Abstract |
The purpose of this report is to: review the nature and magnitude of problems of abating industrial pollution of water; identify, describe and evaluate reasonable and possible alternative measures for providing financial and other appropriate incentives, including the role of state and local governments, to encourage industrial pollution abatement; evaluate existing incentive programs in local, state or in the Federal government aimed at encouraging industrial pollution abatement; and discuss and evaluate alternative measures for more effective control with special attention to possible incentives for cooperation by public agencies and private corporations in an effective control program. An additional alternative to be considered is the potentiality of control under common and statutory law; the study will survey and evaluate the adequacy of the law on industrial pollution control. |
