                                    SUMMARY
         The five year  strategies  and  annual work programs developed  by state
and areawide  planning  agencies  in  the basin  were  reviewed,  and  studies  with
particular  relevance  to  Great  Lakes   issues  and  problems  identified.
Generally,  study  proposals  focus on point  and nonpoint sources  of  pollution,
residuals  and  sludge  management,  toxics,  updating  land   use  and  population
projections, and  implementation of water  quality studies.   Few  studies  were
identified  which specifically   deal  with  the  Great   Lakes.    However,  many
proposed  work  elements  indirectly  address Great  Lakes  problems or  provide
critical  information needed  to plan  for  or  manage   the  Great  Lakes.^   For
example,  many  of the  five  year  strategies,  carried out  as  planned,  will  be
generating  information  on point  and  nonpoint  inputs   to  the  Great Lakes,  as
well as their control.

         Due to  recent  changes  in  priorities and program direction for Section
208 Water Quality Management,  some of the programs outlined in  both  the  five
year strategies  and  work  programs  will no  longer be eligible  for 208  funding.
Generally,  highest funding priority in the future will  be  assigned to programs
addressing  nonpoint  source pollution.

          It  is  important that the   results  from  the regional studies  and
demonstrations,  which  have  begun  or  will  be  completed over the next several
years,  be utilized  in  the evolution  and  maintenance of a management  strategy
for the Great Lakes.

                                  INTRODUCTION
         According to  Water Quality  Management regulations  (40 CFR  Part  35,
Subpart G  [1979]),  each  state  must  prepare  and  update  annually  a  five-year
strategy  for  controlling  pollution  from  point  and  nonpoint  sources.    The
strategy must include  a statement  of goals;  identification of  priority  water
quality problems  and  estimated  costs of activities  to control  the  problems;
identification  of responsible  governmental  entities;  and  a  summary of  all
anticipated funding.   The  strategy should address the  problems,  solutions  and
priorities in certified  and approved  Water Quality Management  plans;  problems
identified by the state in  its  problem assessment process;  and needs related
to problems with management agency performance.

         The state must  involve  areawide "208" agencies in  development  of  the
five-year strategy and  consider  priorities  suggested by the  agencies.   Public
participation is  also  required.   U.S.  EPA  Regional  Administrators  use  the
state strategies  in their reviews of areawide work programs.

         Brief  summaries  of the  five-year  strategies  prepared by  Great  Lakes
states  and  areawide  agencies which were  available at the  time  of  this  review
follow.    Major  water  pollution  problems   highlighted   in  the   reports  and
programs  proposed for  pollution abatement are  discussed.   Pollution abatement
programs  of particular  relevance  to the  Great  Lakes  are  identified.   Work
elements  were  summarized  by  13  categories  of  interest:    point  sources,
nonpoint   sources,  toxics,  water  quality  studies,  atmospheric  sources,
groundwater,  land  use/population  projections,  energy,  water  conservation,
wetlands,  dredging,  residuals  and  sludge management,  and  specific  Great Lakes
studies.  Anticipated costs  for  the proposed  work elements are provided.

          In  some  instances  (e.g.,  in the  State  of  Michigan),  designated  208
areawide  planning agencies  prepared individual five-year  strategies  for input
to  the overall  state  report.    Summaries   of  these  reports  have also  been
included.   Where  five-year  strategies  were  unavailable,  annual  work  programs
for  the state  and/or  areawide  agencies were  included  to  provide  some insight
into  the  region's proposed  activities.

          It should be noted  that  not  all of the activities listed  in the five-
year  strategies and  work programs  are  proposals  for  208 funding.  A number of
the  programs specified  require  another source  of  funding.    Generally,  the
    Annual work  programs  are  required of states and areawide agencies under 40
    CFR  Part 35,  Subpart  G  (1979).   Work programs are  expected to emphasize
    quantifiable  objectives  and  outputs.   For  each output,  the work  program
    must  list  cost,  source of funds, name of responsible agency/department and
    certain  other information  required by  regulation.   State  work programs
    cover  all  activities  the state  will  fund  with 106 and 208 grants,  as well
    as  Clean Lakes  (Section 314)  grants and  205(g)   grants.    Areawide work
    programs  cover  activities  funded  under   Section  208,  unless  the  state
    passes  through  106,  205(g), or other funds  to  the agency for specific
    programs.   A  separate  public participation work  program is also required
    by  regulation.

-------
strategies and  work  programs reviewed  focus  on point  and  nonpoint sources of
pollution,  residuals  and  sludge management,  toxics,  updating  land  use  and
population projections,  and  implementation of water  quality  studies.  Energy,
water conservation,  wetlands and dredging issues  are  rarely  addressed.   The
significance  of atmospheric  pollution  and  groundwater contamination  will be
the subject of  a handful  of  studies.   Although there  are  few studies  specific
to  the  Great  Lakes,  a  number  of  relevant  investigations have  been  proposed
(e.g., toxic substances monitoring program for Saginaw  Bay  [ECMPDR]).

             CENTRAL NEW YORK REGIONAL PLANNING &  DEVELOPMENT BOARD
                FIVE-YEAR STRATEGY FOR WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT
                                    FY 79-83
Major Problems/Program Emphasis

         The Central New York Regional Planning'and Development  Board  (CNYRPB)
has  identified  the threat  of  toxic substances  pollution  as the most  serious
water  quality  problem  facing  the  region.    Other nonpoint sources  such  as
atmospheric  fallout  and  urban and  rural  runoff  also  deserve  attention,  as
control and  management  efforts are poorly  developed.   Water quality  affected
by point sources has been  steadily  improving  over  the  past  decade  as pollutant
sources have been  eliminated and treatment  facilities  built.   However,  there
are  still  a  number of locations  where new  and  improved  facilities  are  needed.
Lake  Ontario,  the  Oswego  River,  Onondaga Lake,  and  Cowaselon  Creek are  all
adversely impacted by combined  sewer overflows.

Highlights/Great Lakes Concerns

         The  three  primary objectives  of  the Central  New   York Regional
Planning  and Development  Board  Water  Quality  Management  Program  during  the
continuing programming process will be:   (1)  the creation or designation  of a
water  quality management  agency  to  coordinate programming in each  county;  (2)
the  identification  of  toxic  waste disposal  practices  that pose  a  serious
threat  to  ground  and  surface  water quality; and  (3)  the establishment  of  an
integrated  monitoring  program  to  assess  the   effects  of  nonpoint  sources,
residual  wastes,   urban  stormwater,  and  combined  sewer  overflows  on  regional
water  quality.    The  Water  Quality  Management  Plan  will also   assist
municipalities  in  developing  pretreatment  programs,  and coordinate  the
upgrading  of wastewater collection and treatment facilities in the region.

