This document is a continuing effort to develop and evaluate alternative management systems which will meet the needs of the FWPCAA, Section 208 project. Current Wastewater Management, May 1977, describes existing agencies; the Management Assessment, June 1977, assesses the current and future capabilities, authorities and limitations of the various agencies; and the Broad Management Options, July 1977, describes major approaches to meeting the management requirements. The ten functional areas of management (as defined by the Management Assessment report, July 1977) have been reduced to five because certain functional areas are compatible with one another and could be performed by a single agency. They are: (1) Regulatory and Compliance Functions; (2) Wastewater Treatment; (3) Water Quality Planning; (4) Management and Coordination; (5) Nonpoint Source Permitting and Regulation.
