The Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1948 was the first major law to address water pollution. However, it was the Cuyahoga River fire in 1969 that brought national attention to water pollution issues and jumpstarted the establishment of the EPA in 1970 and ultimately the inception of the Clean Water Act in 1972. https://www.epa.gov/history/milestones-epa-and-environmental-history #CleanWaterAct #SWPPP #washmo #waterwisewednesday
