                        A.  H.  Cratty
          MR. STEIN:  Are there any comments or questions?




          MR. MAYO:  I have a couple of questions,  Mr.
Chairman.
          In looking at the figures in the Exhibits 1 and 2,
it is certainly apparent that the principal source of sedi-




ments is from sheet erosion.  And certainly the single




largest source in the drainage basin context is contributed
  V



from the Maumee River.




          MR. TERPSTRA:  Correct, Mr. Mayo.




          MR. MAYO:  I wonder if you could make some obser-




vation for us about the significance of current tillage




practices in the Maumee or other tributary drainage basins




to the amounts of sediment that are showing up in the form




of sheet erosion?




          MR. TERPSTRA:  Increased emphasis on the practice




of minimum tillage, zero tillage -- in other words, not




plowing, harrowing the soil -- will tend to decrease the




sheet erosion rates as will such practices as strip cropping.




          MR. MAYO:  Would you venture the observation that




a major change in tillage practices in the Maumee River




Basin would significantly reduce sediment erosion?




          MR. TERPSTRA:  Yes, I feel this is correct, sir.




          MR. MAYO:  Has Agriculture either through SCS or the




ASCS  program focused on this tillage practice problem in

-------
                                                       318
                        A.  H.  Cratty
the Maumee, for instance?




          MR. TERPSTRA:  Yes, sir.   As the paper indicated,




since there is a voluntary program,  all our efforts  are




directed in this direction.  We seem to be gaining ground.




At times, it does seem like we have  got a long way  to go.




          MR. STEIN:  Mr. Eagle.




          MR. EAGLE:  I would like to elaborate on that a




little further.  I don't think you brought out this  point.




One of the reasons for the higher contribution in the Maumee




is because about 99.9 percent of the land is under cultiva-




tion, whereas this is not true in the other basins.   And I




don't think the practices are any worse or any better probably




than any other basin, but it is the  fact that such a high




percentage of this land is under cultivation.




          MR. TERPSTRA:  A very good point.




          MR. MAYO:  The point of my inquiry, Mr. Eagle, was




not to be critical unnecessarily, but rather to bring out




the point that the major part of the sediment load for Lake




Erie apparently is the direct consequence of current tillage




practices in the Maumee River Basin.  And these are  prac-




tices that certainly are capable of being changed.




          MR. EAGLE:  That's right.




          MR. MAYO:  I don't know offhand what relationship




tilling practices may have to productivity or agricultural

income.  But on the surface, at least, certainly it warrants

taking a very good look at how we might be able to effect a

significant level of improvement, both in the Maumee River


and in Lake Erie proper, by a major change in tillage prac-


tices in'the Maumee River Basin.

          MR. EAGLE:  Yes.  And I would like to elaborate


on that a little bit.  And I would like to be critical


even though you didn't want to be*

          I think this is a very excellent report.  And at


least the agricultural people have recognized this problem

and are attempting to do something about it.  But yet it is

still a voluntary program.  And I think that probably so far


as deterioration of Lake Erie is concerned, the sediment


runoff contributions are equally as important, if maybe not
                                           i
more important, than the man-made contributions.  And I


think it is high time, at least, we make recommendations

that some kind of a mandatory program be exercised in this
area.
          And the know-how is available to cut down these

sediment contributions very, very materially.   And it seems

to me that agriculture has to get on the same  bandwagon as we

have with municipalities and industries that are being forced

to reduce these wastes — these contributions.  And I think

that this group certainly should go on record  as favoring

-------
                                                       320
                        A.  H.  Cratty
some kind of Federal legislation,  State legislation,  and so




on down the line, to require certain things to be done.
          MR. MAYO:  As an additional comment,  Mr.  Eagle,




certainly one of the approaches that may be open for explora-




tion would recognize that while Agriculture does not have




any regulatory authority with regard to tillage practices  and




may never have such an authority as far as Federal  legisla-




tion is concerned, but if we can once recognize that a




particular practice is detrimental to a particular  element




of the environment, certainly it would not be unreasonable




to look at the question of eligibility for the Department of




Agriculture on the farm assistance programs if, on the one




hand/ the farmer is participating in the practice that is




resulting in a significant sediment problem.




          So that while it may not be practical to  try to




regulate the tillage practice directly, it may be appropriate




to explore the question of eligibility for other assistance




programs if undesirable tillage practices are being employed.




          MR. EAGLE:  I believe those are available now.




I believe those are already available under the Soil Con-




servation Service for the most part.




          MR. MAYO:  I know that the assistance is  available,




but if we are concerned about sediment as a consequence of




deep tillage practices is an undesirable activity,  maybe it

-------
                                                       321
                        A. H.  Cratty
is not inappropriate to suggest that a farmer who is engaging




in tillage practices that result in increased sediment run-




off should not be eligible for certain kinds of assistance
programs
          MR. STEIN:  I would like to point out, oner we do
have regulatory authority right in the Federal Water Pollu-




tion Control Act.  Various wastes were attempted to be




exempted in the legislative proposals before the Congress.




One of them, Mr. Eagle, you may recall, was radioactive




waste.  But we proceeded against radioactive material.  Another




was agricultural wastes.  Both of these exemptions were speci-




fically rejected by the Congress.




          Now, right in Mr. Terpstra's paper, he talks about




particular pollution in certain areas which are apt to con-




tain more pollutants than others such as barnyards, feedlots,




milkrooms, and other farm areas.  I think we have announced




that very shortly we will hold a hearing on the first 180-




day notice issued against a feedlot.    So we are proceeding




against them.




          Now, I know possibly, Mr. Terpstra, I am talking




to the convertant here when I talk to you.  And I think you




have done a magnificent job because we have been trying to




get something like this from the Department of Agriculture




for years.  And you and your group and the Soil Conservation

-------
                                                       322
                       A.  H.  Cratty
Service need to be commended.   This is the first breakthrough

we have had.  However, I think, sir, this is just the begin-

ning.  We have attempted again and again — and I think you

have indicated it -- to try to get the amount of fertilizer
       ^
put on the land from a feedlot, a barnyard, a milkroom or

other farm areas where runoff  constitutes an actual or

potential pollution hazard, to determine the phosphate

runoff, the insecticides and pesticides, so we would look

at them in the same way.  When you ask, "Why don't you look

for toxic substances" and not  know where they are, you should

know what goes in so you know  what to look for.  If we can't

get these specifics laid out,  we are going to be in a bad
spot.
          Now, I think our Assistant Secretary,  Secretary
Klein, has said he figures with all the slippage and the

problems you might see here,  we are getting industrial

cooperation.  We are on our way with programs to clean up

industry.  That's two-thirds of the problem.   The one-third
we are really deficient in going after is from the agricul-

tural wastes that are running off the lands.

          Now, this is what I would like to do, just to go

back to your table; for example, in Exhibit 1, you talk in

terms of sheet runoff, streambank runoff and urban runoff.

The question here is:  Is there a difference in the

-------
                                                       323
                       A.  H.  Cratty
concentration or the pollutants contained,  for example,


in sheet runoff or urban runoff?  I don't know what the


answer to this question is, really.  I am just asking the
question.
          We have this large figure on sediments deposited
in the Maumee River Basin.  I know they are solids.   But


the figure is over one million.   Then when you go to an


urban source in the Rouge River area or the Tonawanda


complex, we get much lower figures — 22,000, 17,000 — as


compared with these million figures.  I am not sure that the


concentration of pollutants may be such that these 22,000


may be significant figures.


          I think we are all looking for the same thing.


This is what we are looking for.  I think Mr. Eagle made a


very perceptive remark when he contended that the Maumee


River had gotten the prize here because that was the place


that was cultivated.  But looking down your list, in talking
                                      '-
                                                   L
about urban runoffs, you come up with the conclusion that


the high ones are the Rouge River, the Huron River,  the


Maumee River, the Black Rocky complex, Cuyahoga, Erie


Chattanooga and the Tonawanda.  This is expected, because


this is where we have the centers of urban activity.


          When we talk about the problem, I don't think we


should point our finger just at the farmer, because it may

-------
                                                       324
                       A.  H.  Cratty
be from a regulatory,  management point of view much easier




to control this urban runoff than the thousands of acres




you have to control to get the sheet runoff*   And this,  again,




is what we don't know — that your urban runoff or the




streambank runoff may contain different characteristics  or




there may be certain areas in the river basin where you




have large concentrations.  And if we clean those up,  you




would really hit pay dirt.




