Edmund Muskie, D-Maine, on Oct. 28, 1971 Passed the Senate on Nov, 2, 1971 Passed the House on March 29, 1972 Signed into law by President Richard Nixon on Oct. 18, 1972 What it does The Clean Water Act is the primary federal law in the United States governing water pollution. It estab- lished the goals of eliminating releases to water of high amounts of toxic substances, eliminating addi- tional water pollution by 1985, and ensuring that surface waters would meet standards necessary for human sports and recreation by 1983. Where it applies All waters with a “significant nexus” to “navigable waters” are covered under the CWA; however, the phrase “significant nexus” remains open to judicial interpretation and considerable controversy. The 1972 statute frequently uses the term “navigable waters,”but also defines the term as “waters of the United States, including the territorial seas.”Some regulations interpreting the 1972 law have included With administrative costs of just 8%, water features such as intermittent streams, playa lakes, prairie potholes, sloughs and wetlands among we’re keeping our waste line down. “waters of the United States.” How it works The 1972 act introduced a permit system for regulating point sources of pollution. Point sources include: Industrial facilities (including manufacturing, mining, oil and gas extraction, and service industries). Municipal governments and other government facilities. One of the most common misconceptions under discussion Some agricultural facilities, such as animal feedlots. in the national healthcare reform debate is that all health Point sources may not discharge pollutants to surface waters without a permit from the National insurers want to do is increase profits.
