WATER POLLUTION

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 23, 1965

U.S. SENATE,

SUBCOMMITTEE ON AIR AND WATER POLLUTION CONTROL,

COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC WORKS,

Washington, D.C.

The committee met at 9:30 a.m., pursuant to call, in room 4200, New Senate Office Building, Senator Edmund S. Muskie (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding.

Present: Senators Muskie, Moss, Boggs, and Murphy.
Senator MUSKIE. The hearing will be in order.

Approximately 1 month ago, this subcommittee began a series of hearings here in Washington to explore the effectiveness of the existing Federal pollution control legislation. Particular attention has been given to the construction grants program, technological problems in municipal and industrial waste treatment, comprehensive planning, and efforts to eliminate the problems created by the use of synthetic detergents.

At the conclusion of the Washington hearings, the subcommittee conducted hearings throughout the country from Portland, Maine, to San Francisco, Calif.

Local and regional problems were explored in detail by the subcommittee in these hearings. Well-qualified witnesses in Philadelphia, New Orleans, Atlanta, Kansas City, and Buffalo, as well as Portland and San Francisco, discussed problems peculiar to their areas. A partial listing includes the effects of pollution on the shellfisheries, the threat posed to our estuarial waters by municipal and industrial wastes, the problems encountered by smaller communities and large metropolitan centers in financing needed treatment construction, the increased complexity of pollution resulting from urban and industrial growths, and the premature aging of our lakes due to pollution, notably Lake Erie.

At each hearing of this subcommittee we sought clarification of the present activities in the various areas of water pollution control and the extent to which water quality standards have been set and met.

Our citizens are becoming increasingly aware of the urgency of attaining and maintaining standards of water quality sufficient for our many domestic, industrial, recreational, and other legitimate needs. We know that the control of water pollution is not only a Federal, State, county, or community responsibility but a most vital responsibility of each and every one of us.

During the next 2 days, we hope to become more fully aware of the views of experts in the field and plans for financing waste treatment
