energy conservation goals.
1.4.7
Water Conservation. It is the policy of the Navy to
employ water conservation measures to an extent that is feasible
and economical, particularly in arid regions. Such methods as
reuse of wastewater on agricultural crops, application of wet
sludge to cropland, and reuse of wastewater for industrial
purposes should receive full consideration in facilities
planning and design.
1.5
Overview of the Clean Water Act. The Clean Water Act
is a major Federal law that addresses the release of pollutants
to surface waters of the United States, such as lakes, streams,
estuaries, oceans, and bays. Last amended in 1987, the Clean
Water Act provides legislation for many water pollution issues.
The amendments of the Clean Water Act make up six titles. The
first title states the objective of the Act and establishes
programs to improve the water quality and remove pollutants from
the Great Lakes and the Chesapeake Bay. Second, the Act
provides funding for construction of publicly owned treatment
works. Perhaps most important are the third and fourth titles
which address enforcement of the Act through standards and
permits. The fifth title addresses judicial review and
procedures for workers who report a violation of the Act.
Finally, the sixth title gives the EPA the authority to provide
states with grants to establish pollution control funds and also
decide how they will use these funds. Federal facilities are
subject to the provisions of the Clean Water Act and must make
appropriate changes to comply.
