Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Environmental monitoring would be an inspection of a facility after a permit is obtained to ob-serve whether the plans submitted in the permit application are being implemented as approved. Permitting is an important step in controlling pollution. Waste minimization and land use plan-ning are activities aimed at prevention of pollution.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The Clean Water Act sets basic structure for regulating pollutants to United States waters. The Safe Drinking Water Act authorized the EPA to establish safe standards of purity and required all owners or operators of public water systems to comply with primary standards. The Toxic Substance Control Act gives the EPA the ability to track the 75,000 industrial chemicals current-ly produced or imported into the United States. The Pollution Prevention Act focused industry, government, and public attention on reduction of the amount of pollution through cost-effective changes in production, operation, and use of raw materials.