          May I just go off this and give you another  example?




One of our big problems in the Colorado River Basin is




chlorides or salts, as you might know, coming into the Colo-




rado.  We have several sources in the Colorado.  But one of
                                            *



these sources is the natural salt springs.  We have identified




about 20 of them.  And we figure — and I don't want to  be




held to this — for about $5 million you can clean up  those




salt springs, picking selected spots in that tremendous




Colorado Basin, which you know is 1400 miles of mainstream




and 6 tributaries and 7 States.  And if you go into 20




specific places and you just concentrate on those and  you




plug those salt springs and salt wells, you will have




reduced that salt tremendously.




          Now, what I am suggesting and asking again —  and




again taking your work — if we could go back to the

-------
                                                       325
                       A. H. Cratty
Department of Agriculture and get those places where we have




a high incidence of pollution and concentrate on these first.




Again, let me give you one more example.   This is about the




experience we went through with the Corps of Engineers




with the disposal of the dredgings.  I think we and the Corps




agreed that the ones that had top priority were the real




polluted dredgings that had to be handled first.




          Now, what we are trying to do and we haven't been




able to do and I ask you — is it at all  possible for the




Department of Agriculture to devote its attention to giving




us its analysis of where the real polluted sediment is coming




from and the places that really contain the pollutants, so we




and you and the States can get together and set up a system




of priorities to get at this program?  I  really ask you that




urgently.  The reason I am asking you that is that I




think you have demonstrated you have made a magnificent




start here.  I hope you continue working  with us on this.




          MR. SEEBALD:  Mr. Stein, I would assume that your




definition of pollution includes those high in nutrients
also.
          MR. STEIN:  Yes.




          MR. SEEBALD:  This is an important factor that
ordinarily escapes.

-------
                                                       326
                        A.  H.  Cratty
          MR. STEIN:  That's right%   I am sorry.   Maybe I




slipped over that.  I thought I said it first.   We were




trying to get where they put the fertilizer down;  get the
nutrients.
          I said when I talked earlier about this during
the noon break that these aren't toxic materials compared




to the insecticides and pesticides.   Nitrogen and phosphorus




may be benign, but its effect on the lake may be horrible




in any event.  So we would want both the content of the




fertilizers and the content of the insecticides, pesticides,




and other toxic materials.  I believe the Department of
                   L



Agriculture — and I won't quarrel with your definition now




— calls these in your professional jargon'Economic poisons,"




but that is what we are interested in — what they are and




where they are applied and what about them.




          MR. EAGLE:  Mr. Chairman, I would like to make an




observation.  We have been talking about this for 5 years




now.  And to my recollection — I may be wrong about this —




we never had a high official in the U. S. Department of




Agriculture to come here and talk to us and make any com-




mitment with regard to what their program is on this.  And




I think it is high time that we have such an official from




the Department of Agriculture to come here and outline the




Federal program.

                        A.  H.  Cratty
          MR. STEIN:  Sir, give me the privilege of going
off the record.
          (Discussion off the record.)




          MR. STEIN:  Let's go back on the record.




          Any other comments or questions?




          MR. EAGLE:  I was misled by his title here.   He
has both titles.




          MR. STEIN:  Thank you very much.




          MR. MAYO:  Mr. Chairman/ the only remaining




Federal presentation is the mercury report which in keep-




ing with your opening remarks you suggested be held for




the closing statement.  We would just defer making that




report until later in the conference program.




          MR. STEIN:  I think we should give the States




an opportunity to answer the Federal reports.   And if we




get off on this mercury program, it may be lost.




          Let's take a 10-minute recess.  And when we




return, Michigan will make its presentation.




          (Whereupon, a recess was taken.)




          MR. STEIN:  Let's reconvene.




          Mr. Mayo, do you have anything to say before we




conclude the Federal Government presentation?




          MR. MAYO:  We have some representatives here from




the Corps of Engineers who, while they don't have a specific

proceed with the conference,

Purely, will you take over?




          MR. PURDY:  Thank you/ Mr. Chairman.




          Mr. Chairman, I would like to acknowledge being




joined here by Mr. Vogt who is chairman of the Water




Resources Conunission and also director of the Division of

PURPOSE

     At the reconvened conferences in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1966; in
Buffalo, New York in 1967; and again in Cleveland in 1968 and 1969, the
Michigan Water Resources Commission reviewed the pollution control
program that had been developed to abate pollution and enhance the Michigan
waters of Lake Erie and its tributaries.  The reports outlined how Michigan,
in 1965, had established water quality goals for the Detroit River and
Michigan waters of Lake Erie and how a voluntary pollution abatement
program had been formed with the cooperation of industries and munic-
ipalities.   The reports further set down the effluent restrictions and
treatment facility construction time schedules required to achieve the
desired water quality goals.  Finally, the reports described the
water quality, surveillance and effluent monitoring programs that have
been established by the Michigan Water Resources Commission.

    This report -w4-H reviews the compliance status of the previously
approved abatement  programs and time schedules and wH-}-,present8
information on  recent  pollution control activities affecting water quality
in Michigan's waters of Lake Erie.

UNDER
INDUSTRIAL AND MUNICIPAL COMPLIANCE STATUS

     Appendix A  lists the current performance status of the industrial
plants and municipal units which have stipulations with the Michigan Water
Resources Commission to control their waste discharges to the Detroit River
and  Lake Erie,

     Appendix B  lists the Michigan industries and municipalities which
have discharges  in Michigan's portion of the Lake Erie-Detroit River Basin
and  indicates those which have nutrient discharges that affect Lake Erie
water quality.   There are essentially no industries which presently discharge
nutrients to the Detroit River or Lake Erie without prior treatment or
partial removal.  In accordance with Michigan's approved interstate standards
plan of implementation, all affected units of government will be expected to
accomplish phosphorus removal by June 1, 1977 at the latest.  Earlier
compliance dates are being required of most of these governmental units.
WATER QUALITY STANDARDS

     Michigan has adopted water quality standards and designated uses for all
of its intrastate waters and interstate waters.  The Federal government has
approved these standards with the exception of temperature standards for
fish, wildlife and other aquatic life for interstate waters.  Revised
thermal standards were the subject of a public hearing held on March 19, 1970.

IN REGARD TO THE
CONSTRUCTION GRANT PROGRAM

     In June 1969, the Michigan State Legislature passed legislation to im-
plement the $285 million bond program for construction of municipal wastewater
treatment plants.  The bond money will enable communities to receive grants
up to 55 percent of the cost of construction of treatment works and intercepting
sewers.  This is divided into a 25 percent outright state grant, a 25 percent
state advance of anticipated future Federal funds and an expected 5 percent
Federal grant.  An additional $50 million bond issue was approved by Michigan
voters for construction of col
ecting sewers, and implementing legislation was
passed in July 1969.  Michigan has recognized its commitment by assisting its
communities in financing needed treatment facilities and by advancing state
bond moneys for anticipated Federal funds.  It is requiring local units to
provide the remaining funds with the assurance that their advanced share will
be reimbursed by future Federal moneys before the state receives reimbursement,

     A priority list of projects has been developed and has been approved by
the Commission and the Legislature.  At each monthly meeting of the Commission
a report is presented which lists changes in the status of qrant offers
and developments since the previous month's meeting and summarizes all action
to date.  The report submitted at the May 1970 meeting is included in Appendix C

     The water quality surveillance program established by Michigan was
described in detail  to the conferees at Buffalo in 1967.   The sampling and
testing of the Detroit River and Lake Erie at 72  locations is continuing  and
the data obtained from 1966-1969 is available in  a report published in
January 1970 entitled, "Water Quality Surveillance Program, Detroit River-
Lake Erie."  Similar data for the 88 municipal  and industrial waste discharges
along the Detroit, Rouge, Huron and Raisin rivers will  be published in June
1970.  This report will  include all 1969 data and a summary of  the  1968 data.

     The water quality monitoring of Great Lakes  tributary streams  was
initiated by the Water Resources Commission in May 1955 to obtain background
radioactivity information.  The monitoring program has  since been expanded
to its present level of 46 stations located throughout  the state.  In 1969
eight of these stations were located in Detroit River,  Lake Erie or their
tributaries.  The results of the 1969 sampling of these stations are presented
in Appendix D.

