Municipal Wastewater Treatment Construction Grant Amendments of 1981

Summary

Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1981 - Repeals a specified provision of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act thereby deleting limits on the use of public treatment works grants for treating, storing, or conveying the flow of industrial users into treatment works. Amends such Act to authorize appropriations for fiscal year 1982 for the construction of treatment works. Increases the amount of funds that may be reserved by the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency for fiscal year 1982 for State management assistance. Revises the Federal share of such grants. Directs the Administrator to allot funds to the State of New York to pay for conveying sewage from the New York City Convention Center to the Newtown, New York, sewage treatment plant. Reduces the authorization of appropriations for the purposes of such Act. Declares it congressional policy that waste treatment and management projects undertaken with Federal assistance under such Act shall be economical and cost effective. Describes procedures for approval or disapproval of State applications for such construction grants. Modifies permit requirements concerning pollutants discharged into marine waters. Grants certain States and the Administrator (currently, the Administrator with the concurrence of a State) discretionary powers in regard to such discharges. Repeals provisions in regard to applications for modifications of provisions concerning publicly owned treatment works in existence on July 1, 1977, or approved before June 30, 1974, or certain effluent limitations defined by the Administrator. Directs the Administrator, before approving grants under such Act, to determine the relationship between the capacity of such treatment works and the needs to be served by such works. Requires the Administrator to make grants for projects for secondary treatment or more stringent treatment and new interceptors and appurtenances. Limits to a specified sum the amount that may be allotted to a State for such purposes. Directs the Administrator to report to Congress concerning the Federal water pollution control program.

• amends ← An amendment to permit a legislative veto of EPA regulations. The amendment permits both Houses to disapprove a regulation or rule of the EPA by passing a joint resolution of disapproval. The EPA regulation cannot become effective if one house passes a resolution of disapproval and the other house does not take action on it. The other house may, however, vote on the resolution and not pass it, thus permitting the EPA regulation to become effective.
• amends ← An amendment to require the EPA with projects that have a variety of designs to conduct the design and efforts in a manner that leads to sound design decisions at reasonable costs. To effect this the agency is 1) discourage duplicative studies and reviews, 2) encourage use of engineering and economic data and conclusions in existence from other projects, 3) encourage procedures that allow early elimination of unattractive designs, and 4) see that study and design costs are reasonable and in line with engineering and work industry standards for comparable work.
• amends ← An amendment to require the Administrator of the EPA to require value engineering review in connection with any treatment works, prior to approval of a grant, in any situation where the cost of the project is in excess of $10,000,000. "Value Engineering Review" is defined to mean "a specialized cost control technique which uses a systematic and creative approach to identify and to focus on unnecessarily high cost in a project in order to arrive at a cost saving without sacrificing the reliability or efficiency of the project".
