The Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1948 was the first major U.S. law to address water pollution. Growing public awareness and concern for
controlling water pollution led to sweeping amendments in 1972. As amended in 1972, the law became commonly known as the Clean Water Act
(CWA).
The 1972 amendments:
Subsequent amendments modified some of the earlier CWA provisions. Revisions in 1981 streamlined the municipal construction grants process,improving the capabilities of treatment plants built under the program. Changes in 1987 phased out the construction grants program, replacing it with
the State Water Pollution Control Revolving Fund, more commonly known as the Clean Water State Revolving Fund. This new funding strategy
addressed water quality needs by building on EPA-state partnerships.

The 1972 amendments:
 | Established the basic structure for regulating pollutants discharges into the waters of the United States. |
| Gave EPA the authority to implement pollution control programs such as setting wastewater standards for industry. |
| Maintained existing requirements to set water quality standards for all contaminants in surface waters. |
| Made it unlawful for any person to discharge any pollutant from a point source into navigable waters, unless a permit was obtained under its | |
| provisions. |
| Funded the construction of sewage treatment plants under the construction grants program. |
| Recognized the need for planning to address the critical problems posed by nonpoint source pollution. |

As a power wash professional, it is important for you to be aware of the rules and regulations in YOUR area, town, municipality or county. In some
areas, you may be required to reclaim your water and in other areas, you may only be required to use water socks or sand snakes to direct the water to
the grassy areas around a home or structure. And still in others, you may not be required to do anything. Compliance with your local regulations
DOES NOT NECESSARILY require huge investments for new equipment. Let NAPWO help you comply with your local requirements.
