Wastewater Management Plan. Colorado River and Tributaries, Texas. Volume I. Basin Plan.

Abstract

The objective of the Colorado River Basin Wastewater Management Study is the development of the most cost-effective strategy to meet stream water quality criteria for the 50-year planning period, 1970 to 2020. The Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972, Public Law 92-500 (hereinafter referred to as PL 92-500) set national goals and policy with respect to levels of wastewater treatment and discharge of pollutants. The alternatives considered in the Study include strategies and projects to approach no discharge of pollutant by 1985. Section 101 of the Public Law seeks to restore the chemical, physical and biological balance of waters by eliminating pollutant inflow into waters by 1985 and to insure water quality for public use and the protection of aquatic life.