     Beginning in 1963 the monitoring program was expanded to obtain a variety
of background data on the quality of water flowing into the Great Lakes
and connecting waters via the principal watersheds in Michigan's Lower Peninsula.
The specific objectives of the program are to determine long-term trends  in  the
chemical, physical and bacteriological  characteristics  of these tributaries.
The monitoring stations are located as close  as  possible to the mouths of
the drainage basins and below all known sources of waste.  Three such stations
are tributary to the Detroit River or Lake Erie.   A summary of  results of
analyses of the samples collected at these stations and from the Ecorse  River
in 1969 are presented in Appendix E.

     Beginning in 1967 the Commission inaugurated a program of  sampling  of
raw water from the Gre£t Lakes.  Samples are collected  annually from water
treatment plant intakes.  The intent of the program is  to establish existing
water quality and to indicate long-term changes in water quality.  Four  intakes
are located in the Detroit River or Lake Erie.  The results of  analyses  of  the
samples collected at these stations in 1969 are presented in Appendix F.

     In addition to the program conducted by the Water Resources Commission,
the Michigan Department of Public Health requires that each water treatment
plant submit monthly operating reports which contain results of physical, chemical
and bacteriological tests which are made on the raw water supply.  The  two
programs supplement each  other and furnish fairly complete documentation of
the water quality at water intakes.

     The Michigan Water Resources Commission conducts an annual  summer
sampling program of Michigan's Great Lakes coastline surface waters.   The
program, initiated in 1965, is designed to provide bacteriological  data during
the summer recreation and vacation season of June to September.  Twenty-two
of these sampling points are located on Lake Erie or the Detroit River,
Appendix G presents a summary of the 1969 data collected at these stations.

     In conjunction with the existing program for monitoring the bacterial  quality,
a program was started in 1969 to collect qualitative and quantitative algal  data
from the coastline surface waters during the summer recreation season.   Chemical
and physical analyses of water samples were collected concurrently with the
algal samples.  The data that was collected in 1969 at the eight stations
located on Lake Erie or the Detroit River is presented in Appendix H.

     Part of Michigan's plan of implementation for protection of interstate
waters was to establish a long-range surveillance program on these waters.
In addition to the previously mentioned annual sampling of water intakes, the
interstate river basins are sampled near Michigan's borders and  above and below
possible problem areas.  These locations are sampled twice a year,  once during
a high flow period and once during a low flow period.  Two such  basins  are
tributary to Lake Erie, the Maurnee River basin and the tributaries  to North
Maumee Bay*  The results of analyses of the samples collected in these  two basins
in 1969 are presented in Appendix I.

     In 1969 a comprehensive survey of the water quality in the  Ecorse River,
a tributary of the Detroit River, was conducted by the staff of the Commission.
The results of this survey and a concurrent survey by the Michigan Department
of Public Health have been published in August 1969 in a report entitled
"Ecorse River Water Quality Study, May-July 1969".  Further investigations
are in progress to correct problems in this basin.
     The Michigan Water Resources Commission has began a data storage and
retrieval system which employs the Federal Water Quality Administration's
STORET system cf data handling.  The data gathered in the regular monitoring
and surveillance programs described in the preceding  paragraphs have been,
or soon will be placed in STORET.  In addition to STORET, Michigan is developing
a system to provide monthly control of industrial and municipal performance
activities with file maintenance provided through the use of special
computer programs.

THERMAL MONITORING
     Staff of the Commission have conducted investigations of major sources
of thermal inputs to the Great Lakes in the last two years, including most
of the power plants that discharge to Lake Erie or the Detroit River.  Additional
surveys and resurveys will be conducted in the summer of 1970,  The data will
be made available in published form.

     Industries with significant thermal  discharges are being required
(in new Orders of Determination) to conduct pre and post operative surveys
in the vicinity of their discharges.  Several  of the power plants  that
discharge  to Lake Erie or the Detroit River have employed technical  staff
or have engaged consultants to conduct investigations.

WITH REGARD TO
PESTICIDE MONITORING

     A Federal Water Pollution  Control Administration  (now Federal Water
Quality Administration) grant for $40,000 was awarded  to the Water Resources
Commission on October 1, 1969 for pesticide monitoring of the Michigan portion
of the Great Lakes basin.  Staff has been hired and the laboratory enlarged
and improved to implement this  program.

     In the Lake Erie-Detroit River basin, monthly water and sediment samples will
be collected at four locations, biological monitoring with clams will be
conducted approximately four times  annually at these locations and water samnles
will be  collected annually from two water intakes.

REGARDING
DUCK MORTALITY STUDIES

     Continued interest in  preventing waterfowl  mortalities  in  the Detroit River
area dictated the continuation  of studies initiated in the winter of  1967-68.
Random samples of ducks were again  collected in two general areas on  the
Detroit River during the winter months of 1968-69.

     Autopsies were performed and feathers were analyzed for the presence of
foreign oil accumulations.  It  is hoped  that this  program will  provide
further insight to the wintering problems of these waterfowl and give further
direction in preventing winter  mortalities in this area.

REGARDING
CONTROL OF POLLUTION FROM WATERCRAFT

     As previously reported, the Michigan Water Resources Comnission  in
January 1968 adopted rules and  regulations to control  pollution from  marine
toilets on watercraft.  The rules do not allow the macerator-chlorinator and
do authorize the use of holding tanks  or incinerators.  The  rules became
effective January 1, 1970.  Private marina operators are  installing pump-out
stations and treatment facilities where  needed and the Michigan Waterways
Commission has accelerated its  program to provide  similar facilities  at
state harbors of refuge on the  Great Lakes.

 IN THE MATTER OF
MANDATORY CERTIFICATION OF INDUSTRIAL  TREATMENT PLANT  OPERATORS

     Act 209, Public Acts of 1968,  requires that  all industrial or commercial
establishments discharging liquid wastes into the  waters of  the state shall
have waste treatment facilities under  the specific supervision of persons who
have been certified by the Water Resources Commission  as  properly qualified  to
operate the facilities.   It further requires that  monthly operating reports
shall be filed with the Commission  showing the effectiveness of the treatment

facility operation and the quantity of the wastes discharged.   The Commission
has set January 1* 1971 as the date the Act becomes effective.    The first
examination of operators will  be held on September 9,  1970.   The rules
of certification are contained in Appendix J.

          were reached with three  paper
          companies and an  adjoining township
          for joint waste treatment  in the City's
          plant.   Contractual  arrangements are
          underway to provide  similar service
          for a second township   The City was
          declared in default  of Stipulation  and
          a Final Order was adopted.  Facilities
          are under construction.

11-1-70   Construction plans approved but
          construction has  not started.  Official
          Plan not acceptable  to Water Resources
          Commission because  it does not comply
          with regional concept.

 11-1-70   Construction of facilities underway
          and almost complete.

          MR. FROST:  If you would care to follow me in the



report, I will start on page 3.



          At the reconvened conferences in Cleveland, Ohio,



in 1966; in Buffalo, New York, in 1967; and again in Cleve-



land in 1968 and 1969, the Michigan Water Resources Commis-



sion reviewed the pollution control program that had been



developed to abate pollution and enhance the Michigan waters



of Lake Erie and its tributaries.  The reports outlined how



Michigan, in 1965, had established water quality goals for



the Detroit River and Michigan waters of Lake Erie and how



a voluntary pollution abatement program had been formed with



the cooperation of industries and municipalities.  The



reports further set down the effluent restrictions and



treatment facility construction time schedules required to
                                           >


achieve the desired water quality goals.  Finally, the reports



described the water quality, surveillance and effluent moni-



toring programs that have been established by the Michigan



Water Resources Commission.



          This report reviews the compliance status of the



previously approved abatement programs and time schedules



and presents information on recent pollution control activi-



ties affecting water quality in Michigan's waters of Lake
Erie.
          Under industrial and municipal compliance status,

                                                        379
                        F.  B.  Frost
Appendix A lists the current performance status of the




industrial plants and municipal units which have stipula-




tions with the Michigan Water Resources Commission to con-




trol their waste discharges to the Detroit River and Lake
Erie.
          Mr. Chairman, this is a rather short paragraph,
but it is one of the most important in the entire report.




Appendix A lists all of those units, industrial units and




municipal units, that have stipulations with the Commission




and gives the status of their compliance.   I intend to




review this in more detail as we come to it.




