Abstract |
This report outlines an optimum program to meet the Nation's pollution control needs over the next five years. During those years, the major thrust will be the cooperative Federal-State effort to implement water quality standards and attain adequate municipal and industrial waste treatment. The FWPCA will also develop, test, and demonstrate new technology to solve present and avert future pollution problems. The training of adequate manpower to operate the waste treatment facilities is crucial to the success of the whole anti-pollution effort. Program activity will be directed increasingly toward water quality control for entire river basins. The estimates given here represent FWPCA's best thinking at the start of 1968. |
