Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Clean Water Act was amended in 1987 to require the control of stormwater pollution, which is a type of non-point source pollution. This amendment recognized the significant impact that stormwater runoff can have on water quality and the environment, and established a framework for regulating stormwater discharges from a variety of sources. While the Clean Water Act does also regulate point source pollution (which comes from a specific, identifiable source), the 1987 amendment specifically focused on controlling stormwater pollution. The other choices are not correct because they do not accurately describe the 1987 Clean Water Act amendment.
