WASTE TREATMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS FOR THE AREA
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 208 of the Federal Water Pollution
Control Act Amendments of 1972, P.L. 92-500 (hereinafter called "the
Act"), the Administrator of the United States Environmental Protec-
tion Agency has by regulation published guidelines for the identifi-
cation of those areas which, as a result of urban -industrial concen-
tration or other factors, have substantial water quality control
problems (40 CFR Part 126); and
WHEREAS, the Mobile and Baldwin County Urban Area, as enlarged
for Section 208 planning purposes, satisfies the criteria contained
in the Act and guidelines and designation of the area pursuant to
Section 208 and those guidelines is desirable; and
WHEREAS, Section 126.10 of the guidelines requires, among other
things, that the affected general purpose units of local government
within the problem area must show their intent, through formally
adopted resolutions, to join together in the planning process to
develop and implement a plan which will result in coordinated waste
treatment management systems for the area; and
WHEREAS, Section 208 of the Act requires that the planning
agency have in operation a continuing areawide waste treatment
management planning process within one year of its designation
by the Governor; and
WHEREAS, Section 208 of the Act requires that the initial plan
resulting from the planning process be certified by the Governor
and submitted to the Administrator within two years of the Commence-
ment of the planning process; and
WHEREAS, such planning process and waste treatment management
system is a necessary and significant measure to control present
point and non -point sources of water pollution and to guide and
regulate future development and growth in the area which may af`.ect
water quality, in order to'prevent, abate and solve existing and
potential substantial water quality control problems; 11
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS RESOLVED THAT THE' C, v Aii h0

SECTION 208 OF THE
FEDERAL_ WATER POLLUTION CONTROL ACT
AMENDMENTS OF 1972
(Areawide Wastewater Management Plans)
The following are some of the most commonly asked questions about Section 208
of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972. The answers are
taken directly from the Environmental Protection Agency's Draft Guidelines for
administering 208 Plans and from the text of the State Briefing held in Atlanta,
Georgia, on May 20, 1974. The applicable page number(s) of the Draft Guidelines
are shown in parentheses after each question.
1. What is the Purpose of a 208 Plan? (1-1)
Section 208 of the Act encourages areawide management planning in areas
which, as a result of urban industrial concentrations or other factors,
have substantial water quality control problems. Local areas are provided
a unique opportunity to plan and manage a comprehensive program based on
integrated planning and control over such activities as municipal and
industrial wastewater, storm and combined sewer runoff, non -point source
pollutants, and land use as it relates to water quality. Through a locally -
controlled planning agency, an area can select a plan that.is cost-effective
and implementable. (The plans will be funded at 100% until June 30, 1975,
at which time, the funding will drop to 75%. A total of one hundred million
dollars is available to be spent in fiscal year 1975.)
2. What is included in a 208 Plan? (1-2)
Basic Planning Features of 208:
1. Identify Problems
2. Identify Constraints
3. Identify Possible Solutions to Problems
4. Develop Alternative Plans
5. Analyze Alternative Plans
6. Selection of an Areawide Plan
7. Periodic Updating of the Plan
is
Significant sources of non -point source pollut
' 4. Bodies'of water and related lands that would be beneficially
or adversely affected by a change in water quality.
5. Existing waste treatment and collection systems.
6. Solid waste disposal sites.
7. Environmentally sensitive areas:
a. Aquifers and aquifer recharge areas
b. Marshlands and wetlands
c. Forrests and woodlands
d. Flood plains
e. Step slopes
f. Shorelands
g., Erodable and/or poorly drained soils
7. How will the Management System Work? (8=5 and 8-6)
ways:
The Management System to institute a 208 Plan may be found in three
1. Single Planning and Management Agency - One option is to establish
a single planning and management agency with a geographical juris-
diction the same as the 208 planning area. In some situations
where a single governmental jurisdiction already exists, -and whose
jurisdiction encompasses the entire 208 area, it may be assigned
both the planning and management responsibilities. inhere such an
agency is based partly -on a Council of Governments (COG) or
regional planning agency which has been designated as a clearinghouse
agency under A-95, final approval of specific projects in the 208
area can be expedited.
