The value of demonstration projects in terms of pioneering
new concepts and techniques and expanding existing tech-
nology and management practices needed for improved waste
control cannot be underestimated. It is important to
accompany such plans and innovations with a careful eco-
nomic analysis of their effect upon the whole system.
would hope the committee would take the above into consid-
eration.

In the case of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972, problems arose in implementation due to unrealistic deadlines. It is hoped the committee will take into account the problems created when unrealistic deadlines are thrust upon an administrative agency. The promulgation of regulations without the proper technological back-up are not to the best interest of the public and do not lead to effective solutions.

We would be happy to meet with you or your staff to discuss techniques and problems associated with solid waste disposal as relates to rubber and chemical products.

Sincerely,

Johort D. Buckler
