The major state thrust <br /> <br />would be in the permit program which is authorized by the Federal Clean. <br /> <br />I.Ja ter Act and is admi n i s tered by the Department of Health in Co 1 or'ado. <br /> <br /> <br />Municipal point source discharges are to study the incremental TDS <br /> <br />increase over that amount in their water supply and if it does not exceed <br /> <br />400 mg/l, no reduction would be contemplated. <br /> <br />Industrial point source discharges are covered by the following <br />reference in the Forum report of 1975, "Ind_l!3J,!.~G'J,YJsch.9r,!es_---as each <br />state adopts the plan of implementation, the objective for industrial <br />discharges shall be a no-salt r'eturn policy \vherever practicable.,,?J <br />Regulations for applyin9 the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination <br /> <br />System permit pol icy to both municipal and industria'! point sources were <br /> <br />developed by the ForullI and they have been adopted by the Colorado ,Iate.r . <br /> <br />Quality Control Commission. <br /> <br />The seven Forum states are all very much dependant on Colorado River <br /> <br />water and recognize their mutual economic depc,ndance on that \'Iater.
