Congress enacted the last major amendments to the Clean Water Act
in 1987 (P.L. 100-4). Since then, the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA), states, and others have been working to implement the
many program changes and additions mandated in the law. At issue
today - more than 30 years after enactment of the core law - is
what progress is being made to achieve its goals. In general,
states and environmental groups fault EPA for delays in issuing
guidance and providing assistance to carry out the law. EPA and
others are critical of states, in turn, for not reaching beyond
conventional knowledge and approaches to address their water
quality problems. Environmental advocates have been criticized for
insufficient recognition of EPA's and states' need for flexibility
to implement the act. Finally, Congress has been criticized for not
providing adequate resources to meet EPA and state needs.
Appropriations for clean water programs, especially water
infrastructure, are a continuing issue.
