This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Clean Lakes, Estu-

SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following:
106TH CONGRESS
2D SESSION
H. R. 4040
AN ACT
To amend title 5, United States Code, to provide for the
establishment of a program under which long-term care
insurance is made available to Federal employees, mem-
bers of the uniformed services, and civilian and military
retirees, and for other purposes.
(1) Polluted runoff from precipitation events is 
the greatest remaining impediment to the Nation in 
meeting the Clean Water Act objective of restoring 
and maintaining the chemical, physical, and biologi-
cal integrity of the Nation’s waters. 
(2) The rate of sediment runoff from construc-
tion sites is typically 10 to 20 times greater than the 
rate from agricultural lands and 1,000 to 2,000 
times greater than the rate from forest lands. 
(3) During a short period of time, construction 
activities can contribute more sediment to streams 
than would otherwise be deposited over several dec-
ades, causing physical and biological harm to the 
Nation’s waters. 
(4) Siltation is the second leading cause of 
water quality impairment in rivers and streams. 
(5) Siltation is the third leading cause of water 
quality impairment in lakes. 
(6) Siltation is the leading cause of degraded 
wetland integrity. 
(7) Silt robs water bodies of sunlight, killing 
grasses and burying the benthic community. 
(8) States are developing and implementing 
total maximum daily loads for pollutants that impair 
water quality, and exempting entire classes of pollu-
tion sources from permitting requirements for 
stormwater discharges will place an inequitable bur-
den on other sources of siltation. 
(9) Exempting up to 30,000 oil and gas con-
struction sites annually from permitting require-
ments for stormwater discharges will harm human 
health and the environment and impair the ability of 
States to address the single largest source of water 
quality impairment. 
SEC. 3. REPEAL. 
Section 502(24) of the Federal Water Pollution Con-
trol Act (33 U.S.C. 1362(24)), relating to the definition 
of oil and gas exploration, is repealed.
