	CRS Report: - - NLE
		The Act has been termed a technology-forcing statute because of the rigorous demands placed on those who are regulated by it to achieve higher and higher levels of pollution abatement under deadlines specified in the law.
		Water pollution was viewed as primarily a state and local problem, hence, there were no federally required goals, objectives, limits, or even guidelines.
		In waters where industrial and municipal sources have achieved technology-based effluent limitations, yet water quality standards have not been met, dischargers may be required to meet additional pollution control requirements.

		Any construction or modification of a pollution abatement facility or disposal system which is undertaken pursuant to and in accordance with a general permit shall not require submission of plans and specifications to or approval by the commissioner, unless required pursuant to the terms of the general permit.
		Each order to abate pollution issued under section 22a-428 or 22a-431 or decision under subsection (b) or (c) of section 22a-430 shall be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the subject of such order or decision and shall be deemed issued upon deposit in the mail.

	water quality
		Water pollution stems from two types of sources: "point" and "nonpoint." Point source pollution refers to large-scale industrial and municipal pollution, such as release pipes or sewer outlets that discharge pollutants directly into bodies of water.
		Water quality can also vary according to natural sources: some bodies of water are of poor quality due to inherent chemical, physical, and biological characteristics.
		Water quality trends remain difficult to assess due to both the variable nature of the resource and the lack of a reliable and consistent database.

	Water Quality Law Summary - Chapter 1
		Apart from navigation, water pollution control in the early 1900s focused on human waste which was the primary cause of waterborne diseases.
		Prior to the end of World War II, efforts to control water pollution were largely the responsibility of the states, and tended to focus on the water quality of receiving waters by establishing water quality standards.
		Pollutant is defined by the CWA to include dredged spoil, solid waste, incinerator residue, sewage, garbage, sewage sludge, munitions, chemical wastes, biological materials, radioactive materials, heat, wrecked or discarded equipment, rock, sand, cellar dirt, and industrial, municipal, and agricultural waste discharged into water.