         The study is  comprehensive  in  its  identification  of problem areas and
recommendations  for  handling the  region's problems, but  full implementation of
proposed   programs  will  depend   on  funding   levels   in  the  upcoming  years.
Several  legislative  and   management  unit  coordination  recommendations  are
proposed which will  aid  implementation of its plan, if enacted.

      CENTRAL UPPER PENINSULA PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT REGIONAL COMMISSION
                FIVE YEAR STRATEGY FOR WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT
                                    FY 79-83
Major Problems/Program Emphasis

         Municipal  wastewater  treatment  problems,   construction  site  runoff,
and  pollution  from  individual  on-site disposal  systems are  the major  water
quality  issues  in  this  region.    Municipal  problems  include:    achieving
compliance  with  effluent  limitations  at  existing  plants;   providing  adequate
treatment  for  small  communities  currently  lacking  effective  treatment;  and
rehabilitating sewer and stormwater collection systems at reasonable cost.

         The  following were  noted  as minor  problems:    residual  wastes,
pollution  from agricultural  and mining activities (mining is a major  activity
in  the region),  urban and  industrial  stormwater runoff,  pollution  from
silvicultural activities, and hydrologic modifications.

         Emphasis  is  on continuing  planning  for  municipal treatment  needs,
inland  lake management,  and  individual  on-site disposal  systems.   Although
lake water  quality  is  not currently a  problem,  it will  be  addressed in view of
the  development  projected  to  occur  in  this region.   Overall  emphasis  is  on
maintaining the high quality of the waters of the region.

Highlights/Great Lakes Concerns

         An interesting element  of  the  continuing  planning  process  is  the
proposed  inventory of wastewater rate  practices  and development  of wastewater
rate guidelines  for municipal  systems  to  promote  the operation  of systems on a
sound  financial   basis.   Two  additional  studies  are  planned,  one  on  inland
lakes  management  and another on individual on-site  disposal  systems.

         Atmospheric sources,  toxics, energy,  wetlands,  dredging and  specific
Great  Lakes issues were not  addressed.

             EAST  CENTRAL MICHIGAN PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT REGION
                FIVE YEAR STRATEGY FOR WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT
                                   FY 79-83
Major Problems/Program Emphasis

         Urban  nonpoint  sources have  been  shown to  significantly worsen
Saginaw River  water quality  following  a sunmer  storm  event, with  standards
violated for both  dissolved  oxygen  and bacteriological  contamination.   Rural
nonpoint  sources   also  degrade  the  water  quality.    Toxic  substances  from
current and  past  point and  nonpoint  sources  within  the  Saginaw  River  basin
have contaminated the  rivers.   These  inplace  pollutants will  continue to pose
a management problem  for' years to come.   Residuals disposal  is  considered  a
major  problem,   yet  its  effect  on  water  quality  has  not  been  monitored.
Development of  institutional  arrangements  to  provide for  plan  implementation
and to monitor  plan compliance is  an  additional  problem.

         High  priority  has  been assigned  to those  significant   problems
inadequately addressed  by existing  institutional  regulatory  mechanisms.   The
highest priority issues for the next  five years  are:

         Urban nonpoint sources -
              primarily storm and combined  sewer discharges and  sanitary sewer
              overflows;
         Rural nonpoint sources -
              primarily on-site  domestic wastewater  disposal,   runoff from
             .agriculturally-managed  land,  rural stormwater drainage systems;
         Toxic substances -
              both  point  and  nonpoint  sources, and  present  contamination of
              sediments,  water,  and  both  the  aquatic and  terrestrial  food
              chains; and
         Residuals management -
              efficient handling  and environmentally safe disposal  of  sludge
              and  solid waste.

Highlights/Great Lakes Concerns

         A unique  element  of  East Central Michigan's  five  year strategy  is the
 Section 115 (Federal  Water Pollution Control  Act Amendments  of 1972)  study of
 PCB/PBB  contamination of  the Pine  and  Saginaw  river sediments.   Toxic
 substances  control   and hazardous  waste  management  are both  addressed
 comprehensively.

          Agricultural  nonpoint  sources  of nutrients  to  Saginaw Bay are a major
 Great  Lakes  problem,  and  the  Quanicassee-Sebewaing  watershed  has been
 identified as  a state  priority  for Rural Clean Water program funds.

                                   FY 79-83
Major Problems/Program _Emphasis

         Four  pollutant   sources  were  assigned  high  regional  priority:
agricultural  runoff  to surface  waters; sedimentation of  surface waters  from
construction  and earth moving  activities;  discharges  from septic  systems;  and
impact  of  dredging  activities  on surface  waters.   Other  concerns  include
landfill seepage and soil  eroison.

Highlights/Great Lakes Concerns

         Areas  of  emphasis are  narrowly defined, but  not  well  funded  (due to
the  sparse population of  the region).   No  specific  Great  Lakes  studies  are
proposed.

                                    FY 79
Major Problems/Program Emphasis

         Discharges  from municipal treatment plants  and  pulp  and paper  mills
were identified as major  point  sources  of pollution.  Urban runoff  and  rural
runoff,   primarily   from   intensive  agricultural  activities  and  rural
construction,   were  identified  as  significant   sources  of  pollution.    Urban
runoff problems were  not studied  in  detail  in  development  of the initial  208
plan but will  be addressed during FY  79.

         Fox  Valley's proposed  208   activities  are  based on   the  State  of
Wisconsin's five year strategy and are consistent with the  state's priorities.
Program emphasis  is  focused  on means of  achieving  a  50%   reduction  in
phosphorus loadings to the  region's  surface waters.   Completion  of  waste load
allocations,   urban  runoff  controls,  detailed   subwatershed   plans   for
landowners,  inventory  and  analysis   of  existing  and  projected  sludge
production,  feasibility  studies  in  marsh  and  wetlands maintenance  and
reclamation  for  water quality benefits,  in-lake  management  studies,  and
continuation of water quality  monitoring  are near-term priorities.

Highlights/Great Lakes Concerns

         Special consideration  is given  to  review  and  development of  waste
load  allocations,  including  those  for small streams.  Wetlands  are addressed
through  a marsh and wetlands study.   First-level state priorities  include a
groundwater  study   and  a  determination  of reasonable  costs which might  be
imposed  on a municipality for  advanced wastewater  treatment.   Other  state
activities  include  development  of  water  quality   objectives  for   lakes  and
possible  promulgation of new standards to meet  the objectives.

