To amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act with respect to permitting terms, and for other purposes.

Bill 118 hr 1181, also known as the "Clean Water Permitting Act," aims to make changes to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act in regards to permitting terms. The bill seeks to streamline the permitting process for activities that may impact water quality, such as construction projects or industrial operations.

One of the key provisions of the bill is to establish a more efficient and transparent permitting system, which would help to reduce delays and uncertainties for businesses and individuals seeking permits. The bill also includes measures to improve coordination between federal, state, and local agencies involved in the permitting process.

By making the permitting process more efficient and effective, the bill aims to strike a balance between protecting water quality and facilitating necessary activities that may impact the environment.
