I
103D CONGRESS
1ST SESSION
H. R. 2199
To amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to reauthorize and modify
the State water pollution control revolving loan program, and for other
purposes.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
MAY 20, 1993
Mr. STUDDS (for himself, Ms. FURSE, Ms. SCHENK, Mr. HAMBURG, Mr.
HOCHBRUECKNER, Mr. KENNEDY, and Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts) in-
troduced the following bill; which was referred jointly to the Committees
on Public Works and Transportation, Merchant Marine and Fisheries,
and Ways and Means
A BILL
To amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to reau-
thorize and modify the State water pollution control re-
volving loan program, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Polluter Pays Clean
Water Funding Act’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress makes the following findings:
(1) We are in the midst of a clean water crisis.
Across the Nation, water and sewer bills are sky-
rocketing as the costs of municipal sewage treatment
plants and other clean water programs soar. These
escalating costs have a disproportionate effect on the
poor and on families in small and economically de-
pressed communities.
(2) There is no relief in sight. The most recent
report by the Environmental Protection Agency esti-
mates at least $155,000,000,000 will be needed over
the next 20 years just to meet current Federal
Water Pollution Control Act requirements.
(3) The whole story is even more sobering. If
the full costs of Federal Water Pollution Control Act
implementation are considered, including combined
sewer overflows, storm water control, polluted runoff
control, and implementation of national estuary pro-
grams, then the total cost of Federal Water Pollu-
tion Control Act implementation will greatly exceed
$200,000,000,000 over the next 20 years.
(4) We are not now doing enough. In light of
these overwhelming needs, the current Federal in-
vestment of $2,000,000,000 in State assistance is
grossly inadequate to meet the Federal Water Pollu-
tion Control Act’s fundamental objective of eliminat-
ing discharges and achieving water quality which
provides for the protection and propagation of fish,
shellfish, and wildlife.
(5) We need to get serious about clean water.
In order to ensure adequate investment in clean
water infrastructure, an annual investment of
$6,000,000,000 is required.
(6) The taxpayer should contribute a fair share.
The Federal Government should continue to main-
tain its $2,000,000,000 in annual support.
(7) The polluter should bear the biggest bur-
den. In order to support the dual objective of deficit
reduction and pollution control and prevention,
$4,000,000,000 should be derived from appropriate
taxes on activities and products which are known to
contribute to water pollution.
(8) The mechanism for funding clean water
programs should be user friendly. The existing State
revolving loan program should remain to be the prin-
cipal means of financing Federal Water Pollution
Control Act implementation at the State level, but
the program should be amended to broaden project
eligibility, provide for grant-type assistance to small
and hardship communities, and help ensure provi-
sion of water and sewer services to all Americans at
affordable rates.
