Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The NPDES system was established by the Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972, also known as the Clean Water Act. This act created a system for regulating the discharge of pollutants into U.S. waters and established water quality standards for surface waters. The Water Pollution Control Act of 1948 and the Water Quality Act both addressed water pollution, but did not establish the NPDES system. The Rivers and Harbors Act focused on navigable waterways and did not deal specifically with water pollution.