          Lower  level  state five year  priorities  (contingent  upon  funding) are:

          -  a determination  of  the  types  and  the  extent  of   various  toxic
            discharges;
          -  further  efforts  to  coordinate the  state  and  federal programs  for
            dredge and fill materials;
          -  study of  the  impact  of  discharges  on wetlands  and the  effects  the
            wetlands  have on water quality;
          -  evaluation  of  the  need   for  and  effect  of laws  and  regulations
            dealing  with  source  reductions  (i.e., phosphorus bans,  water
            conservation).

                FIVE YEAR STRATEGY FOR WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT
                                    FY 79-83
Major Problems/Program Emphasis

         Since  vast  quantities  of  hazardous  materials are  used,  transported
and  disposed  of in  the region, toxics  were  identified as  a primary concern.
Urban  nonpoint  source  pollution  of  the  Flint  River  is   a  major  problem.
Several  agricultural  problem areas have  also been  identified.   Resolution of
use  conflicts  at  the Holloway Reservoir  and  determination of cost/benefits of
site  development  versus costs  of water  quality  protection  are  also  stressed.
These problems, in  addition  to  public  education and coordination of management
activities, are the  focus of GLS-Vs Five Year Strategy.

Highlights/Great Lakes  Concerns

         The  strategy  focuses  on  specific  problems which  are  to  be  studied
comprehensively.    Results  of  each  study  will  be  integrated.    For example,
toxic  pollutants  will  be identified  in the  urban and  agricultural nonpoint
source  studies  as well  as in the special  toxics  study.

         Primary  emphasis is placed on  nonpoint  source problems because  point
source  problems "...are  slowly  but  surely being  corrected."  The urban  study
will calculate  pollutant loads  from stormsewer discharges  as well  as  from
river  bottom scour  sources.   The  agricultural  study  is  about  a year ahead  of
similar agency programs, addressing pesticides  as well as cropland  and  animal
waste   runoff.    The  Land  Use  study  will  determine   the  most  cost-effective
regional development  in view of requirements  for water  pollution control.

         GLS-V includes a study of  atmospheric  sources  of  water pollution  in
its  proposed  strategy.  Additionally,  the Holloway  Reservoir study  will assess
nearby   wetlands  to   determine  their  role  in  and effect  on  the  reservoir
ecosystem.

         The   water   quality  programs  planned  for the   region  —  urban  and
agricultural   nonpoint  sources,  toxic materials,   and  atmospheric  sources
will address  Saginaw Bay water  quality — a significant Great Lakes  concern.

         Overall,   the  strategy is   clearly  defined,  with the  emphasis  on
comprehensive analysis of the  most  serious problems.

                   ILLINOIS ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
                FIVE YEAR STRATEGY FOR WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT
                                   FY 79-83
Major Problems/Program Emphasis

         The  following  issues  have been  identified as  requiring  significant
attention  over  the  planning  period:    facilities  planning,  urban  stormwater
problems,  agricultural  nonpoint  sources,  lake water  quality  protection  and
restoration, and groundwater sources of pollution.

         The initial 208 planning program provided an examination of the urban
stormwater  problems  in1  eight  metropolitan areas.    Since  the controls
identified  to reduce pollution problems were too expensive, additional studies
are needed  to assess  the  effectiveness  of less expensive measures,  as well as
to examine  the problems in other urban areas.

         Soil erosion  and sedimentation were  identified  as  the major sources
of agricultural nonpoint  source  pollution in the initial  208 studies.   Other
problems  include  fertilizers  and  pesticides tied  to  soil erosion  and small
feedlots.

         Since Illinois  presently has little chemical or  physical  lake data,
208  efforts  will  include  a major  data collection  effort   so  that  adequate
problem  assessments  can  be made.    Groundwater  data  will  be compiled  and
computerized  so that problem assessments may be initiated.

Highlights/Great Lakes Concerns

         A comprehensive monitoring  program will be  initiated  in^ three
agricultural  watersheds  to assess the  impact  of  best management practices on
nonpoint source pollution.   The  study is budgeted  for the five year  period at
over  $300,000 per  year.

         Although  the  funding  accounts for  only  a small  fraction  of  the
proposed budget  (0.5%),  studies on atmospheric sources of pollution  and  their
effect  on  water quality  will be  important for  the Great  Lakes.

          The  program  is  comprehensive  and the  individual  studies  are  well
defined.   The  funding  levels  for  the  industrial  wastes/toxics programs  (one
 percent of  the  total budget)  and  the  air/water  quality studies  (0.5%)  seem
 inadequate when  compared to the  magnitude of the  programs designed  to clean up
 and  restore inland lakes (10%).

                                    FY 79-83
Major Problems/Program Emphasis

         The  state  has prioritized  20  problem  areas  in  the  five  year  plan.
Top  priority  is  given to municipal  point sources;  industrial  and semi-public
dischargers;  nonpoint  sources, especially  from  agriculture,  on-lot  disposal,
animal  feedlots,  combined  sewer overflow events,  and  urban stormwater runoff;
and waste sludge disposal.

         Water  Quality Management   plans  are  also  being  developed  for  the
nondesignated  208  areas  of the  state.   Work elements  for these  plans include
working  maps  of  the  planning areas, water  quality  assessment,   land use  and
population   forecasts,   nonpoint   source  assessment,  point   source  load
allocations,  and  residual waste control needs.

Highlights/Great Lakes Concerns

         No   specific  Great  Lakes   studies  are  proposed,  although  a  master
computer  data bank containing  all  Indiana Stream  Pollution Control Board and
Department  of Natural  Resources data will be compiled  for  future use.

         Ample funds  appear to be available to address pollution  problems  from
combined  sewer overflows.   This  will  be particularly  important  in the highly
urbanized  and. industrialized northwestern area  of the  state, which  for the
most  part  is  in  the Lake Michigan watershed.

                                   FY 79-83
Major Problems/Program Emphasis

         Four areas were identified as "weak" in  the  Michiana  Area Council of
Government's  (MACOG's)  existing water  quality  plan:   nonpoint  source
evaluation,  combined   sewer  overflow  problems,   groundwater  management,  and
assessment of water quality standards.  Projects have been designed to address
these areas and to be  completed  in  a  one  year  period.

         MACOG's   ongoing   plan implementation   program  will  address  the
following water quality problem areas:  municipal and semi-public point source
discharges;  urban stormwater  runoff;  animal  feedlots;  and  dredged  spoil
disposal.

Highlights/Great Lakes Concerns

         The  final  plan will  suggest  management  solutions to eliminate, or at
least  reduce,  the  impact  of  pollution problems in the  region.   However, the
strength  of the  overall management  scheme and  its  successful  implementation
will  be almost entirely dependent  upon  the  voluntary  cooperation of the 103
management  agencies designated by MACOG.   No  specific Great Lakes  studies  were
proposed.