          Continuing, Appendix B lists the Michigan indus-




tries and municipalities which have discharges in Michigan's




portion of the Lake Erie-Detroit River Basin and indicates




those which have nutrient discharges that affect Lake Erie




water quality.  There are essentially no industries which




presently discharge nutrients to the Detroit River or Lake




Erie without prior treatment or partial removal.  In accor-




dance with Michigan's approved interstate standards plan




of implementation, all affected units of government will




be expected to accomplish phosphorus removal by June 1,




1977, at the latest.  Earlier compliance dates are being




required of most of these governmental units.




          Water quality standards.   Michigan has adopted

                        F.  B.  Frost
water quality standards and designated uses for all of its




intrastate waters and interstate waters*   The Federal Govern-




ment has approved these standards with the exception of
                                  p



temperature standards for fish, wildlife  and other aquatic




life for interstate waters.  Revised thermal standards were




the subject of a public hearing held on March 19, 1970.




          In regard to the construction grant program, in




June 1969, the Michigan State Legislature passed legislation




to implement the $285 million bond program for construction
of municipal wastewater treatment plants.   The bond money



will enable communities to receive grants  up to 55 percent



of the cost of construction of treatment works and inter-



cepting sewers.  This is divided into a 25 percent outright
State grant, a 25 percent State advance of anticipated future




Federal funds, and an expected 5 percent Federal grant.  An



additional $50 million bond issue was approved by Michigan




voters for construction of collecting sewers/ and implement-



ing legislation was passed in July 1969.




          Michigan has recognized its commitment by assist-




ing its communities in financing needed treatment facilities




and by advancing State bond moneys for anticipated Federal




funds.  It is requiring local units to provide the remaining




funds with the assurance that their advanced share will be




reimbursed by future Federal moneys before the State receives

                        P.  B.  Frost
reimbursement.




          A priority list of projects has been developed




and has been approved by the Commission and the legislature.




At each monthly meeting of the Commission, a report is pre-




sented which lists changes in the status of grant offers and




developments since the previous month's meeting and summarizes




all action to date.  The report submitted at the May 1970




meeting is included in Appendix C.




          And interjected here, as Governor Milliken reported




this morning, to date there has been some $58 million in




grant offers covering total construction costs of $140 million.




In 1970, there are 48 projects on the priority list covering




total construction costs of about $270 million.




          Water quality surveillance of the Michigan waters




of Lake Erie and its tributaries.  The water quality surveil-




lance program established by Michigan was described in




detail to the conferees at Buffalo in 1967.  The sampling




and testing of the Detroit River and Lake Erie at 72 loca-




tions is continuing and the data obtained from 1966-1969 is




available in a report published in January 1970 entitled




"Water Quality Surveillance Program, Detroit River-Lake




Erie."  Similar data for the 88 municipal and industrial




waste discharges along the Detroit, Rouge, Huron and Raisin




Rivers will be published in June 1970.  This report will

                                                        382
                        F*  B.  Frost
include all 1969 data and a summary of the 1968  data.




          And in summary here,  sir, reviewing the data that




have been obtained during the years 1966 to 1969 and recog-




nizing that reporting average has very little meaning, it




is difficult to show any significant changes in  the Detroit




River in relation to the dissolved oxygen in total column.




However, there does seem to be a considerable lowering of




concentration of suspended solids in chlorides.   And as we




go through the report, particularly Appendix A,  I think we




can show the probable reason for that.




          Continuing on page 5, the water quality monitoring




of Greak Lakes tributary streams was initiated by the Water




Resources Commission in May 1955 to obtain background radio-




activity information.  The monitoring program has since




been expanded to its present level of 46 stations located




throughout the State.  In 1969 eight of these stations were




located in Detroit River, Lake Erie or their tributaries.




The results of the 1969 sampling of these stations are pre-




sented in Appendix D.




          Beginning in 1963 thd monitoring program was




expanded to obtain a variety of background data  on the




quality of water flowing into the Great Lakes and connect-




ing waters by way of the principal watersheds in Michigan's




Lower Peninsula.  The specific objectives of the program are
-------
                                                       383
                        F. B. Frost
to determine long-term trends in the chemical, physical and




bacteriological characteristics of these tributaries.  The




monitoring stations are located as close as possible to the




mouths of the drainage basins and below all known sources




of waste.  Three such stations are tributary to the Detroit




River or Lake Erie.  A summary of results of analyses of the




samples collected at these stations and from the Ecorse River




in 1969 are presented in Appendix E.




          Beginning in 1967 the Commission inaugurated a




program of sampling of raw water from the Great Lakes.




Samples are collected annually from water treatment plant




intakes.  The intent of the program is to establish existing




water quality and to indicate long-term changes in water




quality.  Four intakes are located in the Detroit River or




Lake Erie.  The results of analyses of the samples collected




at these stations in 1969 are presented in Appendix F.
          In addition to the program conducted by the Water




Resources Commission, the Michigan Department of Public




Health requires that each water treatment plant submit




monthly operating reports which contain results of physical,




chemical and bacteriological tests which are made on the raw




water supply.  The two programs supplement each other and




furnish fairly complete documentation of the water quality




at water intakes.
-------
                                                       384
                        F.  B.  Frost
          The Michigan Water Resources Commission conducts




an annual summer sampling program of Michigan's Great Lakes




coastline surface waters.  The program, initiated in 1965,




is designed to provide bacteriological data during the




summer recreation and vacation season of June to September.




Twenty-two of these sampling points are located on Lake




Erie or the Detroit River.  Appendix G presents a summary




of the 1969 data collected at these stations.




          In conjunction with the existing program for moni-




toring the bacterial quality, a program was started in 1969




to collect qualitative and quantitative algal data from the




coastline surface waters during the summer recreation season.




Chemical and physical analyses of water samples were collec-




ted concurrently with the algal samples.  The data that was




collected in 1969 at the eight stations located on Lake




Erie or the Detroit River is presented in Appendix H.




          Part of Michiganfs plan of implementation for




protection of interstate waters was to establish a long-




range surveillance program on these waters.  In addition to




the previously mentioned annual sampling of water intakes,




the interstate river basins are sampled near Michigan's




borders and above and below possible problem areas.  These




locations are sampled twice a year, once during a high flow




period and once during a low flow period.  Two such basins
-------
                                                       385
                        P. B. Frost
are tributary to Lake Erie, the Maumee River Basin and the




tributaries to North Maumee Bay.  The results of analyses




of the samples collected in these two basins in 1969 are




presented in Appendix I.




          In 1969 a comprehensive survey of the water




quality in the Ecorse River, a tributary of the Detroit




River, was conducted by the staff of the Commission.  The




results of this survey and a concurrent survey by the




Michigan Department of Public Health have been published in




August 1969 in a report entitled "Ecorse River Water Quality




Study, May-July 1969".  Further investigations are in progress




to correct problems in this basin.




          I will skip data processing here and go to thermal




monitoring.




          Staff of the Commission have conducted investiga-




tions of major sources of thermal inputs to the Great Lakes




in the last two years, including most of the power plants




that discharge to Lake Erie or the Detroit River.  Additional




surveys and resurveys will be conducted in the summer of




1970.  The data will be made available in published form.




          In this regard, the two major heat sources on the




Detroit River, the Detroit Edison Conners Creek plant and




channel plant, were studied.  Warm water could be detected




below these discharges one mile and 3 miles respectively.
-------
                                                      386
                        B.  F.  Frost
Both discharges were fo-nd to follow the west bank of the




river with very little lateral or vertical mixing occurring.




Biological effects of the plumes have yet to be evaluated.




          Plume patterns from the Consumers Power Company,




J. R. Whiting Plant on Lake Erie have been established by




Dr. John Ayers, University of Michigan.   The plume extends




into the lake a maximum of 3,750 feet with the size and




shape varying as to wind direction and velocity.  Biological




aspects of Huron have not yet been evaluated.




          Industries with significant thermal discharges




are being required (in new Orders of Determination) to conduct




pre and post operative surveys in the vicinity of their dis-




charges.  Several of the power plants that discharge to Lake




Erie or the Detroit River have employed technical staff or




have engaged consultants to conduct investigations.




          With regard to pesticide monitoring, a Federal




Water Pollution Control Administration  (now Federal Water




Quality Administration) grant for $40,000 was awarded to the




Water Resources Commission on October 1, 1969, for pesticide




monitoring of the Michigan portion of the Great Lakes Basin.




Staff has been hired and the laboratory enlarged and improved




to implement this program.




          In the Lake Erie-Detroit River Basin, monthly water




and sediment samples will be collected at four locations,
-------
                                                       387
                        B. F. Frost
biological monitoring with clams will be conducted approxi-

mately four times annually at these locations and water

samples will be collected annually from two water intakes.

