Summary

States that the intent of this Act is to insure that the Blue Plains sewage system operates within defined limits so as to help protect and upgrade the water quality of the Potomac River, so that its fullest recreational and esthetic potential shall be available for the enjoyment and welfare of the general public, and to insure that no user jurisdiction uses more than its allotted share of the sewage system's flow capacity.

States that the Administrator shall be responsible for independently monitoring the performance of the operation of the Blue Plains sewage system and user jurisdictions to insure that they comply with all the requirements and provisions of the certificates governing the Blue Plains sewage system.
