Synopsis
Rural impacts of federal water policy explained with real-world implications
This concise collection presents key ideas from a 1977 symposium on how the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments (P.L. 92-500) affect rural America. It highlights the costs, technical choices, and policy design that shape wastewater treatment in small communities, land use, and regional planning. The book emphasizes practical considerations for rural economies, including subsidies, cost sharing, and the balance between central and local control.
The chapters frame what rural areas must confront as municipalities upgrade facilities, spread treated waste on land, and decide how to manage nonpoint pollution. They explore how federal grants, operating costs, and land application options influence decisions in agriculture and small towns. The material also discusses the planning requirements of Section 208, the role of regional versus local agencies, and the need for balancing environmental goals with local economic realities.- How rural communities face financing and operating challenges when upgrading wastewater treatment
- The tradeoffs between centralized plants and on-lot treatment in less populated areas
- Impacts of cost-sharing rules, subsidies, and incentives on land use and farming
- Policy design considerations for more effective, regionally coordinated water quality planning
