CHAIRMAN STEIN: May we reconvene?
1453
May we reconvene for what I hope will be the
3 | last day of this Conference.
The tentative schedule is as follows:
We will hear from the Sanitary District first.
6 | At the conclusion of that, the conferees will recess for about
7 | an hour. At that time, we will reconvene the Conference and
hopefully have an announcement to make on conclusions and
recommendations.
You can appreciate that the time conferees
11 I will have for this recess will have to be flexible, but if we
12 don't do that now, there will be an announcement later.
I confidently expect that we should be able to
keep to the schedule. Then we should be able to release you.
IS I Even if we have to stay a bit late for lunch, we should be
16 I through before lunch.
With that, we will call on Colonel Chesrow
for the Sanitary District.
19 I Colonel Chesrow.
MR. FRANK W. CHESROW: Thank you, Mr. Stein.
My name is Frank Chesrow, President of the
22 | Metropolitan Sanitary District of Greater Chicago.
I
23 I First, I would like to take this opportunity
24 | to commend our Mayor Daley, Senator Douglas, and the
II
25 Illinois Congressmen for their vision and determination to

join us in our fight to protect Lake Michigan. It is a God-
given resource which is ours to enjoy and not desecrate.
In ray capacity as co-conferee appointed by the
Governor of the State of Illinois, it gives me great pleasure
to add ray welcome on behalf of our Board to this Conference
6 I of the representatives of the Peceral Government, the
representatives of the State of Indiana, and my co-conferees
23
24
25
from the State of Illinois.
The Metropolitan Sanitary District of Greater
Chicago whom I have the honor to represent at this Conference
was one of the first Governmental agencies in the Country
and in the world to recognize the close and intimate relatien
which exists between the purity of water resources and the
health and well-being of the community.
Since the representatives of the Metropolitan San-
itary District of Greater Chicago, from its inception in 1889,
have been elected by the people,they are responsive to the
needs of the people and concerned with the desire of the
19 I population to obtain water supplies in potable form. Thus,
it became one of the early and principal goals of the
District to assure to the people living in this vast metropoli
22 I tan and surrounding area of the purity of the water supplies.
To the achievement of that objective, the Metropolitan
Sanitary District of Greater Chicago has devoted all its
energies, faithfully and persistently. Its efforts in that
-------
1455
respect have brought it praise and admiration from the
four corners of the earth.
In pursuance of its objectives and declared policies
the Metropolitan Sanitary District of Greater Chicago has
endeavored to keep the streams, rivers, and water resources
under its jurisdiction as clean as possible. Obviously, we
are vitally interested in the purity and clarity of the
waters of Lake Michigan which is, so to speak, the life blood
of the people living on its shores.
Since the waters of the Lake are only partially
within the District's jurisdiction, it is clear that the
District cannot control the pollution which emanates from
sources beyond the District's jurisdiction and tend to
contaminate the Lake; the District, therefore, welcomes and
endorses all efforts of the Federal Government which are
aimed at the prevention and curbing of water pollution
originating from sources osutside the control of the Metro-
politan Sanitary District of Greater Chicago. Hie District
will in that respect eagerly seek to cooperate with the
Federal Government.
As far as the waters and the territory under the
District's jurisdiction are concerned, I can say with
justifiable pride that the District has performed an
outstanding job in curbing and controlling water pollution.
Its efforts in that field have found world-wide acclaim and
-------
10
11
1456
have been studied and copied by people from all civilized
nations, as is attested to by the fact that numerous
delegations from this country as well as foreign lands for
4 I many years have visited the District in order to acquaint
5 | themselves with its methods, facilities, and operations.
Hence it is understandable why the accomplishments of
the District in the field of sewage disposal and water
8 | pollution control were recognized as outstanding by the
American Association of Civil Engineers by naming the
District's operations as far back as 1955 as "One of the
Seven Wonders of American Engineering."
12 I I shall not list here in detail the great
13 I contributions of the District to the development of new
14 I methods and techniques regarding sewage disposal and water
15 i pollution control. It suffices in that respect to point
16
17
out we pioneered in 1958 the recently installed Zimmermann
sewage treatment plant, demonstrating again that the
18 .Metropolitan Sanitary District of Greater Chicago is exploring
19 and leading in the field, and far ahead of other governmental
20 8 agencies performing similar tasks.
21 | I would be, however, remiss in my duties were I
22 I not to mention in that connection the District's Industrial
23 8 Waste Ordinance passed in the Summer of 19&2, and I wish to
24 I present a copy for the record to the conferees.
25 I CHAIRMAN STEIN: This will be included in the
I record without objection.

