S. 1274 (97th): Clean Water Act Amendments of 1977 Introduced: May 21, 1977 97th Congress, 1977 Sponsor: John Chafee Senator from Rhode Island Republican

Why was it created Established the basic structure for regulating pollutant discharges into the waters of the United States. Gave EPA the authority to implement pollution control programs such as setting wastewater standards for industry. Maintained existing requirements to set water quality standards for all contaminants in surface waters. Made it unlawful for any person to discharge any pollutant from a point source into navigable waters, unless a permit was obtained under its provisions. Funded the construction of sewage treatment plants under the construction grants program. Recognized the need for planning to address the critical problems posed by nonpoint source pollution.
