            Environment and land use. In recent years, controls by the US federal government on the quality of air and
          water have increased significantly. Appropriate permits are necessary if the quality of the environment may be put
          at risk. An example concerns campgrounds or recreation facilities located near lakes or streams. Under the federal
          Water Pollution Control Act anyone who discharges pollutants into navigable waters must obtain approval by
          means of a permit from the Environmental Protection Agency or the Army Corps of Engineers. Such a permit might

          be necessary during the building and/or operation of a facility centering around a body of water.
