                    IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

                                 A BILL


 
  To amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to reauthorize and 
 modify the State water pollution control revolving loan program, and 
                          for other purposes.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Polluter Pays Clean Water Funding 
Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) We are in the midst of a clean water crisis. Across the 
        Nation, water and sewer bills are skyrocketing as the costs of 
        municipal sewage treatment plants and other clean water 
        programs soar. These escalating costs have a disproportionate 
        effect on the poor and on families in small and economically 
        depressed communities.
            (2) There is no relief in sight. The most recent report by 
        the Environmental Protection Agency estimates at least 
        $155,000,000,000 will be needed over the next 20 years just to 
        meet current Federal Water Pollution Control Act requirements.
            (3) The whole story is even more sobering. If the full 
        costs of Federal Water Pollution Control Act implementation are 
        considered, including combined sewer overflows, storm water 
        control, polluted runoff control, and implementation of 
        national estuary programs, then the total cost of Federal Water 
        Pollution Control Act implementation will greatly exceed 
        $200,000,000,000 over the next 20 years.
            (4) We are not now doing enough. In light of these 
        overwhelming needs, the current Federal investment of 
        $2,000,000,000 in State assistance is grossly inadequate to 
        meet the Federal Water Pollution Control Act's fundamental 
        objective of eliminating discharges and achieving water quality 
        which provides for the protection and propagation of fish, 
        shellfish, and wildlife.
            (5) We need to get serious about clean water. In order to 
        ensure adequate investment in clean water infrastructure, an 
        annual investment of $6,000,000,000 is required.
            (6) The taxpayer should contribute a fair share. The 
        Federal Government should continue to maintain its 
        $2,000,000,000 in annual support.
            (7) The polluter should bear the biggest burden. In order 
        to support the dual objective of deficit reduction and 
        pollution control and prevention, $4,000,000,000 should be 
        derived from appropriate taxes on activities and products which 
        are known to contribute to water pollution.
            (8) The mechanism for funding clean water programs should 
        be user friendly. The existing State revolving loan program 
        should remain to be the principal means of financing Federal 
        Water Pollution Control Act implementation at the State level, 
        but the program should be amended to broaden project 
        eligibility, provide for grant-type assistance to small and 
        hardship communities, and help ensure provision of water and 
        sewer services to all Americans at affordable rates.
