Clean Air Act

The EPA set guidelines for water quality with the Clean Water Act of 1972, but it is up to the states to maintain these guidelines and regulate the quality of the water. Between 1976 and 2000 the number of contaminants that were regulated went from 22 to 91. Contaminants actually occur in higher amounts in urban…

country people were troubled about how we employ water and they let the government know. The effect was the Water Act of 1972 and its goals of making water "fishable and swimmable." In 1972, Congress passed a law called The Water Act of 1972 to help protect and restore the lakes, seas and rivers of the U.S. The goals of the Water Act of 1972 were quite straightforward. Water should be clean as much as necessary for fishing, swimming and other entertaining uses. Releasing of toxic waste was to be…

To start, the Clean Water Act is legislation that has already been passed. This law works to restore and protect bodies of water in order to make them usable and safe ("History of the Clean Water Act").

shorter lives. The storm runoff water is the number one enemy to the waters of Puget sound. When it rains the water goes into the storm drain and eventually makes it back into the water. Whether it's oil from cars, or dirt, maybe even plastic. The clean water act never stopped the storm water runoffs (PBS). People thought that the water was like a toilet, that we could flush anything into the water and it would eventually go away but after awhile people figured out that the water is like a…

For a couple of years Lake Erie has been fairly clean because of our efforts in trying to keep it clean, but now it’s going back to the algae filled waters. The clean up is pretty good and we are trying to come up with more ways to help Lake Erie now. Some examples are to lower the chances of manure and fertilizer spreading on frozen or saturated ground, and by lowering the chances of fertilizer runoff. But otherwise the effects of the clean up are going well and I hope that with the climate…

extensive bibliography of short stories and novels.

The theme of “A Clean, Well-Lighted Place” is decidedly nihilistic: life, human ideas of God and faith, and earthly possession are all ultimately of equally nonexistent value. This rather…
