gram, currently administered by
the Department of Environmen
tal Protection (DEP) in Pennsyl
vania. EPA says it will use its
power in “limited circum
stances” and “in a small
number of cases.” That means
EPA would have unprecedented
new federal discretion and au
thority, coalition members say.
For 30 years, forests, open
land and agricultural land have
been considered “non-point”
sources of potential water pollu
tion, as opposed to “point” or
pipe sources. Each source has
had a distinct approach, over
sight and rules to improve and
protect water quality. Under the
new rule, EPA can redefine farm
and forest activities as “point”

sources, which would require
landowners to go through a fed
eral permitting process for cer
tain activities.
With the rule, EPA sets total
maximum daily loads or
TMDLs. TMDLs calculate the
maximum amount of pollution
that a waterbody can receive to
meet standards. A TMDL is the
sum of all of the allowable loads
of a single pollutant from all
contributing sources, point and
nonpoint. It contains reductions
to meet water quality standards
and allocated reductions among
the sources in the watershed, ac
cording to the EPA.
Some Congressional legisla
tion already has been introduced
to halt or postpone the rule,
which EPA plans to implement
this summer.
