Bureau of Water Pollution Contro l he mission of the Bureau of Water Pollution Control (BWPC) is to protect the waters of the State from the discharge of pollutants. This is accomplished by issuing discharge permits, which define the quality of the discharge necessary to protect the quality of the waters of the State, enforcing the state's water pollution control laws and regulations, and by providing technical and financial assistance to dischargers. The BWPC issues National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permits for discharge to surface waters, ground water permits for discharges that may impact subsurface waters, Underground Injection Control (UIC) permits for injection through wells, and Stormwater Permits. Depending upon the type of discharge, the duration and the waters that may be potentially impacted, the BWPC may also issue temporary or general permits. Additionally, the BWPC performs engineering reviews of the designs of permitted facilities, inspects permitted facilities and investigates violations of water pollution statutes and regulations. The BWPC administers the State Revolving Loan Fund Program, which provides loans to publicly-owned treatment works (POTW) for construction activities and to non-point source projects. The BWPC also oversees the certification program for certain sewer-treatment plant employees.

Skip Navigation Water Pollution: Overview A water pollutant is any substance that decreases the quality of water. Water pollution is a serious problem. As mentioned in the Hydrosphere puzzle piece, only a small portion of Earth's water is freshwater. This is the type of water we need for survival. As pollution of freshwater increases, the amount of useable freshwater decreases. Photo: Raw sewage being piped directly into a Wheeling Creek tributary. Photo courtesy of Dr. Ben Stout. There are many types of pollutants. Common water pollutants include acid mine drainage agricultural runoff sewage , and dredging . Sources of pollution are classified according to the way they enter the environment. There are two major classes of pollutants: point-source and non-point-source. Point-source pollutants can be traced to their original source. Point-source pollutants are discharged directly from pipes or spills. Raw sewage draining from a pipe directly into a stream is an example of a point-source water pollutant. Non-point-source pollutants cannot be traced to a specific original source. These pollutants can only be traced to a general area. Non-point sources of pollution include

Data and statistics Water pollution Water pollution Eutrophication Hazardous chemicals in coastal waters Oceans ... Data and statistics Eutrophication and acid rain affect water quality Norway has abundant supplies of clean fresh water. Nevertheless, many lakes and rivers are affected by pollution. Eutrophication of fresh-water bodies is mainly a problem at local level in some densely-populated and intensively-farmed areas. Acid rain is still responsible for poor water quality in rivers and lakes, especially in Southern Norway, where many fish stocks have been depleted or completely lost. With regard to hazardous chemicals the accumulation of mercury in fresh-water fish gives particular cause for concern. Local problems in fjords and harbours Norway’s coastal and marine waters are generally clean and healthy. However, human activities are causing problems, both directly and as a result of long-range transport of pollutants. Arctic waters are particularly vulnerable to pollutants that are carried by winds and ocean currents. Photo: Jon Fuglestad.

San Jose / Santa Clara Water Pollution Control Plant About the Plant The San Jose/Santa Clara Water Pollution Control Plant is one of the largest advanced wastewater treatment facilities in California. It treats and cleans the wastewater of over 1,500,000 people that live and work in the 300-square mile area encompassing San Jose, Santa Clara, Milpitas, Campbell, Cupertino, Los Gatos, Saratoga, and Monte Sereno. The Water Pollution Control Plant has the capacity to treat 167,000,000 gallons of wastewater per day. It is located in Alviso, at the southernmost tip of the San Francisco Bay. Originally constructed in 1956, the Plant had the capacity to treat 36,000,000 gallons of water per day and only provided primary treatment. In 1964, the Plant added a secondary treatment process to its system. In 1979, the Plant upgraded its wastewater treatment process to an advanced, tertiary system. Wastewater from sinks, toilets, and drains inside homes, businesses and schools in most of Santa Clara Valley travels through an underground pipe system, known as the sanitary sewer system, before it arrives for treatment at the San Jose/Santa Clara Water Pollution Control Plant. That journey can take up to 10 hours. About 18 hours later, 99% of the impurities have been removed through a highly sophisticated treatment process that simulates the way nature purifies water, but at a greatly accelerated rate.