          Regarding duck mortality studies, continued interest
        r
in preventing waterfowl mortalities in the Detroit River

area dictated the continuation of studies initiated in the


winter of 1967-68,  Random samples of ducks were again collec-

ted in two general areas on the Detroit River during the


winter months of 1968-69.

          Autopsies were performed and feathers were analyzed

for the presence of foreign oil accumulations.  It is hoped

that this program will provide further insight in the


wintering problems of these waterfowl and give further

direction in preventing winter mortalities in this area.


          Regarding control of pollution from watercraft, as

previously reported/ the Michigan Water Resources Commission

in January 1968 adopted rules and regulations to control

pollution from marine toilets on watercraft.  The rules do


not allow the macerator-chlorinator and do authorize the use

of holding tanks or incinerators.  The rules became effective

January 1, 1970.  Private marina operators are installing


pump-out stations and treatment facilities where needed and

the Michigan Waterways Commission has accelerated its program

to provide similar facilities at state harbors of refuge on
-------
                                                      388
                        B. F. Frost
the Great Lakes.




          In the matter of mandatory certification of indus-




trial treatment plant operators, Act 209, Public Acts of




19689 requires that all industrial or commercial establish-




ments discharging liquid wastes into the waters of the State
shall have waste treatment facilities under the specific




supervision of persons who have been certified by the Water




Resources Commission as properly qualified to operate the




facilities.  It further requires that monthly operating




reports shall be filed with the Commission showing the




effectiveness of the treatment facility operation and the




quantity of the wastes discharged.  The Commission has set




January 1, 1971, as the date the Act becomes effective.  The




first examination of operators will be held on September 9,




1970.  The rules of certification are contained in Appendix J.




          Now, for just a moment, Appendix A.  This is the




status of the  stipulations that exist with the industries




and municipalities along the Detroit River and Lake Erie.




I will take each one individually.  We will start with the




industrial discharges.




          Number one is the Allied Chemical Corporation,




Semet Solvay Division.  And here a phenol problem has been




solved by a deep well disposal.  However, we are having some




trouble with the deep well, and operation has not been what
-------
                                                       389
                        B.  F.  Frost
we had hoped.  And certain changes are being made.
          Under the Solvay Process Division,  the company has




ceased operation at this location.  In this matter,  I would
like to indicate the significance of this.




          In 1966, on the stipulation side,  there were 3




corporations that had major discharges of chloride — Allied




Chemical, Solvay Process Division, the Wyandotte Chemical




Corporation North Plant and South Plant,  and the Pennwalt




Company East Plant and West Plant.  The total number of




pounds of chlorides covered by those stipulations was 5.2




million pounds per day.




          Ceasing operations at the Solvay Processing Divi-




sion removed 2.8 million pounds of that chloride or some 54,




55 percent.  The chlorides from those sources have been




removed since 1966.  That is one of the explanations for




lowering of chloride in the Detroit River.




          Continuing, the American Cement Corporation, the




Jefferson Street plant is now in compliance.  The Brennan




Street plant was in existence, but not in operation when the




stipulations were developed.  It has since gone into opera-




tion, and a new stipulation has been developed with the




company.  And they are under construction for improved
treatment.
          Consolidated Packaging Corporation,  this is a paper

                                                       390
                        B. F. Frost
mill  at Monroe.  They had primary treatment, and they had




a  contract  signed with the City of Monroe for secondary




treatment.   The  completion of this depends upon the comple-




tion  of the Monroe plant.




          Consolidated Packaging, South Side Division, is




in the same category.




          Darling and Company in Melvindale is in compliance.




          E. I.  duPont deNemours and Company in Ecorse has




to go out of operation.




          Firestone  Tire and Rubber Company had a waste




pickling  acid problem.  This is now being hauled out and




used  by another  industry, and the company is now in compliance.




          The Ford Motor Company, Monroe plant, is completely




in compliance.




          The Rouge  plant is in partial compliance.  The




iron  in suspended solids on two outlets are not in compliance.




This  has been recognized by the Commission.  A final order




of determination has been issued.  Construction is underway




on one of the sewers and construction  is being prepared for




the second.




          In regard  to the pickling acid conversion to hydro-




chloric acid, steel  pickling from these lines with all spent




 liquor  returned  to  the  supplier has eliminated  most dissolved




iron discharges from the  plant.
-------
                                                       391
                         .  F. Frost
          Regarding the suspended solids, again, surveillance




date of 1969 identified two waste outlets discharging sus-




pended solids, and these are iron solids, including phenol,




and in excess of the stipulation limits.  Commission declared




company in default of the stipulation and adopted a final




order of determination on May 20, 1970, requiring full com-




pliance by November 15, 1971.  Data since then has indicated




that the phenols are probably in compliance.  These are way




below the stipulated limits.  And regarding iron and sus-




pended solids, correction of one automatically corrects the
other.
          National Steel Corporation at the steel rolling
mill in Ecorse, here is partial compliance,  too, of one,




and the lead containing soluble oil is not in compliance.




The steps taken to put this into compliance did not work  out,




and the company came to the Commission and asked for an




extension of time to construct additional facilities.  These




are under construction.




          MR. LYON:  Mr. Chairman, I wonder if it isn't




possible for us to shorten this.  It is physically impossible




for us to assimilate all this.  While the report from the




State of Michigan is very complete, couldn't it be put into
the record?
          I am afraid if every one of the States does this,
-------
                                                      392
                        F. B. Frost
we will be here for quite a long time.

          MR. STEIN:  Well, I do think we are going to let

each State make the presentation in its own way.

          Also, I think we have to recognize these are
       *
important.  And this does deal with Detroit, but it is up

to the State.  I am not going to cut him off.

          And you proceed in your own way.

          MR. PURDY:  Well, Mr. Stein, I would have no

objection to placing this in the record if at the end of

this conference no conclusions would be reached.  That is

that there would be, then, time for the conferees to read

this report and meet at a later date to reach conclusions.

But if at the end of this conference the conferees are
                               h
expected to reach some conclusions, I think it is important
                                          i

that we understand what is in the report at the present time,

          MR. STEIN:  Well, maybe we can settle that now.

I am not sure, and I didn't want to jump into this tonight

without giving the conferees an opportunity to sleep on

this overnight.  And I think in view of the workshop we are
                                                      i
going to have and the material that is going to be adduced

there, it might be unrealistic to think we are going to have

conclusions at the end of this conference.  We may reconvene

after the workshops are completed, but I would hate to give

you or ask you for an immediate judgment from the conferees
-------
                                                       393
                        F.  B.  Frost
on that question on this short notice.   I was going to leave




that question with you for consideration over the night.




          You possibly may want to meet with your staff or




get together in several States and caucus on this.   That




would be a sensible approach to me.




          But in any event, why don't you proceed in the




way you wish.




          MR. PURDY:  Well, beyond that, you have mentioned




that there will be workshops in the other States and at that




time, you will expect to go into the situations in detail




in those States.




          MR. STEIN:  Yes, sir.




          MR. PURDY:  There are no workshops scheduled here




in Michigan, and this is the time for Michigan to place the




detailed record.




          MR. STEIN:  I think your point is well taken, sir.




And as I said, this is the meeting we are going to have in
Detroit.
          MR. LYON:  I would like to ask Mr.  Purdy,  then,
how you expect the conferees to reach conclusions based on




this amount of detail.  It is physically impossible.   It




is a question in persistency, too, whether we can sit and




listen to all this detail.  I don't see how we can reach




conclusions based on this large amount of detail.
-------
                                                       394
                         P. B.  Frost
          MR. STEIN:  May I make a suggestion?  I think we




have raised an issue.  I think to get on with this,  I am




going to let Mr. Purdy proceed in his own manner as  we do




with every State.  I would suggest conferees consider this




question overnight, and we might arrive at a judgment on




how we can best handle it.  But I don't think that at this




hour of the day, we are going to be very productive  in try-




ing to discuss this here and come up with a solution.
          So would you proceed, Mr. Purdy, with the presenta-
tion?
          MR.  PURDY:  I would guess there are only about
10 or 15 more minutes, and I would like to present in the




way we were going.




          MR. STEIN:  Right.  Mr. Frost, go on.




          MR. FROST:  Mr. Chairman, I would guess there are




two or three more minutes.




          MR. STEIN:  Go ahead.  No one is going to be cut




off.  Keep going.




