Specific provisions of the Act that are applicable to pollution <br /> <br />from municipal, industrial, agricultural, and naturally occurring <br /> <br />sources are discussed in the following sections. <br /> <br />Municipal Water Quality Problems. The Act covers generally <br /> <br />the municipal water quality problems of the Colorado River Basin. <br /> <br />1 <br />It authorizes grants for waste treatment research, development and <br /> <br />training.2 It encourages waste management planning and authorizes <br /> <br />grants (75 percent federal subsidy) for the construction of publicly <br /> <br />owned treatment works. 3 The national allocation formula apportions <br /> <br />10.9 percent of the grant monies to the seven basin states,4 but the de- <br /> <br />gree to which those funds are applied within the CRB has not been de- <br /> <br />termined to date. The area-wide waste treatment planning require- <br /> <br />5 <br />ments of the Act apply to the CRB states, although the CRB states <br /> <br />have not yet designated the planning areas or management agencies to <br /> <br />implement the Act. <br /> <br />Publicly owned waste treatment facilities are point sources <br />
