Federal Water Pollution Control Act (FWPCA) was passed. This act and its various amendments are often referred to as tne Clean Water Act (CWA). It provided loans for treatment plant construction and temporary authority for federal control of interstate water pollution. The enforcement powers were so heavily dependent on the states as... 

In 1965 the Water Quahty Act established a new trend in water pollution control. It provided that the states set water quality standards in accordance with federal guidelines. If the states f ed to do so, the standards would be set by the federal government subject to a review hearing. In 1966, the Clean Water Restoration Act transferred the Feder Water Pollution Control Administration from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare to the Department of the Interior. It also gave the Interior Department the responsibility for the Oil Pollution Act. 

In federal water of the U.S. and in a few states, all pressure vessels must be designed and inspected in accordance with the ASME Code. In many states, however, there is no such requirement. It is possible to purchase "non-code vessels in these states at a small savings in cost. Noncode vessels are normally designed to code requirements (although there is no certainty that this is true), but they are not inspected by a qualified code inspector nor are they necessarily inspected to the quality standards dictated by the code. For this reason, the use of non-code vessels should be discouraged to assure vessel integrity. 

Required locations of gas detectors (sensors) are often specified by the authority having jurisdiction. For example, API RP 14C recommends certain locations for combustible detectors. These recommendations have been legislated into requirements in U.S. Federal waters by the Minerals Management Service. RP 14C should be referred to for specific details, but, basically, combustible gas detectors are required offshore in all inadequately ventilated, classified, enclosed areas. The installation of sensors in nonenclosed areas is seldom either required or necessary. Ignitible or high toxic levels of gas seldom accumulate and remain for significant periods of time in such locations.

Dredge materials subject to the permitting requirements of Section 404 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act of Section 103 of the Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act of 1972 are not considered hazardous wastes. 

EPA has established that hydrogen sulfide is a regulated toxic substance and is a hazardous substance as defined under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act. OSH A has established an acceptable ceiling concentration of 20 parts per million (ppm) for hydrogen sulfide in the workplace, with a maximum level of 50 ppm allowed for 10 minutes maximum duration if no other measurable exposure occurs. NIOSH has set a maximum Recommended Exposure Limit (REL) ceiling value (10 minutes) of 10 ppm. A complete listing of federal and state regulations and recommendations are found in Chapter 7. 

The Federal Water Pollution Control Act (Clean Water Act) establishes nationally applicable effluent limitations using criteria based on different levels of control technology. For example, risk assessments were carried out in response to the settlement of litigation asserting a failure to set standards...

Personnel. More than any other area, we are often asked "How many people has your corporation added due to TSCA " I don t know of anyone who has a concise answer to this question. Complicating the situation is the fact that the 1960 s and 1970 s saw a number of environmental and health laws go into effect the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Occupational Safety and Health Act, Safe Drinking Water Act, Federal Water Pollution Control Act, TSCA, Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, and Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, to mention the major ones. This mixture of acts, with some similarities of purpose, developing within a time span of 10-15 years, has made a variety of similar demands. It is not easy at this point to attribute the addition of staff support personnel to an individual law such as TSCA. The same observation is applicable to all corporate resources which have felt the effects of TSCA however, in order to... 

Clean Water Act (CWA) was first enacted in 1948 as the Federal Water Pollution Control Act. Subsequent extensive amendments defined the statute to be known as the CWA in 1972 it was further amended in 1977 and 1987. The CWA provides EPA authority to regulate effluents from sewage treatment works, chemical plants, and other industry sources into U.S. waterways. EPA has recently undertaken control efforts in on-point source pollution as well. 

The Oil Pollution Act of 1924 was the first federal statute prohibiting pollution of waters strictly by oil. As indicated earlier, the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (FWPCA) of 1972 provided a comprehensive plan for the cleanup of waters polluted by oil spills and intentional or accidental release of oil into the water. The subsequent laws, including the Clean Water Act of 1977 and with its later amendments, provide for regulation of pollution of waters by oil spills and other forms of discharges. These legislations also incorporate certain provisions of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899, which was intended to prevent any obstruction to the use of navigable waters for interstate commerce. 

Most of the analytical methods discussed here for total petroleum hydrocarbons have been developed within the framework of federal and state regulatory initiatives. The initial implementation of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (FWPCA) focused on controlling conventional pollutants such as oil and...
