What does NPDES stand for?

  1. National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System

  2. Network Protocol Development and Execution Suite

  3. National Program for Database Efficiency and Security

  4. New Products Development and Evaluation Service

The correct answer is: National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System

NPDES stands for National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System. This program was established by the Clean Water Act to regulate the discharge of pollutants into U.S. waters. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the purpose and scope of NPDES. B refers to the development and execution of network protocols, not environmental regulations. C refers to database efficiency and security, which is unrelated to pollution control. D is a general term and does not specify the focus on pollution discharge.
