Implementation of water-pollution-control measures: section 208 of the Water Pollution Control Act Amendments

Journal Article · · Land Water Law Rev.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5266286
Federal water pollution abatement legislation has incorporated more localized implementation provisions in recent years, such as Section 208 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972. The goal is to spur local and regional abatement efforts through cooperation by various local governmental entities. But that goal has not been met in the majority of cases because of political opposition and lack of statutory clarity. Any future attempt at localized implementation of federal mandates can profit from the experience of Section 208 and include true flexibility and opportunity for cooperation. 64 references.
