Mandate to Restore Polluted Waters
FEDERAL WATER POLLUTION CONTROL ACT[As Amended Through P.L. 107–303, November 27, 2002]
SEC. 101. (a) The objective of this Act is to restore and maintainthe chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the Nation’swaters.

Effects of Nutrient Enrichment On Streams
• Increased Algae Growth• Wide Swings in Dissolved Oxygen
– fish need at least 4.0 mg/l
• Simplified Biological Communities– fewer types of fish and bugs but more of them– fish kills
• Habitat a Strong Modifier– Shading, Assimilative Capacity

Good Habitat(Shading, Better Nutrient Processing, More Living Places)

Poor Habitat(Full Sunlight, Boom and Bust Production, Fewer Living Spaces)

Managing the Landscape to Manage Nutrient Loads
• Streams need wide buffers– provide shading
• cooler temperature• limit algae growth
– filter pollutants• allow sediment to drop out• vegetation take up nutrients• accidents do happen, need margin of safety
• Good Physical Habitat– increase processing of nutrients– where drainage needed, use natural channel designs
• Wetlands or Riparian for Tile Drainage– tiles by-pass riparian zone
