To amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to authorize the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to issue a discharge permit that modifies the total suspended solids and biochemical oxygen demand requirements with respect to the discharge of waste water effluent into the ocean from certain publicly owned treatment works if a water reclamation program is being implemented, and for other purposes.

Amends the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to authorize the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, with the concurrence of a State, to issue a discharge permit that modifies certain requirements with respect to total suspended solids and biochemical oxygen demand in the effluent discharged from a publicly owned treatment works into open coastal marine waters if the applicant demonstrates that: (1) such discharge is at a depth exceeding 300 feet and meets all other requirements with regard to impacts on the marine environment; (2) the effluent has received chemically enhanced primary treatment and meets all State requirements; and (3) the applicant is implementing a water reclamation and reuse program that will result in a steady reduction in the equivalent concentration of total suspended solids discharged into the marine environment and will be cost-effective and not result in sewer and water rates in the affected service area that are more than two percent of the median family income in such area.
