Summary
This bill amends the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to clarify the process for federal general permits under the national pollutant discharge elimination system. It authorizes the EPA to issue general permits on a state, regional, nationwide, or area-specific basis for similar discharge categories. The bill requires the EPA to provide at least two years' notice before allowing a general permit to expire without replacement, and mandates that expired permits continue to apply until either a new permit is issued or two years pass after a non-renewal decision is published.
