The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act (CWA), first passed in 1972 (Public Law 92-500) and amended in 1977 (Public Law 95-217) and several times since, has as its objective "to restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the Nation's waters." According to Title I of the CWA it was the policy of Congress to recognize, preserve, and protect the primary responsibilities and rights of States to prevent, reduce, and eliminate pollution, to plan the development and use of land and water resources, and to consult with the Federal government on the exercise of its authority under the CWA. States were to manage the construction grant programs under the CWA and implement the permit program under Sections 402 and 404. In 1987, the CWA was amended by the Water Quality Act which expanded the Environmental Protection Agency's program to address new discharge sources of pollutants and to control toxicity.

The CWA is divided into five titles. Title I - Research and Related Programs, Title II - Grants for Construction of Treatment Works, Title III - Standards and Enforcement, Title IV - Permit and Licenses, and Title V- General Provisions. Each title is divided into sections on specific questions such as Section 303 for Water quality standards and implementation plans. Major programs authorized by the CWA include the National Pretreatment Program (Section 307), Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (Section 402), the Sludge Management Program (Section 405), and various grant programs for construction and training.