11 Ordinance adopted by the Board of Trustees of the
12 Sanitary District of Chicago on July 11, 1946. Reprinted from
13 Proceedings, July 11, 1946, pp. 1151-1152. Based on an Act
14 to add Section 7bb to :1An Act to create Sanitary Districts and
15 I to remove obstructions in the Des Plaines and Illinois Rivers,
it
16 | approved May 20, 1889, as amended.
17 I MR. CHESROW: Thank you.
18 I The Industrial Waste Ordinance passed in the summer
19 | of 1962 declares as one of its principal concerns the pro-
20 | hibition of the discharge "of industrial wastes, which will
21 cause pollution, directly into the waters, water courses or
22 natural outlets within the boundaries of the Sanitary District
23 | (Art. Ill, Para. l).
24 I The District sees to it that the Ordinance is
I
25 vigorously enforced, first, by attempting to get the volun-
-------

tary cooperation of the party charged with violating the
Ordinance in removing the harmful condition, and, if such
efforts fail, by forcefully utilizing the sanctions pro-
vided by the Ordinance against the offending party. The
effect of the Ordinance upon the reduction of water pollution
has been highly successful.
The District does not rest on its laurels. The
increase in population, coupled with the vast expansion of
industrial works and services, and the tremendous strides
made in the discovery and development of new scientific
11 methods and techniques confront the District with new
12 challenges every day.
13 The District meets these challenges.
Among other things, it conducts a vast and
intensive research program, including assistance from great
universities in the Middle West, and, by the way, is in the
process of improving and expanding its research facilities,
through its current building program of what will be the
country's most modern laboratory facilities, at the cost of
a million and a half dollars.
Yet, all these facilities and methods would be
indeed futile, if the District did not possess the proper
brain power to run these facilities. It is no exaggeration
that the men heading the District's various operations and
departments are recognized and renowned authorities in their
-------
field.
Thus, the General Superintendent, Mr. Vinton W.
Bacon, has been formerly the chief executive officer of the
California State Water Pollution Control Board, certainly a
5 II man intimately acquainted with water pollution problems.
6 The Director of Laboratories, Dr. A. Joel Kaplovsky, who came
I!
7 I to the District on the recommendation of Mr. Bacon holds
8 fl a Ph.D. degree in sanitary engineering; before his coming to
9 the District, he served as Director of the Delaware Water
10 Pollution Commission, again, a man familiar with water
11 pollution questions.
12 I could go on and name the other outstanding
13 experts of the District whom I have asked to join me at
14 this conference, so that they may, when the opportunity
15 arises, answer any pertinent questions and give us the
15 U benefit of their expert knowledge. I have prepared for each
17 of them a short statement listing their qualifications,
18 and I herewith ask respectfully that these statements be
19 I included in the record of the proceedings of this conference.
20 1 CHAIRMAN STEIN: Without objection, they will appear
2i at this point.
22 MR. CHESROW: Mr. Vinton W. Bacon, the General Superin-
23 tendent of the Metropolitan Sanitary District of Greater
24 | Chicago, was selected to his present position by a citizens1
25 [| committee after a nationwide search. He received his degree
-------
1432
in civil engineering with honors from the University of
California in 19^0, ranking first in a class of over one
hundred graduating students. He belonged to the following
college honorary societies: Tau Beta Pi, National engineering
honor society; Chi Epsilon, National civil engineering
society, and Sigma Xi, National scientific society, of
which he is an associate member.
After his graduation., Bacon became a junior
engineer on a sewage disposal survey projecting the future
physical and financial load of handling the domestic sewage
and industrial wastes from the burgeoning population and
booming factories of the San Francisco East Bay area.
Next, as assistant engineer and then engineer of
the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts, he designed
extensions to sewage treatment plants and trunk sewers and
conducted cost studies and analyses of the county's treat-
ment plant operations.
During World War II, as a lieutenant and later
captain attached to the United States Public Health Service,
he served as a senior sanitary engineer inspecting water
supplies and sewerage systems. V.'hile in the army he organ-
ized and directed a typhus fever control project in San
Antonio, Texas.
Following the war, he directed the work which led
to the organization of the big Orange County, California,

