Davis, P.E., Director 401 Church Street Nashville, TN The Division of Water Pollution Control is responsible for administration of the Tennessee Water Quality Control Act of 1977 (T.C.A. 69-3-101). In addition, the Division is responsible for the non-coal surface mining program and illegal coal mining under the Tennessee Coal Surface Mining Law of 1980, as amended. On an annual basis, the Division monitors, analyzes, and reports on the quality of Tennessee's water. In addition, a number of specific surveys are conducted, including studies of in-stream biological communities and documentation of contaminant levels in sediment and fish flesh. The fish and bacteriological data generated by the Division are used by the Department to issue advisories to the public when levels of contaminants exceed those considered to be protective of public health. Numerous complaints and inquiries are investigated and responded to each year. Under the Water Quality Control Act, municipal, industrial and other discharges of wastewater must obtain a permit from the Division. Approximately, 1,700 permits have been issued under the federally delegated National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). These permits establish pollution control and monitoring requirements based on protection of designated uses through implementation of water quality standards and other applicable state and federal rules.

Water pollution FAQ Frequently Asked Questions Search : Contact us 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. 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. Another class of water pollutants are nutrients; they are water-soluble nitrates and phosphates that cause excessive growth of algae and other water plants, which deplete the water's oxygen supply. This kills fish and, when found in drinking water, can kill young children.

27. Toxicity Of Industrial Water Pollution Underestimated A new study suggests that a holistic approach is needed in assessing the potential environmental and health effects of toxic effluent from industry. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/11/071110081909.htm

Science News Share Blog Cite Print Email Bookmark Toxicity Of Industrial Water Pollution Underestimated ScienceDaily (Nov. 18, 2007) See also: Hazardous Waste Environmental Science Pollution Water ... Eutrophication Effluents from industrial or municipal sources may contain hundreds to thousands of chemicals, but only a few are responsible for aquatic toxicity. Simply adding together the individual toxicities of each chemical present is not a reliable way to predict the total toxicity of effluent, the researchers say. An underestimation of whole-effluent toxicity could have seriously detrimental effects on the marine environment. The researchers point out that the prediction of waste water toxicity usually does not take into account any possible interactions between the compounds in the wastewater sample. The presence of a particular chemical may make another more easily absorbed by aquatic creatures or plants, for instance. Moreover, some highly toxic chemicals may go undetected in a complex waste water mixture. By testing waste water samples from a tannery, a pharmaceutical plant, and a chemical factory, the researchers were able to demonstrate the presence of key toxic chemicals in the samples and their toxic effects on bacteria, algae, daphnids and fish. Their tests demonstrated a higher toxicity of the whole sample compared with tests carried out on individual pollutants. "Our results obtained clearly demonstrate the importance of using the ‘whole-effluent’ toxicity approach for a reliable assessment of wastewater quality," the researchers say.

Pollution The Water We Drink In West Virginia and Maryland, scientists have recently discovered that male fish are growing ovaries; they suspect that this freakish deformity is the result of factory-farm run-off from drug-laden chicken feces. Much of the millions of pounds of excrement and other bodily waste produced by farmed animals every day in the U.S. is stored in sprawling brown lagoons. These lagoons occasionally spill over into surrounding waterways and cause massive numbers of fish and other animals to die. When 25 million gallons of putrid hog urine and feces spilled into a North Carolina river in 1995, between 10 and 14 million fish died as an immediate result. The EPA reports that chicken, hog, and cattle excrement have polluted 35,000 miles of rivers in 22 states and contaminated groundwater in 17 states. Besides the environmental problems caused by farmed animal waste, the dangerous fecal bacteria from farm sewage, including

Maps and data Eutrophication and acid rain affect water quality Norway has abundant supplies of clean freshwater. Nevertheless, many lakes and rivers are affected by pollution. Eutrophication of freshwater 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 freshwater 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, SFT

Digest of Federal Resource Laws of Interest to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Federal Water Pollution Control Act (Clean Water Act) Federal Water Pollution Control Act (Clean Water Act) ( 33 U.S.C. 1251 - 1376 ; Chapter 758; P.L. 845, June 30, 1948; 62 Stat. 1155). 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.

Passaic County Office of Natural Resource Programs 1310 Route 23 North Wayne, New Jersey Phone: 973-305-5738 Fax: 973-305-5737 In Cooperation with the Passaic County Board of Chosen Freeholders Updated: 3/24/01 There are many causes for water pollution, but there are two (2) general categories: Direct and Indirect (or Non-point Source) pollution sources. Direct sources include fluid releases from factories, refineries, waste treatment plants and so forth, that emit pollutants directly into urban water supplies. In the United States and other countries, these practices are regulated, although this doesn't mean that pollutants can't be found in these waters. Indirect (or Non-point Source) pollution sources include contaminants that enter the water supply from soils and groundwater systems and from the atmosphere through rain water. Soils and groundwater contain the residue of agricultural practices (fertilizers, pesticides, etc.) as well as improperly disposed of industrial wastes. Atmospheric contaminants are also derived from human practices, such as gaseous emissions from automobiles and factories.

Overcoming Agricultural Water Pollution In The European Union - Finance & Develo As the European Union s member countries make progress on controlling water pollution from homes and industry, their attention is turning to reducing water http://www.worldbank.org/fandd/english/0996/articles/0100996.htm

Contents Back Issues Search Subscribe Overcoming Agricultural Water Pollution in the European Union SUSANNE M. SCHEIERLING As the European Union's member countries make progress on controlling water pollution from homes and industry, their attention is turning to reducing water pollution from agriculture. Their experience shows that this can be achieved only through further integration of agricultural and environmental policies. GRICULTURAL water pollution is becoming a major concern not only in developed regions such as the European Union (EU) but also in many developing countries. The intensification of agricultural practicesin particular, the growing use of fertilizers and pesticides, and the specialization and concentration of crop and livestock productionhas had an increasing impact on water quality. The main agricultural water pollutants are nitrates, phosphorus, and pesticides. Rising nitrate concentrations threaten the quality of drinking water, while high pesticide use contributes substantially to indirect emissions of toxic substances. Increasing levels of nitrates and phosphorus in surface waters reduce their ability to support plant and animal life and make them less attractive for recreation. Policy challenges A policy for controlling agricultural water pollution needs to specify the level of water quality desired and what measures should be adopted to achieve this goal. Various problems, including incomplete information about the costs and benefits of pollution abatement, make it difficult to determine the optimal level of water quality in terms of economic efficiency. Therefore, the choice is often made based on other criteria, such as human health concerns or the protection of current uses of the water.
