Attached are the American Water Works Association's comments on the Proposed NPDES Water Transfers Rule (EPA-HQ-OW-2006-0141). If there are any difficulties with this transmission please contact Steve Via at (202) 628-8303 or svia@awwa.org. Best regards, Steve Via
This proposed rulemaking addresses the question of whether the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting program under Section 402 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) is applicable to water control facilities that merely convey or connect navigable waters. For purposes of this proposed action, the term "water transfer" refers to any activity that conveys or connects navigable waters (as that term is defined in the CWA) without subjecting the water to intervening industrial, municipal, or commercial use. This proposed rulemaking focuses exclusively on water transfers and is not relevant to whether any other activity is subject to the CWA permitting requirement.
