these new techniques and analyzes each of them in terms of
their potential utility in water resources planning.

Suggests that many of the problems planners and others have
had in involving the public in decision making can be resolved
by recognizing and adopting a strategy of participation specifi-
cally designed to fit the role and resources of a particular
organization. Five types of strategies are identified: Education-
therapy, behavioral change, staff supplement, cooptation, and
community power.

Copies of this paper available upon reouest from Mr. William Reed,
Director of Publications, Parson, Brinckerhoff, Quade & Douglas, Inc.

Five techniques for greater community participation recently
employee in major transportation planning projects are reviewed
and assessed in this paper. They are equally applicable to waste
treatment management planning and include "citizen committees",
"randomly selected participation groups", "open door policy",
"direct funding to community groups", and "planning balance sheet".

Report is the result of case study observation of the citizen
advisory groups operating in conjunction with three planning
studies. Describes the ways in which these groups have dealt
with problems and to generalize from their experience for the
benefit of other citizen advisory groups and planning agencies.
Concludes with a set of practical "guidelines" derived from this
research, for the use of planning agencies seeking to maximize
the effectiveness of citizen advisory groups.

The concept of water resources decison making in the public
interest is both fundamental and elusive. This report discusses
alternative perspectives that have been suggested for defining
the public interest and provides an overview of the decision
making in involved in a typical water resources planning study.
It then examines various approaches to determining the public
interest in preauthorization planning and decision making.

Design of Cost-Effective Water Quality Surveillance Systems, Report
No. EPA 600/5-74-004.U.S. EPA.Wash. D.C. Jan. '74.GPO, $4.05.
Presents the development and successful demonstration of
quantitative methods for the design of river basin water
quality surveillance systems for pollution abatement. The
methods provide a systematic approach to the consideration of
expected stream conditions, system characteristics, equipment
performance, and cost in the selection of a preferred system
design from among a number of candidates. Methods are compu-

1969.Published for the American Museum of Natural History. The
Natural History Press, Garden City, NY, 501 Franklin Ave., Garden

Demonstrates by using concrete examples how man's new knowledge
of ecology can be applied to actual environments, both natural
ones such as seashores, lakes, rivers, and swamps and those that
man has created such as large cities. Emphasis is placed on the
concept of design with nature and showing how man can impose
design but "use to the fullest, the potentialities and with them,
necessarily, the restrictive conditions - that nature offers."

This report deals with the issues of the adequate authority of
designated waste treatment management agencies to perform as
required by Section 208(c)(2) and related sections of the Act.
"Adequate authority" includes both the legal authority and the
management capability of the agencies. The report is based on
a legal analysis of the laws of the fifty states and of federal
legislation, and on a survey of existing waste treatment manage-
ment agencies. The study consists of a main report, an executive
summary, and two separately bound appendices: Appendix A- Suggested

assigned yet.
Study of contributions of motor vehicle usage to urban roadway
loading factors. Specific roadway study sites within the non-
industrial Washington, D.C. area were selected so as to provide
minimal interference from non-traffic-related land use activities
and thus isolate, as much as possible, the traffic-related
depositions.

Practice in Detention of Stprmwater Runoff. Herbert G. Poertner,
American Public Works Association, '74.OTIS PB-234-554.
On-site detention of runoff was investigated as an alternative
to other methods of urban stormwater runoff management. It was
found that this method, which involves collecting excess runoff
before it enters the main drainage system, can often be applied
an an effective and economical means of reducing peak runoff slow
rates to lessen or eliminate problems of flooding, pollution, soil
erosion, and siltation.

management planners to enable them to quantify within reasonable
limits the urban non-point water pollution problem in a local
planning area without extensive data generation, and to make a
preliminary evalution of cost-effective abatement and control
practices. Prescribes procedures for several levels of input,
each requiring more self-generated data, with increasingly
sophisticated results.