sewage and waste disposal system and then moved to Berkeley,
California, to head a sanitary engineering research project
for the University of California which looked into all
technical aspects of the disposal of garbage, sewage and
industrial wastes.
From this position he moved on to the California
State Water Pollution Control Board, to become the executive
officer of that agency. He served in that position from
April 1950 to October 1956, developing details of state-wide
policies for the control of water pollution. In November
1956, he accepted a call to Tacoma, Washington, to serve as
12 the Executive Secretary of the Northwest Pulp and Paper
Association. In that capacity he developed, among other
things, research programs on pulp and paper processes,
waste treatment methods, and the influence of wastes on
fishery resources. He remained with the Association until
his appointment as General Superintendent of the Metropolitan
Sanitary District of Greater Chicago in 1962.
Mr. Vinton Bacon holds licenses as a registered
professional engineer in California, Oregon, Illinois and
Washington. He is a fellow of the American Society of
Civil Engineers, a member of the Water Pollution Control
Federation in the Pacific Northwest chapter, of the American
24 || slater Works Association, the Technical Association of the
II
25 I Pup and Paper Industry, Air Pollution Control Association and
-------
has been a diplomat of the American Academy of Sanitary
Engineers since the formation of that organization in 1956.
The American Society of Civil Engineers honored
him with its Research Prize in 1956, "in recognition of an
outstanding contribution to the art of waste water reclam-
ation." He was the fourth man to receive this award.
George A. Lane is the Chief Attorney for The
Metropolitan Sanitary District of Greater Chicago, a position
he has occupied since January 1, 1959.
10 During his encumbancy in this position, he had
11 charge of much important litigation, including the Lake
12 Diversion Case pending in the Supreme Court of the United
13 States before Special Master Albert B. Maris, the suit in
14 the U.S. District Court against General Electric, Westing-
IS house and others for damages for overpayment on electrical
16 equipment bought by the District and numerous other suits
17 in the Circuit and Appellate Courts and the Supreme Court
18 of the State of Illinois; also numerous suits in the U.S.
19 District Court and before the various Commissions, both
20 State and Federal.
21 His work in connection with the Lake Diversion
22 litigation and the legal aspects of the New Zimmermann
23 Process makes him an outstanding authority on the matter
24 of Water Pollution and its correction.
25 Mr. Lane has been practicing before the Illinois
-------
16
17
1485
Bar since 1928 and the United States Supreme Court since 1959
He received his J.D. Degree in 1928 and a B.A. Degree in 1925
from Loyola University of Chicago and has been approved by
4 | committees of the Chicago Bar Association as qualified for a
5 I position of Judge of the Circuit Court of Cook County. He is
a member of the Chicago Bar Association, the Illinois State
Bar Association and numerous other policital, civic and
8 I religious organizations.
9 Colonel Frank W. Chesrow, President of the
10 Metropolitan Sanitary District of Greater Chicago, has held
II that position since December of 1958. Prior to that time, he
12 served as a Trustee of the District for twelve years, having
13 thus acquired a working knowledge of the sewage and water
14 pollution problems which beset a modem large metropolitan
15 area.
Colonel Chesrow is a graduate of Valparaiso
University (Ph.C.) and of the U. S. Army School of Sanitary
18 Engineering. He brought to his position on the board of
19 trustees of the Sanitary District many years of experience
20 U with sanitation problems. From 1932 to 1942, as a member of
21 I the Army Reserve, he was a sanitary engineer and instructor
22 I and consultant on industrial wastes, water supply and sewage
23 I disposal. He want into active military duty in June
24
25
In 19^3, he organized and trained the personnel of
the Il8th Station Hospital, the first station hospital to be
-------
14
15
16
17
18
set ip by the American forces in Europe during World War II.
This hospital played a leading role under Colonel Chesrow's
supervision, as Administrative Officer, in combating a typhus
epidemic in Naples, Italy, from October 1943 through 1944,
caused by the destruction of sewage and water facilities.
During that period, temporary sanitary and water facilities
were set up under Colonel Chesrow's direction and other
health measures instituted with such success that not one
member of the armed forces became afflicted with typhus.
10 Continuing in his capacity as a military
11 sanitation engineer, he supervised numerous sanitary
12 installations for troops and civilians in war torn areas
13 and eventually moved into the General Staff Command where
he served as consultant on Sanitary Engineering in Military
Government.
As a result of these achievements, Colonel Chesrow
received more th^n thirty decorations from the American,
French and Italian governments and the Vatican which
recognized Colonel Chesrow with one of its most coveted
appointments as Papal Chamberlain - in recognition of this
outstanding war record and humanitarian efforts in behalf
22 1 of civilians.
With this wealth of background, he came to the
Sanitary District as a Trustee in 1948. Since that time, he
has introduced and participated in the inauguration of many

