The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced the availability of the Effluent Guidelines Program Plan 14 under the Clean Water Act. This plan outlines updates on previous activities, reviews of wastewater discharges, and proposed treatment technologies. The plan also addresses new studies, such as those related to industrial discharges of nutrients and PFAS (a group of chemicals). EPA received public feedback on the preliminary plan and made some clarifications, although no significant changes were made. The plan is available online for public access.
Simple Explanation
The EPA made a plan to help keep water clean by checking what factories dump in the water and by looking into ways to make the water cleaner. They listened to what people thought about their first plan and made it clearer, but they didn't change much.
