This book was released on 1986 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Section 304(a) (1) of the Clean Water Act 33 U.S.C. 1314(a) (1) requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to publish and periodically update ambient water quality criteria. These criteria are to accurately reflect the latest scientific knowledge (a) on the kind and extent of all identifiable effects on health and welfare including, but not limited to, plankton, fish shellfish, wildlife, plant life, shorelines, beaches, aesthetics, and recreation which may be expected from the presence of pollutants in any body of water including ground water; (b) on the concentration and dispersal of pollutants, or their byproducts, through biological, physical, and chemical processes; and (c) on the effects of pollutants on biological community diversity, productivity, and stability, including information on the factors affecting rates of eutrophication and organic and inorganic sedimentation for varying types of receiving waters. In a continuing effort to provide those who use EPA's water quality and human health criteria with up-to-date criteria values and associated information, the document was assembled. The document includes summaries of all the contaminants for which EPA has developed criteria recommendations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental problems in coastal ecosystems can sometimes be attributed to excess nutrients flowing from upstream watersheds into estuarine settings. This nutrient over-enrichment can result in toxic algal blooms, shellfish poisoning, coral reef destruction, and other harmful outcomes. All U.S. coasts show signs of nutrient over-enrichment, and scientists predict worsening problems in the years ahead. Clean Coastal Waters explains technical aspects of nutrient over-enrichment and proposes both immediate local action by coastal managers and a longer-term national strategy incorporating policy design, classification of affected sites, law and regulation, coordination, and communication. Highlighting the Gulf of Mexico's "Dead Zone," the Pfiesteria outbreak in a tributary of Chesapeake Bay, and other cases, the book explains how nutrients work in the environment, why nitrogen is important, how enrichment turns into over-enrichment, and why some environments are especially susceptible. Economic as well as ecological impacts are examined. In addressing abatement strategies, the committee discusses the importance of monitoring sites, developing useful models of over-enrichment, and setting water quality goals. The book also reviews voluntary programs, mandatory controls, tax incentives, and other policy options for reducing the flow of nutrients from agricultural operations and other sources.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Walla Walla, Cayuse and Umatilla Indians exercise inherent sovereignty which includes governing, regulating and managing our affairs, and protecting and using our natural resources. Knowing that without good quality flowing water that nothing will survive, we exercise our rights to protect the water quality of the Reservation. Acknowledging that water is the giver of life, food, and the spirit and upon recommendation of the Tribal Water Committee, the Board of Trustees adopts the water quality standards to provide a mechanism for managing and regulating the quality and uses of waters of the Reservation by establishing water quality goals for specific waterbodies, and providing a legal basis for regulatory controls. The exercise of this governmental function is critical to the Tribes' self-governing principles ... Purposes of the water quality standards are to maintain or restore the chemical, physical, biological conditions, and cultural integrity of the surface waters of the Reservation for the Tribes, its people, and residents of the Reservation. The Tribes plan to achieve a level of water quality that provides for the protection and propagation of fish and wildlife, for recreation in and on the water, and for all existing and designated beneficial uses of the water. The Tribes will promote a holistic watershed approach to management of the surface waters of the Reservation and will protect cultural and spiritual uses of water and threatened and endangered species."--From introduction (page 1).