                   MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES
                FIVE YEAR STRATEGY FOR WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT
                                   FY 80-84
Major Problems/Program Emphasis

         Potential pollution sources were  assigned  priorities  by considering:
type  of  pollutant involved  (potential  relative harm),  severity  of pollutant
problem, geographic  or  time  extent of problem,  and  whether  adequate controls
for  the pollution  source are  in  place.    Areas  of  greatest  concern  (high
priority)  include the  following:    toxic  and  hazardous materials disposal;
industrial  discharges  to  surface waters,  ground  waters,  and municipal
treatment  systems; impacts  from solid waste  disposal;  spills  to  land  and to
surface  and  ground  waters;  and fallout to  land and surface  waters  from air
emissions .

Highlights/Great Lakes Concerns

         Several  upcoming studies  are directly related to  the  Great  Lakes
environment.    A  Great  Lakes  Environmental  Contamination   Survey  will^ be
conducted  to  analyze  toxic  contaminants  in  Great Lakes  fish.   Biological
surveys  will  be  conducted to determine the impact of wastewater discharges on
surface  waters.   The impact  of  power plant discharges on water  quality will be
identified and quantified.   Selected  problem  areas will be  investigated for
toxic pollutants  in  lake  sediments.

         The  program developed by the Michigan DNR  is  both  well-defined and
comprehensive.    It  includes Great  Lakes',  inland  lakes', and Drivers'  water
quality concerns.   Summaries  of   regional planning  agencies'   five-year  plans
are included  in  the  document.

              DETAILED WORK PROGRAM FOR WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT
                                    FY 1980
Major Problems/Program Emphasis

         The  major  activities  developed  for  the  Minnesota   plan  correspond
closely to  the  functional sections of the  Division  of Water Quality.  Current
emphasis continues  to  be focused  on  problems resulting  from  point  sources of
pollution.   Nonpoint  sources  and  control  of  toxic substances will  be given
higher priority over the  next  five  years.   Increased emphasis  will be given to
assuming principal  responsibility  in  the  state for implementation of the Clean
Water Act of 1977.

Highlights/Great Lakes Concerns

         The  state's water  pollution control  efforts  through  the  NPDES  permit
program  will focus  on  control  of toxic  discharges.    Pretreatment  and Atoxic
control  programs  were  developed by the  state  during  FY 1979.   All municipal
sewage  treatment  facilities with  industrial  contributor problems are required
to begin developing  their own  pretreatment  programs.

         The  water  quality objectives  established  in  the Great  Lakes Water
Quality  Agreement  of   1978 for  Lake Superior waters  will  be  reviewed   and
evaluated.   If  the objectives  are more restrictive  than  the recommendations by
the  Water  Quality Standards Development  Workgroup,  they may be  recommended  for
adoption.

         A toxic  substances monitoring program will be established, with three
National  Fixed  Stations   (NFS)  to  be  located  in  the  Lake  Superior  basin.
Monthly samples  of  water  quality  parameters, yearly  biological  samples,  and
yearly  sediment and whole  fish samples  for  toxic  substances  analysis  will  be
collected.   Resulting  data  will be entered  in STORET.

          The program's  strength  is that it  focuses agency resources on a few
problem areas,  especially  those   related  to  point  sources   (permit  program,
compliance  and  enforcement,  and   facilities  construction).   Overall  program
expenditures are   presented  here,  but   there  is  no  breakdown  for  specific
 projects.
 1. Minnesota's Five Year Strategy will  be  contained  in the State Water Quality
    Management Plan  as  the  management framework.   The  Water Quality Management
    Plan was unavailable at the time of  this review.

            NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT  OF  ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION
                FIVE YEAR STRATEGY  FOR WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT
Major Problems/Program Emphasis

         EPA and the State of New York have evaluated activities  in  the^ state
which  cause  serious  water quality  problems,  and  have  agreed  that six  are
statewide priorities:   industrial  discharges,  municipal discharges,  combined
sewer  overflows,  urban  storm  runoff,  residual  wastes,  and  man-made
modifications to waterways.   Particular  attention will  be  focused on control
of toxic substances from the above  sources.

Highlights/Great Lakes Concerns

         No  specific Great Lakes studies  are mentioned  in  the summary report.
A  copy of the  detailed  five  year  strategy was  not available at the  time of
this review.

         Increased  emphasis will be placed on  a  more  holistic approach to the
municipal  waste   treatment   facility  planning  process.   This   includes
coordination,  during  the project  development phase,  with_environmental
protection  needs,   pretreatment and water  conservation strategies, and  use of
innovative and  alternative technologies.

          Control  of toxic substances  is emphasized for each  pollution source
addressed  in the  report.   Proposed  methods of  achieving  adequate  control of
toxics  include:    increased  funding  for research,  strict  permitting  and
monitoring  programs and  industrial pretreatment  of  influent.

          A   comprehensive  residuals   management   plan  has   been   prepared  for
 legislative  approval.   Provisions  will  be made  for the management of residual
waste  operations  by  local governments.   Funds  will  be   sought  to   construct
 processing   plants,  and  markets  will be  developed  for the  sale of  recovered
materials.

          Based  on  information in  the ^five year  agreement  summary,  New York's
 plan  appears  very comprehensive.    The  agreement  assumes that  the level of
 public  funding  available  to  New York  for water quality  management will not
 only continue,  but increase,  particularly to develop  and implement new program
 elements.

                                    FY 79-83
Major Problems/Program Emphasis

         Pollution  from  nonpoint  sources  was  identified  as  the  major water
quality concern, with  further  study  proposed  in the areas of urban  stormwater
problems, agricultural runoff  and  soil  erosion,  and groundwater  contamination
of  streams.   Citizens  have  expressed  a  strong  desire  for  inland lake water
quality protection  and  restoration  for  recreational  purposes.   Public
participation,  information  and  education is  emphasized.    Slow  facilities
planning,  costs  of  new  facilities,   and  the  unwillingness  of  communities  to
work together for solutions to sewage problems  are  major concerns.

Highlights/Great Lakes Concerns

         The Lake Michigan coastline  is to be studied  after a rain event using
infrared  imagery.    By analyzing water  temperature differentials revealed  by
the  imagery, the various  points of entry  of stormwaters  draining  into  the  lake
can  be  identified.   Field investigation will  identify  exact  locations,  size  of
conduits,  tributary  areas, and other  information needed  to quantify  the yearly
volumes contributed  at each point.

         Other   programs  will include  updated  inventories  of wastewater
systems;  demonstration   projects  utilizing  detention  basins,_ wetlands,  ^and
street  cleaning  to  alleviate  urban  stormwater  runoff;  and monitoring  toxics,
pesticide  use, and  heavy  metals.

