Abstract
In 1972 the Congress of the United States enacted legislation that provided a national strategy for cleaning up the nations' waters. This legislation is known as the Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972. In subsequent years Congress has amended the Act several times and it is now known as the Clean Water Act. The Act created a national goal of "fishable-swimmable waters" in the United States. One of the strategies to achieve the goal was a planning activity unparalleled in water quality programs. Among other planning activities, Section 208 of the Act was developed for the purpose of encouraging and facilitating the development and implementation of areawide waste treatment management plans. It required state governors to identify areas with water quality problems and designate an entity to develop areawide waste treatment management plans.