          MR. FROST:  All right.  I believe I was on National




Steel Corporation, the steel rolling mill in Ecorse, in




which there is partial compliance.  One sewer containing




soluble oils has a new treatment plant under construction
there.
          The 80-inch hot strip mill is in compliance.
-------
                                                       395
                        P. B. Frost
          At the blast furnace, there is one sewer there with




excess quantities of suspended solids.  The company has been




with the Commission.  A revised stipulation has developed in




which construction is under way for a new treatment plant.




          McLouth Steel Corporation is in compliance.




          The Mobil Oil Corporation is in compliance.   The




stipulation here referred only to suspended solids in oil.




Later a phenol problem was discovered, and this was brought




to the management's attention.  And the management has




informed us as of this week that treatment facilities will




be in place by February 1 of 1971 to reduce the phenols 90-




plus percent.




          Monsanto Company, the Trenton plant is in compliance




          The Trenton resin plant is in compliance.
          The two Pennwalt Corporation plants are in com-
pliance.
          Revere Copper and Brass is in compliance.




          Scott Paper Company.  Here was a major source of




BOD in solution.  A pulp mill with 25,000 pounds of  BOD has




been discontinued.  The paper mill has been connected to the




City of Detroit sewer system for treatment.




          Time Container, another paper mill,  Monroe, in its




secondary treatment is dependent, too, on the  City of Monroe.




          Union Bag Camp Corporation is in the same  category,
-------
                                                       396
                        P.  B.  Frost
another paper mill in Monroe.
          Wyandotte Chemicals,  the North Works,  is in com-
pliance.
          The South Works is in compliance.   And there  is
a note here.  Discharges of mercury discovered in March 1970




were halted by a court order obtained April 16, 1970,  per-




manently enjoining mercury discharges.




          If I can just have one more minute for a summary —
          MR. STEIN:  No one is cutting you off,  Mr.  Frost.
Go ahead.
          MR. FROST:  I keep waiting for the bell to ring
somewhere.
          (Laughter,)



          MR. STEIN:  If you only hear it inside your head,
it is not.
          MR. FROST:  On original schedule and in compliance
are municipalities like Trenton, Luna Pier, Estral Beach,




Wyne County, Wyandotte plant and the Trenton plant in Grosse




lie Township.




          In industrial, I have Allied Chemical-Solvay Process

          Partial compliance on a modified schedule, addi-
tional voluntary controls, progress underway,  there are no


municipalities under here, but Great Lakes Steel-Ecorse,

Great Lakes Steel-Blast Furnace, and Semet Solvay.

Water Resources Commission, modified schedules set by final


order, the City of Monroe, Frenchtown Township, Monroe


County and Ford Motor Company, Rouge plant.

          Behind schedule, enforcement action upheld by court,

modified schedule set by court, there is one under munici-

pality, Berlin Township.

          Behind schedule, Commission action pending, there

are two under municipality, Detroit and Riverview.

          This accounts for the 12 stipulations for munici-

palities and the 25 stipulations for industry.

          That concludes my portion of the report, sir.


          MR. PURDY:  Mr. Chairman, we recognize that on the

modified schedules, these will have to be considered by the

conferees.




          MR.  STEIN:   Right.




          Now, let me say at  least the  way  I  look  at  this




evaluation.  By and large, your industrial  waste sources




on the Detroit River are in compliance  for  the  river  really




to be cleaned up.   The ones not in compliance depend  on




connecting to municipal systems,  whether it is  municipal




treatment in Monroe or Detroit or someplace else.   Is this




a fair statement?




          MR.  FROST:   Well, the Detroit River,  the Ford




Company is not on  it.




          MR.  STEIN:   Yes, the Ford Motor Company.




          MR.  FROST:   And the Great Lakes Division of




National Steel Corporation.  This is a  soluble  oil company




problem to be solved by the company itself.




          MR.  STEIN:   I understand.




          MR.  FROST:   I think you are thinking  of  the paper




mills in Monroe.  There are four there  all  dependent  upon




the city of Monroe for secondary treatment.




          MR. STEIN:   But by  and large, except  for Ford  and




National Steel, the industries are in compliance on the




Detroit River?




          MR.  FROST:  Yes, sir.




          MR. STEIN:   Now, is Wyandotte Chemical putting

                        F. B. Frost
out any mercury at all?
          MR. FROST:  I can't say it is zero.   It is almost

an immeasurable amount.

          MR. STEIN:  I just raise this not as a pollution
          r
point but to make the record clear.  Are there still

discharges of chlorides from various chemical  plants into

the Detroit River?

          MR. FROST:  There has been no reduction in the

discharge of chlorides from either Wyandotte Chemical or
Pennwalt.
          MR. STEIN:  All right, I think as far as I can
see, that clarifies it.  I think it is a very clear report,

by the way.

          I would like to say this to Mr. Lyon:   I am not
                                            >

saying we necessarily need this orally.   But I have found

that if we attempt to have any less of a detailed report

than has been given by Michigan — and I think they gave a

very good report — we don't have sufficient detail to answer

the questions here.  We can't answer them to the press and

the citizens, and I am sure I can't answer them when we get

back to Washington.  We found this over periods  of operation

where we have kind of developed a plan of notification of

various things that we put in.  I think this is  no dif-

ferent than the State.  Essentially, it is when  they retain

                        F.  B.  Frost
engineers, preliminary plans,  detailed plans,  arrange




financing, initiate construction and complete  construction.




Unless you have that in detail on each specific phase,  I am




not sure we know where we are.  And then we have to have the
analyses.
          Let me ask one more question.   How much do you
think Ford is out of compliance?  How long are they going




to be over?




          MR. FROST:  Well, on the tailrace — and this




is from the Porter House — this is under construction now.




And the company assures us the construction will be com-




pleted in January of 1971.  The specialty foundry, and this




is a solid material, iron ore solids, this requires an




entirely new treatment plant which is now under design.  And




I think the date for completion of construction is November
of 1971.
          I did misspeak myself here on Wyandotte Chemical
There has been a reduction in chlorides resulting from the




treatment of mercury.  This has been disposed of into deep
wells.
          MR. STEIN:  Yes, I think Mr. Purdy referred to
that before.  In other words, the Ford Company is running




from about a year-and-a-half to 2 years late.




          MR. FROST:  On one outlet, yes, sir.

                        F.  B.  Frost
          MR.PURDY:  Mr. Stein, I would like to ask one




question of Mr. Frost.  This is with respect to the




specialty foundry sewer.  It is my understanding that a




treatment facility was built, but it failed to operate as




guaranteed,




          MR. FROST:  That is correct.




          MR. PURDY:  And that now it has been determined




that this treatment plant will have to be replaced entirely




and that such facilities are under design.




          MR. FROST:  This is correct.  This was a formalized




treatment plant provided by the company which did not work




properly.




          MR. STEIN:  Right.




          By the way, this happens in every business.   And




it happened over and over again in a lot of municipal and




industrial complexes.  But again let me put it to you this




way:  I think the program is fine.  But when we first came




here, the big source of pollution that was visible to every-




one was the discharges from the city of Detroit and from




down below, from Monroe and those other places, which




resulted in the closing of Sterling State Park for swimming.




This included the discharges of the River Rouge area — and




Ford is the biggest operator there.  I think with all the




progress we have to make, as far as I can see, the Sterling
-------
                                                       402
                        F.  B.  Frost
State Park is still going to be closed this  summer.   Ford  is




behind.  And we will hear from Detroit.   But if  they are




behind, too, I think we still have the big things  that  we




came out here on when we first came on the case  and  may not




still be in compliance.




          And I recognize that these are very real problems




and very complex problems.  There might be very  good reasons




for them.




          Are there any further comments or  questions?




          MR. MAYO:  One question.  I would  appreciate  it




if Mr. Frost would expand just a little bit  on the nature




of the phenol problem at the Semet Solvay Division and  also




the cyanide problem at McLouth Steel.




          MR. FROST:  All right.  Semet Solvay Division is




a coal company division processing phenol.  About  1955, it




built and operated for years a phenol recovery plant.  They




just rebuilt the coke ovens within the last  2 or 3 years.




The phenol recovery plant was not an economical  thing to




operate, and they decided to go to deep well disposal with




this particular waste.  And the deep well was built, and it




operated for some time, but not very long before troubles




developed in the engine pressures.  And they are beginning




to remedy this now.  And this is under way there.




