house 03/14/2025 - 119th Congress
We aim to update the Federal Water Pollution Control Act by establishing fixed terms for NPDES permits, granting up to 10 years for states and municipalities, and up to 5 years for other entities. This change seeks to provide clearer timelines and enhance regulatory consistency in managing water pollution.
