The Dreaded 301(h) Waiver to the Clean Water Act

"The Federal Clean Water Act requires that all wastewater treatment plants use primary and secondary treatment before discharging their water. In some cases, however, sewer agencies have been able to use a process known as a 301(h) waiver to get permission to discharge their wastewater with less than full secondary treatment." - excerpt from Surfrider Foundation's Coastal A-Z web article entitled Sewer Systems and Sewage Treatment.
