Muddied Waters A Survey of Offshore Oilfield Drilling Wastes and Disposal Techniques to Reduce the Ecological Impact of Sea Dumping by Jonathan Wills, M.A., Ph.D., M.Inst.Pet., for Ekologicheskaya Vahkta Sakhalina (Sakhalin Environment Watch); 25th May 2000 Environmental Effects of Drilling Waste Discharges (continued) "Non-Water Quality Environmental Impacts" By February 1999 the oil industry appeared to have convinced the EPA that not only should the industry's commercial concerns be given due prominence in considering new legislation to regulate discharges, but also that the measures proposed should be placed in a wider environmental context. This allowed them to argue that dumping certain substances in the ocean would be less environmentally damaging, overall, than hauling it to shore for proper treatment, and to persuade EPA, in effect, to abandon zero-discharge as a pollution control mechanism. This ingenious (critics might say ingenuous) intellectual contrivance is neatly summarised in Veil's paper: In February 1999, the EPA proposed a regulation on SBMs that considered two options: a discharge option and a zero-discharge option. The EPA chose the discharge option for the proposal because it believes that the water quality impacts of appropriately controlled SBM discharges are less harmful to the environment than the non-water quality environmental impacts (fuel use, air emissions, etc.) that would occur if zero discharge had been selected. The EPA also believes the discharge option will encourage the further use and development of SBMs as a pollution-prevention technology. The proposed regulations present control measures the EPA thinks are adequate and appropriate.

ENVIRONMENT Environment t Water quality in San Pedro Bay is the healthiest it has been in decades, according to results of a study conducted with assistance from multiple state and federal resource agencies. Water clarity and oxygen content have improved from previous analyses conducted in the 1970s. In addition, kelp, eel grass, and bottom-dwelling organisms such as clams, worms and shrimp-like creatures are thriving, a clear indication of improved water quality (link to Success Story ). One reason for the improvement is the leadership role taken by the Port of Long Beach in administering water quality programs, including a comprehensive storm water pollution prevention program that earned an award from the California Environmental Protection Agency.

en EUROPA European Commission Environment Policies ... Resources Water policy in the European Union For most people in the European Union access to clean water in quite abundant quantities is taken for granted. Most people do not realise however, that all many human activities put a burden on water quality and quantity. All polluted water, whether polluted by households, industry or agriculture, returns back, one way or another, to the environment and may cause damage to human health or the environment. This site attempts to provide further information on the different pieces of water legislation (and related policies) in the European Community which contribute to a major part that clean water in sufficient quantity becomes a reality all over Europe. Find some more details, in particular about: The new European Water Policy : River basin management Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC) Water Pollution coming from urban waste water and certain industrial sectors Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive(91/271/EEC) Dangerous Substances and pollution control from industry Discharges of Dangerous Substances Directive (76/464/EEC) and the Priority Substances under the Water Framework Directive Water pollution caused by Nitrates from agricultural sources Nitrates Directive (91/676/EEC) Bathing Water Quality of rivers, lakes and coastal waters

Almanac of Policy Issues Home Search Archive Environment In many ways, America's environment has improved dramatically since the first Earth Day in 1970. The quality of the nation's air has improved substantially with respect to many pollutants, particularly lead after it was phased out as a gasoline additive several years ago. Water pollution from "point sources" like industrial facilities and wastewater treatment plants has seen similar improvement, though pollution from "nonpoint" sources principally urban, suburban and agriculture runoff has proved an intractable problem of ongoing concern. While these and other domestic environmental issues draw continued attention, however, many environmentalists are now placing international issues at the top of their list of priorities. Issues like global warming, population growth, deforestation, and the continued loss of many species of plants and animals have reached increasing prominence on the environmental agenda. These issues are not without controversy. While few people consider themselves anti-environment, many environmental policies draw considerable opposition from those who are adversely affected economically. Domestically, industries complain of a heavy regulatory burden and question the benefits of new environmental proposals. Property owners complain that their rights are being infringed. There is also significant conflict in the international arena, where poor, developing nations argue that they can not afford new environmental restrictions and that rich, industrialized nations, who have until recently been the world's primary polluters, should shoulder most of the burden.

Developments Bathing water quality On 24 October 2002, the Commission has adopted the proposal for a revised Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the Quality of Bathing Water COM(2002)581 Europeans are very concerned about water quality in sea, coasts, rivers and lakes. They put good bathing water quality on the first line when judging their immediate living environment. Knowing they have clean and safe water to swim or play in is an important factor in their choice of a holiday or weekend destination. Also for the tourist industry, clean and safe water is an important argument to attract visitors to an area. Already back in the 1970's, Europe decided that bathing water quality should be monitored and tested in order to protect bathers from health risks and to preserve the environment from pollution. This resulted in 1976 in one of the first pieces of European environmental legislation: the Council Directive 76/160/EEC on Bathing Water Quality The 1976 Bathing Water Directive has set binding standards for bathing waters throughout the European Union. The annual Bathing Water Report and Tourist Atlas show substantial progress in the quality of bathing waters and large public awareness.