2. Single Planning Agency and a Single Management Agency - Another
option is to divide the planning and management respousibi lities
between two separate agencies. A previously established COG or
regional planning agency could be utilized as the planning agency
for 208. Since such organizations already have local elected
officials on their boards, the representation requirements would
publicly -owned waste treatment works. In contrast to Section 208 plans,
facilities plans (Section 201) are limited essentially to abatement
of pollution from municipal point sources and those industries served or
to be served by municipal waste treatment systems. Features included in
approved 201 facilities plans and scheduled for plans and specifications
should be considered as "existing" for 208 planning purposes. No 201
facilities plans should be initiated within a 208 area after 208 planning has
been undertaken unless the urgency of a specific problem dictates the need
for a narrowly focused planning effort. If a 201 and 208 planning process
are conducted at the same time, the work plan of each plan of study must
be formulated to demonstrate coordination where necessary, and the
elimination of duplication of effort. The 208 grant regulations indicate
that 208 funds will not support work beyond the infiltration/inflow analysis
level; therefore, if detailed sewer system evaluation are required to quality
for Step 2 or 3 grants, these costs must be borne by 201 grant fundn rather
than 208 program. (State Briefing p.2)
5. Why is technical planning necessary? (3-2)
The purpose of technical planning is to develop a coordinated pollution
control strategy for areas that may not be able to meet water quality standards
through application of base level technology.. The control strategy may be a
combination of controls on 1) land use and growth, 2) municipal wastewater
systems, 3) industrial effluents and 4) non -point sources, where feasible.
6c What areas will be inventoried and analyzed in a 208? (4-4)
The Inventory and Analysis of a 208 Plan may include but not necessarily
be limited to the following:
1. Industrial, commercial, residential and other activities from which
significant pollution may be generated.
2. Topography and soil conditions of the 208 area.
• 1 .
" 3. What are the benefits of a 208"Plan? (1-3)
Outputs of a 208 Plan,
A. Identification of anticipated municipal and industrial treatment
works construction over a 20 year period.
B. Planning for facilities eligible under 40 CFR 35.917-1(a)-(i) and
40 CFR 35.1062 and for which Step 2 or Step 3 grant assistance is
expected during the five-year period following 208 plan approval.
C. Identification of required urban stormwater runoff control systems.
D. Establishment of construction priorities over five and twenty year
periods.
E. Establishment of a regulatory program to: 1) provide for waste
treatment management on an areawide basis and for identification,
evaluation, and control of treatment of all point and nonpoint
pollution sources; 2) regulate the location, modification, and
construction of waste discharging facilities; and 3) assure that
industrial or commercial wastes discharged into publicly -owned
treatment works meet applicable pretreatment requirements.
F. Identification of agencies necessary to construct, operate, and
maintain facilities required by the plan and otherwise carry out
the plan.
G. Identification of nonpoint sources of pollution related to
agriculture, silviculture, mining, construction, and certain
forms of salt water intrusion, and procedures and methods
(including land use requirements) to control those sources to the
extent feasible.
H. Processes to control the disposition of residual waste and land
disposal of pollutants to protect ground and surface water quality.
1. Selection of a management system to implement the plan and identi-
fication of the major management alternatives (including enforce-
ment, financing, land use and other regulatory measures and
associated management authorities and practices).
J. A schedule for implementing all elements of the plan, including
identification of the costs of implementation.
K. Required certifications relating to consistency with other plans
and to public participation in the planning process and plan adoption.
L. Recommendations of appropriate local governing bodies as to state
certification and EPA approval of the plan.
4. What is the Relationship Between 208 and 201 (Facilities) Plans?(2-1)
Section 201 facilities plans cover the planning and preliminary design
portions of plans and studies (Step 1 elements) related to construction of
automatically be met. This would also mean th the management
agency would be under the direction of professional management as
it carries out the day-to-day implementation of the areawide
management plan. Where separate management agencies would have to
be brought about entailing some loss of local authority.
3. Single Planning Agency and Plural Management Agencies - A third
basic option would be to have a single planning agency and more
than one management agency. This option would allow those management
agencies already providing waste treatment service to continue
doing so with a minimum effect upon their internal administration.
This option, therefore, would permit the maintenance of existing
institutions and agencies to a closer degree than the other basic
options.
8. The following steps are necessary to qualify for a 208 grant: (this portion
is .taken from phone calls with E.P.A., Region IV, in Atlanta, Georgia)
1. A public hearing is held by the State for the purpose of desig-
nating a 208 area and agency.
2. Resolutions are signed by participating governments stating that
they agree to work together to form a plan and have an intent to
implement the plan. Final approval of the plan must come from the
Governor and the Environmental ProtectionAgency.
3. A designation package has to be -approved in Atlanta, Georgia, and
Washington, D.C., by the Environmental Protection Agency. At this
time, the money to do a 208 Plan is set aside.
4. An application has to be approved by Atlanta, Georgia, and Washington,
D.C., Environmental Protection Agency.
All of the above steps have to be completed by June 30, 1975, in order
receive 100% funding for the 208 Plan.
