One of the highest environmental priorities of the 103rd Congress is reauthorization of the Clean Water Act, last amended in 1987. To that end and in the spirit of cooperation, the chairman of the Environment and Public Works Committee and the panel's ranking Republican member have again cosponsored legislation they hope will avoid the rocky shoals that capsized their previous effort to renew the law. The Water Pollution and Control Act of 1993, S. 1114, focuses on key remaining water pollution problems and provides promising new approaches, like watershed management and pollution prevention initiatives, to address them. This paper describes highlights of the bill.