          The company is fully confident that they can

                                                       403
                        P. B. Frost
correct the problem.
          MR. MAYO:  Will they be going to new phenol
recovery facilities?
          MR. FROST:  No, deep well disposal.
                i

          MR. MAYO:  They will continue with deep well dis-
posal?
          MR. FROST:  Yes.


          MR. STEIN:  I would like to ask both the Federal


conferee, Mr. Mayo, and the State people — Now that this


process is on record and going again, do you feel that deep


well disposal meets the new Federal policy on deep under-


ground well systems?


          MR. MAYO:  Certainly Secretary Hickel has raised


the spectrum of the appropriateness of deep well disposal
                                             i

of wastes when there may be available viable alternatives


for the removal and disposal of those wastes.  And certainly


we just offer at this time the observation that if they


were having difficulty getting rid of the wastes in the deep


well disposal, perhaps these are technical difficulties that


can be overcome.  But I just comment that certainly deep


well disposal in terms of the Department of the Interior


approach should be considered as essentially the last alter-


native and not resorted to if there are other practical


means of getting rid of the phenol.

          MR.  STEIN:  Are there any other comments or
questions?




          MR. FROST:  I didn't complete my answer,  Mr.




Chairman.  He asked about the cyanide from McLouth  Steel.




          McLouth Steel does not have its own coke  ovens.




It purchased coke.  Last winter we detected cyanide coming




from the outlet.  This was traced to the coke purchased at




that time.  We brought this to the company's attention  and




asked that they take immediate steps to reduce this.  The




immediate steps were for chlorination of this material, the




waste from the gas moistures on the blast furnace.   And




this reduced it some 90 percent.  It is still down  in that
level.
          The permanent solution has not been arrived at
yet.  We don't know whether we still have a coke of this




type that will continue to be used in this way.   But the




control is achieved by chlorination.




          MR. STEIN:  Any other problems/ questions?




          (No response.)




          Thank you very much, Mr. Frost.




          Mr. Purdy.




          MR. PURDY:  I am wondering if Nina Johnson is in




the audience at the present time.  If so, I would like to




have her make her statement now.

very much.
               STATEMENT OF NINA M. JOHNSON
                 WATER RESOURCES CHAIRMAN
                  LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS
                   ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN
          MRS. JOHNSON:  I would first like to say it is




very difficult for a mother and a housewife to come here




representing the League of Women Voters and be faced with




these mountains of very technical information.  I have tried




to go over some of it, and I certainly admire the attention




and the expertise that has appeared here.




          I am Nina M. Johnson, Water Resources Chairman




of th^ League of Women Voters of Ann Arbor, Michigan, which




is a participating member of the League of Women Voters




Lake Erie Basin Committee.




          Our members have been studying the administration




of water resources at all levels of government since the




mid-1950's.  Across the nation League members have actively
             *  *
supported policies and procedures which promote comprehensive

                                                       406
                        Nina Johnson
long-range planning for conservation and development of




water resources and improvement of water quality.




          In the Lake Erie Basin League members in New York,




Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan support the imple-




mentation of the Enforcement Conference recommendations.




In addition, they support the setting and enforcement of




the highest possible standards of water quality; coordinated,




cooperative planning, effective implementation and enforce-




ment, and adequate funding of efficient administration.




          Lessons from past environmental changes indicate




environmental repair is difficult to justify economically
or politically once the damage has occurred.  Too often it




has been too easy to cast the blame on neighbors while




ignoring the local problems which also contribute to the




whole mess.




          However, part of this is because the public is




woefully uninformed.  Few citizens know the true facts.




Fewer are familiar with local or regional organizations




formed to expedite action.  It is even difficult for the




informed citizen to pinpoint responsibility.  This is not




surprising if one surveys the legislation, regulations, and




directives which have begat agencies, departments, commis-




sions, offices, and district, basin, and regional organiza-




tions — all stacked into a gigantic inefficient bureaucracy

                        Nina Johnson
and sapping the financial needs for effective pollution




control mechanisms.




          The principal result of the alarm over Lake Erie,




which triggered the first Enforcement in 1965, has been con-




ferences, papers- meetings, studies, talk and more talk.  The




eutrophication of Lake Erie continues to accelerate.




          Dissolved solids build up in the lake.  Pollutants




continue to pour into Erie's waters.  Mayflies have given




way to sludge worms, in some areas numbering up to 30,000




per square yard.  Decreasing varieties of algae are burgeon-




ing in numbers.  Oxygen depletions have increased in extent




and duration.  Trapped nutrients threaten to make Lake Erie's




algal overproductivity self-sustaining.  Bacterial contami-




nation fouls our beaches.  Solid wastes litter our shores.




Flushing and dumping of brines and oils are in common




practice.  Concentrations of toxic metals and exotic chemi-




cals create emergencies.  This conglomerate mixed with




radioactivity, viral contamination, and thermal pollution




can toll the death knell of Lake Erie.




          In the Lake Erie Report of August 1968, there




was a rundown of the municipality waste problem and the




industrial problem.  And the conformity to those schedules




of abatement can best be described as dilatory with munici-




palities.  But municipalities are faced with seeking funds
-------
                                                       408
                        Nina Johnson
debased by inflation,  justifying expenditures to an apathetic



public, awaiting plan approval and program decisions.   These



are only some of the hurdles facing municipalities beset



by skyrocketing costs of crisis after crisis.



          Industry, because of its very nature,  has been a



little more efficient than government.  But the  fact of the



matter is, we have fallen behind the schedule.  Efforts we



are making do not keep up with commercial and industrial



development and the increasing demands of an expanding



population.



          We are not so naive that we hope Lake  Erie can be



returned to a pristine condition.  Nor do we believe an



effective reclamation effort can be accomplished in a day



or a year.  But it is evident that unless a decision can be
                                          i


made for a rational basis of management, Lake Erie will soon



face a cataclysm which will make present difficulties mild



by comparison.  The Lake Erie Basin requires a management



program which will provide clear policy guidelines for the



establishment of priorities and the enforcement  of quality



standards.  The program should include population factors,



power consumption, waste disposal, industrial development,



land management, political coordination, and provision for



extensive public information projects.



          Until elected and appointed officials  have the
-------
                                                       409
                        Nina Johnson
courage to face up to the public,  to industry,  and to the




respective governmental bodies involved,  with this kind of




a clear and comprehensive program which distinctly spells




out the social and economic costs, quite frankly,  we will




continue to waste our time and money.




          This is not a new nor radical idea.  The Delaware




River Basin Commission has organized the efforts of four




States and shows progress in coping with matters of concern




in that area.  The Tennessee Valley Authority has  provided




a model for river basin development around the world.  The




British River Boards, established in 1963, were designed to




identify a priority of uses and to establish channels for




beneficiaries of water quality to provide a fair share of




water management costs.  Their success is receiving world-




wide attention.




          Earth Day was the focal point of the frustration




being experienced by many across the land — particularly




the young.  They are raising legitimate questions  of our




assignment of values and priorities.  It might be  well for




us to remember that the 18-to-25 year age group is the most




viable political force in our country today.




          To keep faith with the growing number of concerned




citizens steps need to be taken which will provide meaning-




ful results within a relatively short period of time.

          First, strong and active support by the Adminis-




tration for full funding of the $1.25 billion appropriation




for matching moneys for construction of municipal treatment




plants and interceptors is an essential ingredient of a




massive campaign to clean up Lake Erie.




          The rest of the possible areas of action would not




require exhaustive studies, detailed engineering, or large




capital investments.




          By legislation or taxation a limit of phosphate




content could be imposed upon detergents, a limit of, perhaps,




10 percent.  Rather than rushing headlong into accepting NTA




detergents which are still subject to question, let us




rigidly control one of the substances which we know plays




a major role in the eutrophication of Lake Erie.




          An imposition of a moratorium on the use of salt




for icy streets and roads for a period of 3 to 5 years would




provide sufficient time to determine how important this




practice is to the chloride content of our lake.




          With DDT already prohibited in Canada and Michigan,




a ban on the use of chlorinated hydrocarbons in the lake




basin might prevent the critical situation now present in




other of the Great Lakes.