innovations in sewage treatment. Among these, was the first
pilot plant for the wet air oxidation for the disposal of
sewage sludge waste in a large metropolitan area. This
plant is one of the many significant contributions to the
science of sewage disposal that has made the Sanitary
District recognized throughout the world and described by
Surgeon General Luther L. Terry as recently as last December
8 II as, "one of the best, most efficient, and most superbly
9 maintained waste treatment plants in the world."
Mr. Philip Furlong, Chief of the Maintenance and
Operation Department of The Metropolitan Sanitary District
of Greater Chicago has held this position for the last
I!
13 fifteen years.

Michigan of any pollution; at the same time, I would like
to assure this conference and the people living within
The District's boundaries of the District's continued
determination to curb and to eliminate water pollution
within the territory under its jurisdiction.
Proof of the quality of our operation and our
desire to cooperate is best emphasized by public opinion
expressed by two outstanding authorities.
One was early In 19^2, Mr. Gordon E. McCallum,
Chief of the Division of Water Supply and Pollution Control
of the United States Public Health Service.
Mr. McCallum said, and I quote, "I think certainly
since we have been working on the survey, the operation of
the Sanitary District Treatment Works has been efficient.
There have been charges that it has not been, but our observa-
tions have not so indicated. It is efficiently operated."
Just recently, last December 1964, Dr. Luther
Terry of the United States Public Health Service appeared
in Chicago and gave a talk at the Executive Club.
I would like to quote from his talk just in brief.
"Today Chicago has one of the best, most efficient,
22 I nor/.; efficiently maintained waste treatment plants in the
23
24
25
world. This modern complex of facilities treats the waste
of five million people and thousands of industries every day.
The modern treatment methods remove approximately 90 percent of
-------
1494
all organic wastes."
Now, I would like to present our General Superinten-
dent, Mr. Vinton W. Bacon, the General Superintendant of
the Metropolitan Sanitary District, who is an outstanding
authority in sanitary engineering and water pollution.
He received his degree in Civil Engineering with
honors from the University of California in 1940 and is a
member of many honorary and scientific societies.
During World War II, he was a Captain attached to
the United States Public Health Service as a senior sanitary
engineer. He was Chief Executive Officer of the California
State Water Pollution Control Board and later Executive
Secretary of the Northwest Pulp and Paper Association, where
he remained until his appointment as General Superintendent
of the District on October 22, 1962.
Among the many honors he received is one for his
contribution to waste water reclamation by the American
Society of Civil Engineers who honored him with its research
prize in 195&.
Mr. Vinton Bacon.
MR. BACON: Mr. Chairman, conferees, ladies and
gentlemen:
My name is Vinton W. Bacon. I am General
Superintendent of The Metropolitan Sanitary District of
Greater Chicago, on whose behalf I am speaking today.
-------
The ultimate goal as far as The Metropolitan
Sanitary District of Greater Chicago is concerned is to keep
Lake Michigan as clean and free of pollution as possible.
In doing so, it is also the goal of the District to improve
the quality of the water in the drainage ways which were
built to divert wastes away from the Lake. To these ends,
Illinois and its agencies welcome this conference and record
their desire to cooperate in every way.
Since one of the purposes of this conference is to
10 gain and understand factual information on sources of wastes
11 and their ultimate disposal, Figure 1 was prepared, utilizing
12 the data on Table VI-2, VI-5 and VI-6 of the "Report on
13 Pollution of the Waters of the Grand Calumet River, Little
14 Calumet River, Calumet River, lake Michigan, Ttfolf Lake and
is Their Tributaries, Illinois - Indiana," dated February 1965,
16 by the U. S. Public Health Service. (See Page 1495)
17 Figure I compares waste loads at the source, that
18 is., the point of outfall or discharge for six parameters of
19 pollution; population equivalent based on organic load as
20 measured by BOD (biochemical oxygen demand), ammonia
21 nitrogen, total nitrogen, phenollcs, cyanide, and oil.
22 The sources are divided into three areas of origin:
23 Indiana (as shown at the bottom of each bar graph, and in
24 brown on the colored slide); the Metropolitan Sanitary
25 District of Greater Chicago (as shown in the middle of each