Splish Splash! Splish Splash you were taking a bath... Uh-Oh! Where's the water? You live in a small town on the coast of sunny California and there is a serious problem. You have no more running water. You call the water plant and the news is not good. Due to high bacteria levels in the water supply, the Pacific Ocean, the plant had to temporarily shut down. You now begin to think about all the damage that has probably been done to this huge body of water to cause such a predicament. Even though you just missed a shower, you wonder about the thousands of species of life that actually have to live in that dirty mess! You decide that something must be done. But what? In this three day activity, you are going to make a difference! The Task You find a neighbor who was equally suprised this morning about the town's running water problem. In this case, your neighbor is a partner from this class. You two decide to start your own organization. Your goal is to educate others on why we need to protect the ocean and how we can do it. You also need to choose one marine animal as a mascot for your organization. The first step you must take is to incorporate these ideas into a brochure within the next two days. You will research specific sites on the intenet. The information that you pull from the sites should be compiled into a four page brochure (the four sides of a folded piece of paper). Remember, you are trying to help people help the world! Questions First of all, what is the name of your organization and what is your goal or purpose? After you decide this, here are questions your organization needs to address:

As amended by: The original 1948 statute (Ch. 758; P.L. 845), the Water Pollution Control Act, authorized the Surgeon General of the Public Health Service, in cooperation with other Federal, state and local entities, to prepare comprehensive programs for eliminating or reducing the pollution of interstate waters and tributaries and improving the sanitary condition of surface and underground waters. During the development of such plans, due regard was to be given to improvements necessary to conserve waters for public water supplies, propagation of fish and aquatic life, recreational purposes, and agricultural and industrial uses. The original statute also authorized the Federal Works Administrator to assist states, municipalities, and interstate agencies in constructing treatment plants to prevent discharges of inadequately treated sewage and other wastes into interstate waters or tributaries. Since 1948, the original statute has been amended extensively either to authorize additional water quality programs, standards and procedures to govern allowable discharges, funding for construction grants or general program funding. Amendments in other years provided for continued authority to conduct program activities or administrative changes to related activities.

Water pollution FAQ Frequently Asked Questions Search : Contact us The question library on water related issues What is water pollution? Water pollution is any chemical, physical or biological change in the quality of water that has a harmful effect on any living thing that drinks or uses or lives (in) it. When humans drink polluted water it often has serious effects on their health. Water pollution can also make water unsuited for the desired use. What are the major water pollutants? There are several classes of water pollutants. The first are disease-causing agents. These are bacteria, viruses, protozoa and parasitic worms that enter sewage systems and untreated waste. More information on health effects of microrganisms A second category of water pollutants is oxygen -demanding wastes; wastes that can be decomposed by oxygen-requiring bacteria. When large populations of decomposing bacteria are converting these wastes it can deplete oxygen levels in the water. This causes other organisms in the water, such as fish, to die. A third class of water pollutants is water-soluble inorganic pollutants, such as acids, salts and toxic metals. Large quantities of these compounds will make water unfit to drink and will cause the death of aquatic life.

80. State Of The Environment - Georgia - Water Water courses are heavily polluted by fertilizers and pesticides, water pollution comes mainly from communal and industrial sources, 57.6% (58.42 http://www.parliament.ge/SOEGEO/english/water/problems.htm

G.Info: State of the Environment - Georgia - Water Water Pollution Problems The most polluted rivers in Georgia are the Mtkvari, Rioni, Kvirila, Galidzga, Tkibuli, Enguri and Gubistskali. In most of these rivers, concentrations of phenols, hydrocarbons, copper, manganese, zinc and nitrogen are considerably higher than the national and international standards. Most water treatment plants are not operating or work at a very low level of efficiency. It is stated that more than 60% of the sewage treatment plants is obsolete and in urgent need of replacement. Coliform levels in reservoirs and water supply systems have reached dangerous levels in many areas. According to the information collected in 1994, some 55.7% of the population lives in urban areas. That is the main reason why many of the country’s pollution problems are concentrated in several municipal areas, which are also industrial centres: Tbilisi (population of 1.242 million), Kutaisi (population of 240,200), Rustavi (population of 155,200) and Zestaponi (population of 51,300). The cities suffer from aging municipal infrastructure (MIRP) , insufficient or in many cases no waste water treatment facilities, and inadequate waste management facilities and practices. Surface waters on which municipal areas depend are polluted with municipal sewage and industrial discharges, although the latter source has declined under current economic conditions.
