Bill overview
This bill changes the length of time permits can be issued under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), which regulates pollution discharged into U.S. waters. It extends the maximum permit term for states and municipalities from five years to ten years. The bill also makes technical corrections to the relevant sections of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to reflect these changes. These updates aim to provide greater stability and predictability for permit holders while continuing to protect water quality.