bar graph and in orange color on the slides); and the State
of Illinois — other than the area within the Sanitary
District (shown at the top of each bar graph and in green on
the colored slide).
Within the individual bar graphs, the quantities
are as near to scale as it was possible to achieve., but the
bar graphs are drawn to different scales. The tabular
values from which these were drawn, as well as the next two
figures, are given in Exhibit I, attached to this statement.
Based on the pollution parameter population equiv-
alent, the Sanitary District's maximum load to Lake Michigan,
if all the wastes originating in the District were to reach
the Lake, would be 127,300 out of a total of 1,155,865
population equivalent or only 11.0 percent of the waste load
at the source.
The Sanitary Board represents only 4.1 percent of
the ammonia nitrogen load at the source, 1.5 percent of total
nitrogen, 21.8 percent of phenolics, 2.0 percent of cyanides,
and 7.9 percent of the oil.
The contributions from the State of Illinois area
outside of the Sanitary District are even smaller according
to the data in the Public Health Service Report.
23 | Now, I am going to extemporize for Just a couple
24 | of minutes.
If you will turn to Exhibit I and I think generally,
all of you have a copy of the Exhibit and I know the conferees
have. (See Page 1497)

It is on page 11 and I will wait until you find
it.
It is a table in long-hand.
Now, these are computations by Norvai£, Anderson*
upon which the chart that was shown was based and upon which
the next two figures will be based.
The first horizontal block you will notice is the
total load from the various sources. That is what you have
Service document.
Now, the next horizontal block, labeled on the left,
"The Portion of Load Reaching Lake Michigan."
This is after we are going to make some deductions
as we will explain as we go along.
Then, the third figure will be after deductions
have been made to allow for the normal lake levels as shown
in the third horizontal grouping* and the deduction for the
closing of the O'Brien Lock under certain conditions which is
the fourth horizontal grouping.
Now, this table is backed up by computations,
Gentlemen. If you wish details, we can furnish that to you if
you find that it would help in your deliberations.
I might emphasize that some of the figures that we
-------
1499
used would not agree precisely with some of the figures in
your report. We are in the same ball park. We are in the
same realm of significant figures and we wouldn't quarrel with
them although we probably In some instances have more de-
tailed information.
The point is, we are starting with your figures
from your report and we will make adjustments due to
deductions that we think are Justified.
Now, if you will turn to page 2, I am going to do
this in order to save you from having to come back.
On the next page, this is an estimate of the time
of reversal of the Calumet River during dry weather conditions
due to drop in level of Lake Michigan. (Exhibit 2) (See
Page 1500)
I simply want you to note this exhibit so I don't
have to ask you to turn to it again.
This is the computation made by our Water Waste
Control Engineer, Mr. Don Brown, where we are trying to
figure the best we can how many reversals we have due to low
lake levels.
Now, if you will turn to the next page, Exhibit 3,
you will notice Exhibit 3 is four pages long. (See Pages
1501 & ff)
In Exhibit 3 we list the sixteen industries we
will be talking about in the body of the statement. But,