          Seemingly insurmountable social and political




barriers have prevented efficient development and protection

of Lake Erie.  Conservation, health, industrial development,




recreation — all are different aspects of our water prob-




lems.  Even departments and agencies of government view the




same problems differently.  Too many agencies more readily




identify with entities they regulate than with the public




they should protect.  We need a planned program which can




assess and coordinate the differences for the benefit of all
of us.
          Will the future show us resorting to auctioning
our lakes and rivers to the highest bidder?  Or do we want




to maintain and protect our waters as a valuable national




resource?  The crisis is now.  Shall we wait for catastrophe




before we really come to grips with our problems? If we




wait until tomorrow to make our decision, it will be too
                                           i



late.




          Thank you.




          MR. STEIN:  Thank you, Mrs. Johnson.




          Are there any comments or questions?




          (No response.)




          Thank you very much.




          Mr. Purdy.




          MR. PURDY:  I have one comment, not a question,




Mrs. Johnson.  I have no argument with your statement»  You




did note in this the fact that industry has met its obligations

                                                       412

somewhat more efficiently than municipalities.   And by and




large, the problem with municipalities has been the matter




of financing.  And here it seems that everyone wishes to




wait for their turn for a State and Federal grant.  And if




we are going to meet what apparently the public wishes in




the way of an accelerated program of pollution control, this




means that somebody is going to have to go ahead without
waiting for Federal and State grants, as I see things today




I cannot foresee State grants and Federal grants building




up to the level to where we can progress as rapidly as we




should in municipal pollution control projects.  So, there-




fore, we, the people, must be ready to say that we are
willing to go ahead and build municipal waste treatment




plants without waiting for grants.  And I hope I see that
today.
          I would like to call now upon Mr. Reid of the
Southeast Michigan Council of Governments.

young, "Remember, it is when you are spouting you are most




likely to get harpooned,"




          The Southeast Michigan Council of Governments,




successor to the Detroit Metropolitan Area Regional Planning




Commission, has long been concerned with the development of




water pollution abatement plans and the implementation of




such plans in the southeastern Michigan region.   In October




1967 the former commission adopted a long-range  water supply




and a long-range sewer and treatment plan for its then 4-county




jurisdiction of Wayne, Oakland, Macomb and Washtenaw Counties.




The sewerage plan was based on the study and plan formed by




the National Sanitation Foundation previously.  The area of




responsibility was extended to 6 counties, adding Monroe and




St. Clair, when the Council of Governments was established




in January 1968.  Steps were instituted shortly  thereafter




to expand the original water supply plan and the sewerage




plan to the full 6-county region and to meet the objections




of several of the counties to some elements of these plans.




          From the outset, the former Regional Planning




Commission and the now Council of Governments has been con-




cerned with a regional approach to the problems  of water




pollution abatement.  We were very happy to hear George




Milliken this morning put emphasis on the regional approach.




          We recognize that governmental agencies and private
-------
                                                       414
                         P.  M.  Reid
enterprise are both responsible for the pollution problems.




We also realize that governmental agencies primarily are




responsible for the development of pollution abatement plans




and programs on a regional scale.




          Further, the Council of Governments is keenly aware




of its obligation and the challenge to formulate plans and




undertake actions, not only to alleviate the current situa-




tion, but also to prevent pollution in the future.  Both




current and future pollution abatement are very intimately




related to the extent of population and economic growth on




the one hand, and to the patterns and arrangement of land




uses on the other*  Involved likewise are other facilities




such as transportation, recreational areas, open spaces and




new urban areas, etc., all of which are basic components of




a comprehensive regional development plan.  In this connec-




tion, it is a highly relevant fact of urban development that,




in acres, since the 1950fs it has been increasing at twice




the rate of population growth.  The development and occupation




of raw land for residential, industrial and commercial and




other purposes has been greatly accelerated by the modern




process of urbanization.




          Our agency participated with county and local units




of government in the process of establishing intrastate water

Michigan Water Resources Commission.   The setting of these



standards for various streams and bodies of water has been



a beneficial step in determining the  critical conditions for



pollution abatement.



          In updating and expanding the regional sanitary



sewerage plan, we have sought to get  the 6 member counties



to develop their own county plans as  a first step.  Several



have already done so.  In other counties, the problem has



been to obtain agreement on a county  sanitary sewerage plan



by some of the local units of government involved.  Recent



actions taken by the Michigan Water Resources Commission have



now provided the basis for the resolution of most of these



intracounty and intercounty problems.



          As the certified areawide review agency, it is the
responsibility of the Council of Governments — which is con-




stituted under State law as the official planning agency —




to prepare reviews and comments on all applications originating
                                                     V



in the region for Federal grants-in-aid on water pollution




abatement projects.  These review statements are concerned




with the relation and harmony of such proposed projects with




regional plans.  In discharge of that obligation, we have in




the 29 months since January 1, 1968,  examined and prepared




letters of review and comment on 57 such projects where




applications were directed to the Department of Housing and

Urban Development,  the Federal Water Pollution Control



Administration, and the Farmers Home Administration.   Of



these five received negative reviews as we found it



necessary in light of their noncompliance with regional



plans.  In addition, by law under the Michigan State  water



pollution abatement program, we have examined and prepared



reviews on 16 official local community pollution abatement



plans and 6 State grant-in-aid projects proposed by local
communities under the State program.  Under this State pro-




gram, we have written 2 negative reviews.




          By Act of Congress, regional water supply, sanitary




sewerage and storm drainage plans must be developed and




adopted by October 1, 1970, in order to establish local




eligibility for Federal grants-in-aid for sudh facilities.

Our agency is working earnestly to meet that deadline.  The




cooperation and active participation of the member counties




in the formulation of these plans has been sought and is




expected in time to provide the necessary basis for the

development of a regional pollution abatement system, in




the interests of the health and enterprises of the people,  the




governmental units, and the private enterprises of business




establishments of this region.




          Thank you.




          MR. STEIN:  Thank you.




          Are there any comments or questions?

          If not, thank you very much,  sir.




          MR. PURDY:  Mr. Stein, we have several others that




I would like to put over until tomorrow.  And at this time,




I would understand you would have someone you would like to
call on.
          MR. STEIN:  Yes.   We have someone who traveled a
long distance to come here and has a short statement.   May




we call on Patricia Kaltwasser.

          MRS.  KALTWASSER:   Thank you very much,  Mr.  Stein,




for the privilege of speaking to you.




          I would like to introduce myself first.  My name




is Patricia Kaltwasser.  And although I have traveled from

Buffalo, which is a long distance,  I am a native of Detroit


and have been living in Buffalo for 10 years now and summer


on Lake Huron.  So I have kind of surrounded the lake and


brought my children up and been raised on the lake as well


as under the urging of my children which is one of the


reasons why I have been concerned with the water problem on


our lake.  They won't drink our water that we are getting at


home any more.  So I promised them when we return in the


fall, we will start buying water because 1 am concerned


about their health, too.


          I am a member of Cause which is an association


action group in Buffalo and also another group which is


called "Housewives to End Pollution11 which is an outgrowth


of Cause.  And we have taken the direct approach as far as
                                            •

the phosphate content of Lake Erie is concerned.  And I


just want to tell you what we have done.


          We call ourselves Housewives to End Pollution,


HEP, which is a group of concerned women in the Buffalo


metropolitan area who have banded together to attack immediate


local pollution problems that center around the home.  In


our first effort, we have succeeded in getting all area food


chain stores to agree to post lists of laundry products with


their phosphate percentages.


          On May 8, HEP met with the Buffalo Food Council

which represents area food retailers and brokers.  The




chairman of the Soap and Detergent Association was present,




in addition to representatives of the Big Three soap manu-




facturers, Proctor and Gamble, Lever Brothers, and Colgate-




Palmolive.  We let it be known that we were willing and




able to supply pressure tactics if our requests were not




answered within a certain time.  There was an immediate




consensus among the food stores to post the lists, and the




three soap representatives were asked to supply us with




their own phosphate figures.  We gave them a time limit of




two weeks, after which time we would proceed with posting




alternative lists if necessary.




          Last week the soap companies belatedly sent us a




partial listing.  We are now in the process of assembling the




manufacturers1 figures in conjunction with a list from the




Federal Water Pollution Control Administration.  The stores




will have this list printed at their own expense on large,




visible signs to be placed in their detergent aisles.  And




from this, we hope that the consumer can at least have the




opportunity to make a decision.




          Thank you.




          MR. STEIN:  Thank you.




          Are there any comments or questions?

          If you want a suggestion, Mrs.Kaltwasser,  if  you




are going to stay in this soap and detergent  business,  the




way they tell the amateurs from the pros  is the  way  you




spell Proctor and Gamble — P-r-o-c-t-e-r.
