Which of the following is not a goal of the clean water act?

A. Controlling water pollution from point sources
B. Encouraging voluntary cooperation by citizens related to nonpoint sources of pollution.
C. Educating citizens about the importance of reducing pollution
D. allowing businesses to release waste into rivers.
Is the answer D?

Based of what is said, with out researching the clean water act, I can tell that D is correct for the answer. Therefore, I agree with you and Ms. Sue.

A, B, and C talk about what the clean water act is doing about water pollution.

Controlling pollution of water is a good reason, because it does sort of "clean" the water.

Both B and C basically say that they have different things to encourage people to help clean up pollution in water.This helps all kinds of different areas of water.

All three help decrease the amount of pollution in water, and it makes it to where more water organisms can survive.

I hope this helps! :)

P.S. Sorry again about not being on to help. I also answered about the conserving natural resource question.

Right.

Ding ding ding! You got it, my friend! Option D, allowing businesses to release waste into rivers, is definitely not a goal of the Clean Water Act. We want to keep our rivers clean and our fish happy, not turn them into waste disposal sites. Good job!

Yes, the correct answer is D. "Allowing businesses to release waste into rivers" is not a goal of the Clean Water Act. It is important to note that the Clean Water Act was enacted in the United States in 1972 to regulate and control water pollution. To determine the correct answer, you can analyze the goals of the Clean Water Act and eliminate the answer choices that align with those goals.

A. "Controlling water pollution from point sources" is indeed a goal of the Clean Water Act. The act aims to reduce pollutants discharged from specific, identifiable sources such as factories and wastewater treatment plants.

B. "Encouraging voluntary cooperation by citizens related to nonpoint sources of pollution" is also a goal of the Clean Water Act. Nonpoint sources of pollution are diffuse and do not originate from a single identifiable source, such as runoff from agricultural fields or urban areas. The act promotes citizen involvement in addressing these sources.

C. "Educating citizens about the importance of reducing pollution" is another goal of the Clean Water Act. It aims to raise awareness among the public about the significance of reducing pollution and the impact it has on water quality.

Therefore, by eliminating options A, B, and C, the answer must be D, as it is not aligned with the goals of the Clean Water Act.
