“Section 502 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act ( 33 U.S.C. § 1362 ) is amended by adding at the end the following: (24) OIL AND GAS EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION.— The term “oil and gas exploration, production, processing or treatment operations or transmission facilities” means all field activities or operations associated with exploration, production, processing, or treatment operations, or transmission facilities, including activities necessary to prepare a site for drilling and for the movement and placement of drilling equipment, whether or not such field activities or operations may be considered to be construction activities.”
