CESSWI Study ModulesSWMP - -Stormwater Management Plan
-ESCP - -Erosion and Sediment Control Plan
-1948 Federal Water Pollution Control Act (FWPCA) - -First significant water
pollution act. Focused primarily on two items:
1. Gave the Surgeon General of the Public Health Service authority to
prepare programs for reducing interstate water pollution and improve the
sanitary condition of surface and underground waters.
2. Gave the Federal Works Agency (FWA) authority to assist states,
municipalities, and interstate agencies in constructing treatment plants to
prevent discharges of inadequately treated sewage and other wastes into
interstate waters.
-1952 and 1955 Amendments to the FWPCA - -The 1952 amendment
extended the act for three years.
The 1955 Amendment made the act permanent.
-1961 Amendments to the FWPCA - -The 1961 amendment is the initial
regulation that keyed into special designation resources.
Demanded that federal agencies, when surveying or planning for any
reservoir, must consider storage to regulate streamflow for water quality
control.
-1970 Reorganization Plans #3 and #4 - -Reorganization Plan #3 created
the EPA, abolished the Federal Water Quality Administration in the
Department of Interior, and transferred to EPA all functions formerly
assigned to the Secretary of Interior and the Department of Interior which

regulations
- Created a structure to classify stormwater that might be contaminated
