Abstract

In recent years, there has been increasing interest in controlling water pollution resulting from municipal wastewater discharges. Efforts to control water pollution have focused on the requirements and enforcement procedures of P.L. 92-500, the Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972. Two features of this law which are relevant to this discussion are: (1) the explicit encouragement of wastewater treatment and reuse processes which recycle pollutants to other parts of the environment, particularly land application of municipal wastewater as a method of advanced wastewater treatment; and (2) the provision of federal grants to pay for up to 75% of the construction costs of municipal wastewater treatment works including the costs of land which is an integral part of the wastewater treatment process.