again, I must emphasize that I am calling this to your
attention now so that we don't have to come back to this
exhibit again.
We have, as you will see, listed company, waterway,
volume of discharge, BOD initial, BOD final, BOD reduction
and so forth and we give a statement as to the present
treatment and present status for each industry.
So, now if you will return with me back to page 2
of the text, we will not have to go back to the Exhibits
again.
I will read, beginning at the next to the last
paragraph, but, as has been repeatedly testified at this
conference, all of the wastes generated within the Sanitary
District do not reach the Lake but are carried away from
the Lake by withdrawals through the Calumet-Sag Channel.
This is the basic purpose of the Cal-Sag Channel. It is
only when the Calumet River reverses and flows toward the
Lake that effluents discharged into Calumet River and
tributaries reach the Lake.
The Calumet River reverses when an offshore wind
drops the Lake by as little as 0.3 foot. Using the records
of the gauging station at the mouth of the Calumet River,
reversals are indicated by a drop in level exceeding the
drop between the mouth and the Blue Island Controlling
Works. The number of hours of reversal of the Calumet River
-------
1505-A
during dry-weather conditions was estimated and is shown
in Exhibit 2 for the five-year period, 1960-1964. It
summarizes as follows:
For the year I960, the number of hours of reversal
were 1,162 or 13.2 percent of the total time.
6 For 196l, 322 hours or 3.7 percent of the time.
7 For 1962, 249 hours or 2.8 percent of the time.
8 1963, 990 hours of reversal, or a total percent of
9 the time of 11.4 for percentage of the total time.
10 In 1964, 604 hours or 6.9 percent of the time it
11 was in reversal.
12 And the average for this five year period is 7.6
13 percent.
14 In a subsequent computation, 7 percent will be used,
15 but this can be practically eliminated with the operation of
16 the O'Brien Lock. However, that part of the river between
17 O'Brien Lock and the mouth of the Calumet River will continue
18 to reverse under low lake level conditions.
19 Reversals of flow also take place when the River
20 system is in flood. At a maximum, this would occur 5
21 percent of the time, and will be practically eliminated with
22 the operation of O'Brien Lock.
23 Thus, without the operation of O'Brien Lock, it
24 can be estimated, conservatively, that reversal of flow
25 occurs on the average, 12 percent or less of the total time.
-------
1506
This means that 88 percent of the waste load generated at
the source in the Sanitary District and discharged to the
Calumet system is carried away from the Lake through the
Gal-Sag Channel.
Figure 2 shows the resulting waste loads to Lake
Michigan. The color, position, and scale for the three areas
of the source remain the same as we had in Figure 1. (See
Page 1507)
For the population equivalent as measured by BOD,
the Sanitary District contribution is 15,272 out of a total
of 995*383 or 1.5 percent of the wastes reaching the Lake.
The Sanitary District wastes reaching the Lake
represent only 2.5 percent for ammonia nitrogen, 1.6 percent
for total nigrogen, 7.4 percent for phenolics, 2.0 for cyanide
and 6.8 percent for oil. Although these are still waters
which the District would like to keep completely out of the
Lake, it is apparent that the quantities are very small
in the total picture.
But there are means immediately available for
preventing much of the reversal caused by the low lake
levels - the closing of O'Brien Lock when a reversal is
imminent due to a sudden further drop in level.
As Colonel John C. Mattina, District Engineer, U.S.
Army Engineer District, Chicago, testified at this conference,
O'Brien Lock has been closed for pollution control purposes

on 12 occasions since January 17, 19&5, at the Sanitary
District's request. Further, he stated it would be closed
in the future for this purpose at the request of the district.
Now, Exhibit 1, which I showed you earlier, shows
the further deductions in waste discharges from the Metropolit
an Sanitary District that will come about through the con-
sistent operation of O'Brien Lock, as the Corps of Engineers
has offered, and the return of normal lake levels, which is
a reasonable expectancy.
Applying these further deductions to Figure 2,
Figure 3 (See Page 1509) is the result showing the waste
load to Lake Michigan with normal lake level and O'Brien
Lock in operation. The quantities discharged with these
further Improvements are so small that the Sanitary
District contributions and the State of Illinois contri-
butions are now grouped together and shown in green.
Going back to the bar graph on the left, the BOD
load of 22 population equivalent is infinitesimal. The
remaining load is essentially from the direct discharges
to Lake Michigan from the South Works of U. S. Steel
Corporation.
Now we have demonstrated what a very small portion
of the waste load to Lake Michigan originates in the Sanitary
District. Although small, the remaining industrial load
must be abated to the fullest extent possible.

In July of 1962, the Board of Trustees of the
Sanitary District enacted an industrial waste ordinance
applicable to all of the District, except Chicago. It was
developed in cooperation with the Chicago Association of
Commerce and Industry and with individual industrial firms.
Chicago has in draft form an almost identical
ordinance, and it is reasonable to expect its adoption.
As a part of the expanded industrial waste program,
laboratory facilities have been increased including the
purchase of a better and faster boat and floating laboratory,
and personnel in the industrial waste control section has
been increased.
Highlights of this program in the area under
consideration are:

We state here on the prepared statement that more
detail on these surveys is given in Exhibit 3 which I have
shown you already.
Within the last two years, three of the industries
have reduced their BOD load from 22,000 pounds per day to
only 700, a reduction of 97 percent. These companies are
Cargill, United Chemical, and Libby McNeil & Libby.
The domestic sewage from all of the steel mills
is discharged to the Metropolitan Sanitary District
sewerage system with the exception of one mill. However,
this mill is in the process of obtaining bids for installa-
tion of new sewers in the immediate future. Thus, they are
not responsible for any bacterial pollution, with the one
exception noted.
The Public Health Service Report stated:

"Of particular significance, it (meaning
the Calumet Sewage Treatment Plant) treats coking
wastes from the steel plants located along the Calumet
River in Chicago so that phenolic and other con-
stituents of these wastes receive secondary treatment."
Now, actual conditions are not quite this complete,
as much as we would hope so. These are a few remaining coke
oven operations which result in phenolic discharges. But
changes in process and installation of new recovery systems
10 have markedly reduced the phenolic discharges in the last
few years.
12 Three plants, Chicago Brick Company, Ford ^fc>tor
13 Company and Bulk Terminals, with a population equb/alent of
14 7*260 will provide correction in 19^5- Due to the extensive
15 operations of some of the remaining plants, longer periods
18 for correction will be required.

part of the waste control program at one of the steel mills on the Calumet River, the large tanks
in the center of the photo above are used to recover phenols produced in the coke-making pro-
cess and prevent them from being discharged into the waterway. Waste water from the plant's
by-product recovery operations is then used to quench the coke when it is removed from the
coke ovens. The plant's closed quench system thus eliminates the need to use water directly

As part of the waste control program at one of the
steel mills on the Calumet River, the large tanks in the
center of the photo are used to recover phenols produced in
the coke-making process and prevent them from being dis-
charged into the waterway. Waste water from these units is
then discharged into the waterway. Waste water from these
units is then discharged to the District's sewer system for
secondary treatment at the sewage treatment works. Waste
water from the plant's by-product recovery operations is also
connected to the sanitary sewer system.
Although these photos were taken from one company,
Republic Steel, they are typical of what is being done by
the five companies along the Calumet system.
(Figure 8) Molten slag from U.S. Steel's South
Works blast furnaces becomes a fluffy white material about
the consistency of popcorn when quenched in water-filled pits.
Almost all of it settles. (See Page 1519)
However, some of it floats. Particles that escape
over the weir of the pits are trapped by rotary screens en-
cased in rectangular boxes below the weir. South Works
engineers designed these screens to intercept the popcorn
slag particles before they escape.
South Works has not been able to maintain a hundred
percent performance all of the time, since the abrasive edges

of the slag particles severely damage the screens and have
kept them down for repairs a minor part of the time. It is
during these infrequent periods that the unwanted popcorn
slag escapes.
Corrective measures are being taken which we are
satisfied will bring the popcorn slag problem under control.
Let me point out, however, that this discharge isn't toxic or
a danger to health although it certainly could be a nuisance

recirculation system. This has reduced the volume of wastes
discharged, besides improving the over-all quality of the
effluent.
Republic Steel Company is currently placing a similar
system in operation for part of its water usage.
Within the last month, a new complex industrial
waste plant went into service at Cargill, Inc. This system,
costing $50,000 includes acid neutralization, oil removal and
BOD reduction by use of anaerobic-aerobic digestion ponds.
Final checks are being made on new waste treatment
facilities at Ford Motor Company. The systems costing
$64,000, involve reduction of hexavalent chromium and treat-
ment of paint wastes.
Acme Steel Company has completed the engineering
work on the installation of new sewers to remove all domestic
wastes from the waterway. They are currently obtaining con-
tractors' bids in the work which is expected to be completed
in 1966.
United Chemical will install a new $400,000 process
and waste system which will insure maximum effluent quality.
Just recently, U.S. Steel Company has made arrange-
ments for a joint technical study with the Sanitary District
of its waste discharges.
In closing this section on industrial wastes, I
want to make one point very clear.
-------
1523
1 I The Sanitary District, under its basic enabling
2 f legislation, and under its Industrial Waste Ordinance, is
responsible for regulating and controlling all industrial
discharges. This is why we have spoken today on behalf of all
the members of the District in this study area. Responsibilit
for any shortcomings must rest at the feet of the Sanitary
District, for we are the ones to call the tune. But, as
has been vividly demonstrated, the waste loads reaching the