         The study is well-organized,  with  needs  and  objectives  clearly
defined.   It appears to  be well-funded  for the five year period.

                                    FY 79-83
Major Problems/Program Emphasis

         The Northeast Michigan  Council  of Governments (NEMCOG)  assigned  high
regional  priority   to   three  pollutant  sources:    surface  runoff   from
agricultural and  other land  use activities;  discharges  from  septic  systems;
and  toxics  in  lake   and  stream  sediments.     Other  concerns  include  urban
stormwater  runoff,  discharges  from combined  sewer overflows,  and  pollutant
impacts  from solid waste 'disposal.

Highlights/Great Lakes Concerns

         There  are  no projects  specifically  concerned with  any of  the  Great
Lakes.

         Funding  seems inadequate  for  studies  which cover an  area  as  large as
the  NEMCOG region.   The Michigan  DNR  questions  the high priority rating given
to  toxic sediments  in this  region.  They  also  feel  several  activities  under
"Industrial  wastewater and commercial discharge  to groundwater" may duplicate
activities  carried out by  the  state.

                  NORTHEAST OHIO AREAWIDE COORDINATING AGENCY
                FIVE-YEAR  STRATEGY FOR WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT
                                   FY 79-83
Major Problems/Program Emphasis

         Small  (less  than 25,000  gallons/day)  package  plant  discharges  are
identified  as  significant sources  of  pollution  because they  are  often  not
properly  maintained  or  are   inoperative.    In  addition,  about   half  of  the
140,000  Northeast  Ohio  Areawide Coordinating  Agency (NOACA)  home  sewage
systems are  failing.   Other  significant  problems  include industrial hazardous
wastes and  pollution from rural runoff.  In nearly all cases, existing data is
inadequate  and the extent' and nature  of problems need to be  fully defined.   In
particular, urban stonnwater  runoff  problems  need  to  be identified.

         Based  on projected   expenditures,  major  emphasis  appears  to be  on
problem  identification,  evaluation  of  BMPs,  and development of  an abatement
program for  urban stormwater systems; development  and  maintenance of  a
comprehensive  water  quality  data  base;  public  participation  programs;
wastewater  treatment  facilities  planning;  and  finally,  residuals management,
especially municipal sludge and industrial hazardous  wastes.

Highlights/Great Lakes Concerns

         The  following  work  elements are of  special interest:    determination
of   air  quality effects of wastewater  treatment projects  and  related
development;  identification of airborne  pollutants in urban stormwater  runoff;
development of  small  (less  that  25,000 gallons/day)  package  plant  policies;
development of  a comprehensive water  quality  data base that includes Lake Erie
nearshore  monitoring and  siting  of  disposal  operations  for  industrial
hazardous  wastes.   The rural runoff control program has been coordinated with
the  Lake  Erie Wastewater Management Study.

          NOACA1s Five Year Strategy is well  defined and organized.  Each  work
element   is defined  by  issue/problem,  program  objectives,  scope  of work,
coordination with other programs,  federal/state policy  assumptions,  costs  and
year of  implementation.

will  also  be  analyzed in detail for  nonpoint  urban problems.   Monitoring  and
assessment  of  water  quality/quantity  conditions  will  be  continued   to  keep
waste load  allocations reflective of current conditions.

Highlights/Great Lakes Concerns

         The  only specific  Great  Lakes  study  involves  an  assessment  of  the
impact  of   the  Indiana  Harbor  Ship  Canal  (IHSC)  discharges  on Lake Michigan.
After  Lake Michigan,  the IHSC  is  the most important  waterway  in northwest
Indiana due   to the complex  of  industries  utilizing  this waterway  for
discharge.  Its  low flow makes it difficult  to maintain high water quality.

         The  Northwest Indiana  Regional  Planning  Commission  (NIRPC)   realizes
that  a  viable management/planning process  is a prerequisite to any  substantial
technical  progress.   As  a result,  they have focused their technical studies on
one  major  problem  area  (point  source  waste management)  and  have allocated
significant funding  (34%)  over the  five year period to the management/planning
process,  including public participation and  education.

        NORTHWEST MICHIGAN REGIONAL PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION
                FIVE-YEAR STRATEGY FOR WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT
                                   FY 79-83
Major Problems/Program Emphasis

         The  primary   focus  of   the  five-year  strategy  for  the  clean water
program  is  inland  lakes  management .    This  is  considered  to be  "one  of  the
region's top  water  quality concerns."    Also  addressed  are  groundwater
contamination and urban-suburban stormwater discharge.

         Groundwater contamination is a priority because 90% of  the  population
receives water  from groutldwater  aquifers.  Nitrate  contamination,  oil drilling
and  disposal  of oils  and solvents were  listed  as   significant contributors  to
groundwater contamination.

         Urban-suburban  stormwater  discharges  into  streams  and  lakes  is  a
source  of   sediments,  nutrients,  oxygen-consuming  materials  and  other
deleterious  elements.    These  discharges  pose problems  to  public beaches.
Grand Traverse Bay  has received  significant discharges  of bacteria  and
nutrients.

Highlights/Great Lakes Concerns

         The  strategy  inventories  a comprehensive  list of potential  nonpoint
sources  of  pollution,  unlike  most  plans  which   target  only  very ^specific
problems.    Included   are  extractive  site  runoff,  forestry  activities,   and
dredge/fill  activities,  in  addition  to the more  common urban  stormwater  and
agricultural  runoff  problems.   The  Great  Lakes   are  primarily  addressed  in
terms of land  use effects on Grand  Traverse Bay,  although  no  special  study of
the  Bay is  planned.   The lakes are  also  addressed through studies of vessel
discharge,  dredging, and  filling.    Toxic  substances  control,  wetlands
preservation and  energy  issues  are not highlighted.

         The proposed work  program is  well organized  and  includes  schedules
and  annual  costs for  each  element  throughout  the   five-year  period.   Although
the   anticipated  products  are  identified, they  are written in  general terms.
Quantified  objectives are  not  included  for  measuring overall  success  of  the
 strategy.

                                   FY 79-80
Major Problems/Program Emphasis

         The  main  problem  areas  to  be  addressed  include municipal  and
industrial point  source  needs  and  regulatory  programs;  nonpoint  source
control,  including  urban  and  industrial  stormwater  control; residual  waste
control needs; and  controlling  the  discharge  and  placement  of dredged or fill
material.    Land   use  inventories,  demographic  and  economic  data  and
projections, and  waste load allocations will  also be  developed.

