exotica while shedding the heavy intensity of Led’s epic arrangements. You’ve seen the swagger of “Burning Down One Side” and “Worse Than Detroit” before, but unchained from his former band Plant could pass for Steven Tyler in a serious mood. Drummer Phil Collins keeps the beat on its toes, Cozy Powell is more a student of the Bonham school, and the core of Robbie Blunt, Paul Martinez and Jezz Woodroffe are as tight as any band Ozzy brought along for the ride.
