\nWater pollution degrades surface waters making them unsafe for\ndrinking, fishing, swimming, and other activities. As authorized by\nthe Clean Water Act, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination\nSystem (NPDES) permit program controls water pollution by regulating\npoint sources that discharge pollutants into waters of the United\nStates. Point sources are discrete conveyances such as pipes or\nman-made ditches. Individual homes that are connected to a municipal\nsystem, use a septic system, or do not have a surface discharge do\nnot need an NPDES permit; however, industrial, municipal, and other\nfacilities must obtain permits if their discharges go directly to\nsurface waters. In most cases, the NPDES permit program is\nadministered by\n\nauthorized states.<\/a>\nSince its introduction in 1972, the NPDES permit program is\nresponsible for significant improvements to our Nation’s water\nquality.\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\nYes, I know Valdosta also does this.\nI like it that in a subdivision in an unincorporated part of Lowndes County\nthat the county does this.\n<\/p>\n