Highlights/Great  Lakes Concerns

         A  work  element  of interest  in  the  municipal  point  source program
involves  investigating the benefits of water conservation and determining if a
water  conservation  program  could  forestall  or eliminate  the need  to expand
waste   treatment facilities.   Water  supply and  conservation  strategies
recommended by the Great Lakes Basin Commission's draft Great Lakes Basin Plan
will be considered for inclusion in Water Quality Management  basin  reports.

         A biological monitoring program to assess water quality conditions  is
being  developed.   Representative fish species  groups  will  be established and
water  quality  standards  will be  based  on these groupings on  a stream  segment-
by-segment basis.  No specific Great Lakes projects are mentioned.

          The  program  appears comprehensive  and well  defined, except  for the
lack  of any specific  toxics or hazardous  waste program.  However,  the  problem
area  may  be  addressed  under  another branch  of  the  Ohio  state  government.
Funding for  the  agricultural  component   of  the nonpoint  source  work  element
($76,000)  seems  inadequate  for the two year period.

                                   FY 79-83
Major Problems/Program Emphasis

         Pollution from solid waste disposal sites and agricultural lands were
identified  as  potentially  significant   problems.    The  location  of  specific
problem  areas  has  not yet been  determined.   Based on  program  strategies and
expenditures,  other  major areas  of  concern include  inland  lakes management,
sewage sludge disposal and stormwater  control.

Highlights/Great Lakes Co'ncerns

         Region  II  places  great  emphasis  on  residuals  management.     Three
elements are  specifically  involved:   on-site  and alternative wastewater
treatment  systems;   sewage  sludge  strategies;  and  solid waste needs and
alternatives.   Energy  issues  are  addressed under  the  solid  waste  project.
Wetlands  are  a  major concern  in the  environmental areas  strategy.     Water
supply/water  quality relationships will  be addressed  under  the  agricultural
study.   Irrigation systems  that  draw substantially from streams  (particularly
the  Grand  and  St.  Joseph Rivers) will be  identified and their  impact on  water
quality  evaluated.

         Point  sources  (except   for  alternatives  to conventional  facilities),
atmospheric  sources,  dredging,   and  specific  Great Lakes  problems  are not
addressed.

         Although  brief  and  low-cost,  the five-year strategy is  well defined.
The  Work  Program  for  FY  1979  is  particularly descriptive,  identifying
objectives,  procedures and results.

                    SOUTHCENTRAL MICHIGAN PLANNING COUNCIL
                FIVE YEAR STRATEGY FOR WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT
                                   FY 79-83
Major Problems/Program Emphasis

         Urban  stormwater  runoff  from  the  region's  three major  cities
(Kalamazoo, Battle Creek and Portage) is identified as a significant source of
pollution.  Runoff from the smaller cities might also be significant.  A study
of  urban  stormwater  controls  for  the  major  cities is  the  largest  single
expenditure of funds.

         The work  program also emphasizes  the  prevalence of  rural problems.
Alternatives  to  conventional  wastewater  treatment  facilities, management of
small  plants  and  studies  of inland  lakes  and  environmentally sensitive areas
were given prime consideration.

Highlights/Great Lakes Concerns

         As mentioned above, a major focus of the strategy is rural  issues and
problems,  including  identification of wetlands.   An urban stormwater control
project will be funded entirely by the  three  major cities being studied.  The
inland  lakes management program will continue  through 1983,  whereas the other
programs may only  last a year or two.

         Great Lakes  pollution from atmospheric sources,  energy  and dredging
issues  are not addressed.  Residuals and sludge management do not appear to be
a major  problem here, unlike the situation  in other  urbanized areas.

                                  FY 79-83
Major Problems/Program Emphasis

         The high priority  items  of the  Southeast  Michigan Council of
Governments'  (SEMCOG's)   strategy  are  municipal wastewater treatment  plants,
industrial  discharges,  combined   sewer  overflows,   toxic   substances
control/hazardous wastes management,  sludge and  residuals  disposal and
stormwater runoff. Major  emphasis   is   placed   on   toxic   substances
control/hazardous  wastes management  issues  and,  to  a  lesser degree,  residuals
disposal.

Highlights/Great Lakes Concerns

         Pollution from  street-salting  and identification  of sensitive  salting
areas are' both addressed by SEMCOG.  Other Great Lakes "208" agencies have not
given much attention to  this problem.  Pesticides, chloride and  dust  control
analyses  and wetlands protection  programs  are  also addressed.   There are no
proposed programs  specific to the Great Lakes.

                 WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT DETAILED WORK PROGRAM
                                    FY 79-81
Major Problems/Program Emphasis

         There  are  numerous  work  elements  proposed   under  the  Southeastern
Wisconsin  Regional  Planning  Commission's  (SEWRPC's)   work  program.    Point
source  and  nonpoint  source  pollution  are major  water quality  concerns.    A
coastal management  planning  program has  been established.   Urban  storm water
management is addressed under the regional flood control and drainage program.

Highlights/Great Lakes Concerns

         A  comprehensive  water  resources  investigation  of  direct  drainage
areas  to  Lake   Michigan   is  proposed  for  FY  1981.    Effects  of  runoff  on
receiving  estuaries, harbors,  and  Lake  Michigan  proper  (in regard  to water
quality,  pooling of  pollutants,  dredging,  and  recreation)  will  be analyzed.
Analytical  techniques  for water  resource  analysis in  estuaries,  harbors,  and
the nearshore zone will be applied as part of  the  planning process.

         The  Southeastern Wisconsin Regional  Planning  Commission  will  assist
local  units  of  government   within   the  coastal management  area   in  the
identification  of  geographic areas of  management  concern.   Utilizing  coastal
management  funds,  SEWRPC  will  also  aid  in identification of coastal management
projects  for  local  implementation.

          Coordination  will continue between the Great  Lakes  Basin  Commission
and   SEWRPC  to   assure  cognizance  of   technical  findings  in  water resources
problems  and  to avoid  redundancy  in data  collection.

          The  208 program  is  well defined, but  is  not  a high priority  program
for  SEWRPC.   This  is  evidenced by  the  1979 and 1980  funding levels which put
it  below transportation  planning,  community  assistance planning  and land use
planning.   Current  work programs list  only the  funding  levels through FY 1981.
A five  year  plan was not  available.

               SOUTHWESTERN MICHIGAN REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION
                FIVE YEAR STRATEGY FOR WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT
                                    FY 79-83
Major Problems/Program Emphasis

         Major  issues  and problems to  be addressed  over  the  next  five years
are:   inland  lakes water  quality;  agricultural  nonpoint  pollution;  overall
water  quality  management  coordination;  public  information  and  involvement;
groundwater  contamination  and  depletion;  urban  stormwater  runoff;  wetlands
protection;  construction site  runoff;  surface  drainage systems;  and  on-site
sewage disposal systems.

