    Extractions: POLLUTION LOCATOR Public opinion polls consistently document that Americans value water quality. Although U.S. waterways have become cleaner because of pollution controls on industrial discharges and sewage treatment plants, extensive water quality problems remain. The Clean Water Act requires surface water quality to be high enough to support fish and wildlife populations, protect drinking water sources, and allow for human recreation. Nationwide, 36% of rivers and streams, 39% of lakes and reservoirs, and 38% of estuaries are not supporting at least one of these uses. Many more waterways are either threatened by degradation, or lack the data required to assess their condition. See Scorecard's overview of water issues.

23. 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
    
    Extractions: Share Blog Cite Print Email Bookmark ScienceDaily (Nov. 18, 2007) See also: 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.

    Extractions: As water from rainfall and snowmelt flows over and through the landscape, it picks up and carries contaminants from many different sources. This is called Non-Point Source pollution. This polluted water ends up in streams, lakes and the ocean by flowing directly in or by going through untreated storm drains. Water also carries pollutants into underground drinking water as it soaks into the ground. 40% of all lakes and streams are too polluted to use for fishing or swimming in the United States. Oil, hazardous toxins and disease-causing agents contaminate waterways and drinking water and can kill people, animals and plants.

    Extractions: 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.

Pollution 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.

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.

    Extractions: Do you know how our creeks and beaches get polluted? Or have you ever wondered what those holes in the sidewalk were for? Well, read on to find out… Water pollution can come from a lot of different places, but the number one reason that our creeks, rivers, lakes and beaches get dirty is from the water and other pollutants that flow into storm drains. Look below to find out more. What’s storm water pollution? Storm water is the water that runs down the street when it’s raining. Storm water enters holes in the gutter called storm drains. Water that flows down the street when it’s not raining, like when you wash your car or water your lawn, is called urban runoff. Confused yet? Take a look… After storm water and urban runoff flow into the storm drain, it gets sent to the nearest creek, river, lake or ocean so our streets don’t flood. That means any pollutant on the street or in urban runoff gets carried to our waterbodies and eventually the ocean. Yuck!

    Extractions: Contents Back Issues Search Subscribe 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.
