Clean Water Act References to "BMP"
Congress referred to BMP in several sections of the U.S. Clean Water Act (CWA) but did not define the term.
- The 1977 CWA used the term in describing the areawide waste treatment planning program[1] and in procedures for controlling toxic pollutants associated with industrial discharges.[2] The "Section 404" program, which covers dredge and fill permits, refers to BMPs in one of the enforcement exemptions.[3]
- References to stormwater BMPs first appear in the 1987 amendment to the CWA in describing the Nonpoint Source Management Demonstration Program.[4]
- Another stormwater BMP reference was added in 2001 with the authorization for a Wet Weather Watershed Pilot Project program.[5]