         Continuing  planning,  identification  of  nonpoint  sources,  and  inland
lakes will be addressed  in FY 1979.

Highlights/Great Lakes Concerns

         Inland  lakes  water  quality  is  addressed  in great  detail.   Wetlands
protection  is  included  in  the  strategy as well as  the  problem of groundwater
depletion  from  agricultural withdrawals.   The Great Lakes  are  not specifically
addressed  in any program.

         The  report  clearly identifies  issues/problems and  objectives for  each
issue/problem.   Within  the FY 79  work description  is  found  the methodology,
previous  related  work,  participants,  schedule, expected products  and  program
accomplishments  and costs/funding.   Unfortunately,  FY 80-83 work descriptions
are very general and do  not include  a breakdown of tasks by  year, or projected
costs by work element.

                TOLEDO METROPOLITAN AREA COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS
                FIVE YEAR STRATEGY FOR WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT
                                    FY 79-83
Major Problems/Program Emphasis

         The  Toledo Metropolitan  Area  Council  of  Governments  (TMACOG)  has
identified  agricultural  runoff as  the most  important water quality management
problem affecting the  region.   Urban  runoff and stormwater management are  also
crucial  problem areas.   Best  management   practices  have been  identified but
performance  criteria  and planning  guidelines must  be developed.   Control  of
toxics and  heavy metals  through industrial pretreatment has been  identified  as
having a  strong bearing 'on  sludge disposal  alternatives to  be generated  for
the region.

Highlights/Great Lakes Concerns

         One  of  the   major   program  objectives  is  the  establishment   of  an
effective  program  for  monitoring  the  improvement  of  water  quality  in  Lake
Erie,  its  estuaries,  and rivers  in the TMACOG  region.  Data  produced  by  the
Corps  of  Engineers, the  Toledo Pollution  Control  Agency,  USGS,  universities,
305(b) reports,  and other sources  will  be analyzed  to maintain  an  up-to-date
record of  water  quality.   An Annual Problem Assessment  summarizing  the  results
of  the monitoring effort  will  be published.

         A program  to control  the  discharge or  placement  of dredged material
from  the  Maumee Bay and  River is  proposed.   Some  of the  objectives are:   to
ensure containment  of  polluted sediment  within a mass  of dredged  materials;  to
minimize  the  impairment  of  water circulation;  to  protect  existing wildlife
habitat;  and to reduce  shore erosion by  placement of  dredge  sites to  absorb
impact of  wave  energy.

         The objectives  and  work elements  of  the  program are well  defined and
well  organized.   The  strategy appears workable, although no  dollar  figures are
given for  the work  elements.

                                   FY 79-83
Major Problems/Program Emphasis

         Common  pollutant  sources  identified  in  the  region  include  urban
stormwater  discharges,  combined sewer overflows,  and  open storm  drains.
Agricultural  runoff and  land/subsurface  disposal of  solid  wastes  are
potentially  the most significant nonpoint sources of  pollution.  In addition,
certain  lakes  have  been overenriched  and  groundwater  problems  may  be
significant.

         Work programs are listed by  priority  for  funding.   High priority is
given  to  near-term  tasks  geared  toward  setting  up  the  process  for
implementation,  revising  the  plan,  and  incorporating water  quality  policies
into  other  agencies'  programs.    Greatest  technical  expenditures  will be for
the water quality modeling study,  development of  recommendations  for abatement
of groundwater pollution,  the  urban  area wastewater  sludge disposal  study, and
water quality sampling.

Highlights/Great Lakes Concerns

         The  program places much  emphasis  on water  quality studies  —
monitoring,   sampling, and  modeling.   The  Great Lakes,  energy,  wetlands and
dredging are not specifically  addressed.

                                   FY 79-83
Major Problems/Program Emphasis

         Significant problem  areas  include:   insufficient data  on  water
quality  problems,  cumulative  effects  of three wastewater  treatment  plants  in
the  Grand  Rapids  metro  area,  accumulation  of  heavy  metals in  the  bottom
sediments  of  the Grand  River  from  industrial  (primarily metal  plating)
discharges,  documented  on-site   waste  disposal   systems  problems,   erosion/
sedimentation,  unknown but potentially significant pollution from closed dumps
and  potential  overenrichment of  inland  lakes.   The  five year  strategy
emphasizes the  resolution of  these major  problems.

Highlights/Great Lakes Concerns

         A metal  plating  wastes  study  and  pilot studies  of   on-site  waste
disposal and closed dumps are projects with regionwide application.  The Great
Lakes, atmospheric sources, energy,  wetlands and dredging are not  specifically
addressed.

         The plan  includes a detailed  section on  projects  for FY 79-80 but is
less  specific  for FY  81-83.   Program success  will be  somewhat  difficult  to
assess because the objectives are  not  written  in  quantifiable  terms.

                                   FY 79-83
Major Problems/Program Emphasijs

         The major sources of  pollution  identified  were  municipal discharges,
streambank  erosion  and  sedimentation,  solid  waste  disposal,  and  iron  and
copper  mining.    Preservation  of  inland   lake  water  quality  is  strongly
emphasized, along  with development  of  baseline  water  quality data for surface
and  groundwater  resources.    Because  the region  is  largely  rural  and
undeveloped, program  goals are  based  upon preservation  of  high quality waters
and education of local governments  in  program implementation.

Highlights/Great Lakes Concerns

         Coordination with other state and federal programs  and agencies (such
as "208" planning  agencies and  the  Great Lakes  Basin Commission)  is encouraged
in the agency's  plan.  Although  the Great Lakes are not  specifically  addressed
in the work elements, they are  identified as  an issue.

         Because   of  the  region's  character,  much  emphasis  is  placed   on
streambank  erosion and sedimentation  from  forested  areas, and pollution from
mining operations.

         Atmospheric  sources  of  pollution, urban  runoff,  toxics, energy,
wetlands and dredging issues  are not  included in  the  strategy.

         The work  program  strategy is brief and not very  well defined.  Tasks
are  listed  in order of  priority.   The years  of  implementation of  specific
tasks  are  included,  however  outputs are  described in  general terms.   Costs  are
not  included,  except  for  the  projected total of $50,000  per  year.

                                  FY 1979-1983
Major Problems/Program Emphasis

         The West Michigan  Shoreline  Regional Development  Commission  (WMSRDC)
has  identified  the  following  as  high  priority  issues  in  the  region:
stonnwater  runoff  to  surface  waters,   toxic  pollutants  in  lake  and  stream
sediments,  industrial  discharges, and  agricultural  practices  contributing  to
nonpoint source pollution.

Highlights/Great Lakes Concerns

         No  studies  specific  to the  Great  Lakes  are mentioned.  The  Michigan
Department  of  Natural  Resources  (MDNR),  in reviewing the  five year  strategy,
noted  that  the  proposed  lake  surveys  may duplicate  surveys  to  be  conducted  by
the  state  under  Section  314  of the Clean Water Act.   Regional activity related
to those  surveys  must  be coordinated with  the Land  Resource Programs  Division
of MDNR in  order  to  receive consideration for Section 208 funding.

                   WISCONSIN DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL  RESOURCES
                FIVE YEAR STRATEGY FOR WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT
                                    FY 80-84
Major Problems/Program Emphasis

         The Wisconsin  Department  of Natural  Resources  (WDNR) has  identified
five  priority  issues  for  FY  1980:   water  quality standards  and waste  load
allocations,  residuals   from treatment  plants,  groundwater  protection,
hazardous waste siting legislation, and the State Implementation Plan.

         Water Quality Standards:   Wisconsin  is  moving toward  a  comprehensive
water  quality  management' plan which will  provide  for maintenance of  fish  and
aquatic  life wherever  attainable  by  1983.    The  key to  this  effort  is  the
development  of suitable water  quality  standards.   If  sufficient EPA  funding is
provided,  studies  will be conducted  to  determine how  the  standards might  be
changed  to better account  for the  effects  of nonpoint sources  of  pollution,
and  to  determine  the  best  methods for  dealing  with  nutrients  (especially
phosphorus)  that are causing serious eutrophication problems.

         Residuals:   WDNR will develop  a management  strategy  for disposal  of
sludge  frompublicly-owned  treatment  works,  including  recycling and/or
disposal.  Monitoring of toxic substances will be included in the strategy.

         Groundwater:    WDNR  will  develop  programs  for  the  protection  of
groundwater,  including evaluation of  the conditions  of  the   resource.   Plans
will  be developed to  deal with identified  problems.   A groundwater  study is
currently  underway as  part of  the  208 program.

         Hazardous Waste Siting Legislation:     WDNR   will   draft  legislation
which  will provide  the state with the ability to  locate  and  obtain acceptable
hazardous  waste  sites.   The legislation will also give  the  state the ability
to  develop and operate  the  site or to contract for those services.

         SIP Revisions:    The Clean  Air  Act  Amendments  of  1977 require  all
states  tosubmitrevised  State  Implementation  Plans  (SIPs)  to  deal  more
effectively  with atmospheric  sources  of  pollution.   WDNR will  establish the
rules, commitments,  and  schedules  required  in  the SIP process.

Highlights/Great Lakes.Concerns

         Three  subprograms  have  been designed  to develop  and  implement  the
 above  programs  over  the  five  year  period:    water  quality management,
wastewater management,  and water  supply.

         The Water  Quality Management  subprogram includes  the  determination
 and evaluation  of  water  quality  problems  across  Wisconsin.   Priorities for
 this  subprogram  include  water  quality  standards  and  the  development  of  a
 nonpoint  source  pollution abatement program.  This subprogram  does not include
 the efforts of the  regional agencies (SEWRPC  and FVWQPA).
                                        100

-------
         The  Wastewater Management  subprogram  includes  assisting,  directing,
and  regulating  municipal  and  industrial  point  source   dischargers.    This
involves  industrial  and  municipal  wastewater  treatment  plant  operation,
wastewater collection,  and  sludge  disposal.   The subprogram focuses  on permit
issuance,  enforcement,  treatment  facility  upgrading,  and  construction
programs.   A  wastewater  pretreatment  program will be  developed  in FY 1980  to
control  industrial  and large  commercial  firms'  wastewater  discharge  to
municipal treatment  plants.

         The Water  Supply  subprogram  involves  assisting,  directing, and
regulating public and  private water  systems.   This  includes sanitary surveys
and  inspections of  both  community  and non-community  water systems,  technical
assistance, and review  of  plans  for new facilities.

                              OUTLOOK FOR FUNDING
          In the  summer  of  1979,  the  U.S.  Environmental  Protection^  Agency
 announced  its   intention   to  realign  its  priorities  and  program  direction
 regarding Section 208 Water Quality  Management.   It established  four  priority
 problem  areas  to be  addressed  in  FY  80-84:    urban  storm _runoff;  nonpoint
 sources;   groundwater  quality;  and   waste  treatment  facilities.    Generally,
 highest  funding  priority will  be  assigned to  programs  addressing urban
 stormwater runoff, agricultural  runoff  and groundwater  protection.^   Programs
 involving  nonpoint   source   pollution   from  construction,   mining,   or
 silvicultural  activities will  generally receive  secondary priority.   Support
 will  also be  available  for  local  priorities  differing  from  national  208
 funding  priorities  if  th'ey are  (1)  implementation  oriented,  (2) directed  at
 nonpoint  sources, and (3)  expected to have a major impact on water quality.

          Emphasis will be on  filling gaps  in  areawide water quality management
 plans during FY  80-83.   EPA will provide  funding  and technical  assistance  for
 prototype  problem-solving  projects.   Planning  for  point  sources and  general
.planning  activities  (i.e.,  population  projections,  A-95 review) are  not
 eligible   for  208 funds  after FY  79.    Local and  state  governments ^ will  be
 responsible for picking up costs if  they wish  certain projects  to continue.

          EPA  anticipates   completion of  the  208  grant  program  by  FY 83  if
 Congress  appropriates  full  funding  for  FY 81, 82 and 83.   If  the program does
 not  receive  adequate funding, 208 grants would  follow  priorities set  by  the
 agency in the  Zero  Base  Budget  process.   EPA would  then attempt  to extend
 completion past FY 83, if necessary,  to counter the lover  funding.

           If  the  208  grant   program is  completed  by  FY  83,  EPA  will  then
 recommend  a restructured  program  focusing on  implementation of nonpoint source
 controls.   The  Water Quality Management  Program  will continue with 106 grants
 and,  presumably,  state and local  funds  supporting problem-solving activities.

           As a  result  of  these recent changes, some of the programs outlined in
 both  the five-year strategies  and work  programs  will no longer be eligible  for
 208 funding.   Starting in 1980,  most  grants  will go to specific demonstration
 projects concerning  abatement  of  nonpoint source pollution rather than  general
 planning activities  or areawide surveys and studies.

           Additionally,. competition   for 208 funds  will  be  national  instead of
 regional.   This  will  make it  especially difficult  to  finance  projects which
 differ  from the  national  208 funding  priorities.   Federal monies  are still
 available under  other sections  of  PL   92-500 and  a variety of other^ programs.
 However, unless  state and local  governments  choose  to  provide   funding, EPA's
 new  program will likely  result  in the  termination of  a  number  of  regional
 water quality management  programs.