Lake from the District are quite small indeed.
10 Now, let me summarize the position of the Metro-
11 politan Sanitary District of Greater Chicago, as far as this
12 conference is concerned:
13 First of all, Lake Michigan should be kept as clean
and free of pollution as possible. To that end, the District
welcomes these hearings and records its desire to cooperate
in every possible way.
Second, the contribution of wastes to Lake Michigan
from within the Metropolitan Sanitary District is very small
in relation to the total waste load reaching the Lake.
Third, the contributions will be further reduced
through abatement of industrial discharges and through
closing of O'Brien Lock to prevent many of the reversals of
the Calumet River.
Fourth, within the limits of available resources,
the Sanitary District will continue to improve and upgrade
-------
1524
the quality of its sewage treatment plant effluents and,
thus, the quality of water in the Calumet River and Cal-Sag
Channel system including disinfection of plant effluents
when water uses so dictate.
Contrary to the statement of one witness that no
plans have been made to chlorinate the effluent from the
Calumet Sewage Treatment Plant, the District's five-year
plan includes financing and construction sometime within this
9 period.
10 Fifth, the location of the dam on the Grand Calumet
11 River near Hammond, Indiana, is a question for decision out-
12 side of this conference. It necessarily involves considera-
13 tion of the degree of treatment afforded by the City of
14 Hammond, the degree of treatment afforded industrial wastes,
15 and the anticipated frequency and severity of accidental
16 waste spills.
17 On behalf of the Board of Trustees of the Sanitary
18 District, I wish to thank you for the opportunity to appear
19 before you.
20 CHAIRMAN STEIN: Now, are there any comments or question
21 from the conferees?
22 Mr. Poole?
23 MR. POOLE: Your figures, Mr. Bacon, on flow reversal
24 estimate an average of 12 percent a year.
25 How do you reconcile those with the report of the

Chicago Water Department and the maps that were in back of j
the Chicago Water Department and I believe were based on their {
i
weekly or bi-weekly observations from collected samples? ;
I am looking now at 1959 and I960, they show 49 J
percent. 1961 shows 46 percent, '62 shows 43 percent,'63,
40 percent and '64, 38 percent.
MR. BACON: Mr. Poole, we're well aware of this dis-
crepancy or deficiency as you call it.
In fact, I have had those figures and charts for
some time, too, as was reported by the city. Their visual
observation is taken from bridges where the samples were made.
We believe our figures are considerably more accurate because
they are based upon continuous recording gauges.
We have observed many times that, depending upon
wind conditions and, by the way, the prevailing wind in the
summer time is from the south or southwesterly direction, I
believe, which certainly would tend to set up an apparent
current toward the Lake, while the main current might be
the other direction.
We maintain this, though, Mr. Poole, whether our
t
figures are 12 percent or theirs of 46 percent, which is
three times as great, that really we are still not much in
it
23 I the picture and we intend, as we are saying here, to improve
24
25
further, but we do believe our figures are accurate at the
present time.
-------
1526
MR. GERSTEIN: Can I make a comment?
CHAIRMAN STEIN: Mr. Gerstein.
MR. GERSTEIN: I think the two statements are
reconcilable.
One represents an entire reversal of the river,
the other you could have a temporary reversal of the river
near the mouth whereas the rest of the river is going the
other direction and these are Just observations at the time,
and at times the river goes back and forth and may not have
much flow either way,
But, at the time we collected our samples that
was the direction.
I think that both statements are correct.
MR. POOLE: Where is your gauging station?
MR. BACON: Right at the mouth of the river — where is
the precise location, Mr. Brown?
MR. BROWN: The north side of the river, right at the —
approximately one-half mile from the mouth of the river,
right by it.
MR. POOLE: Same location where their observations were
made.
MR. BROWN: Same location where the government gauge is,
MR. KLASSEN: As a point of information, I think your
-------
5
1527
hydraulic engineer probably could help answer this:
Is it within the realm of possibility that the
surface currents would be in one direction and the main flow
of the stream in another direction?
MR. BACON: Without a doubt, this can happen.
10
11
12
13
14

17
6 I Now, those of us that have -- and I have to
immodestly put myself in this category—made a lot of float
tests, you use a bottle float, disk float, six foot float, or
twenty foot float because you have currents in different
directions and any wind ;vill set up a different current.
I would like to point out to the conferees that
certainly one of the benefits of a conference like this is
that you try to put together your data and try to be — I
mean -- point out your position. You realize that some of
your methods have not been as sophisticated and refined as
they should have been.
We certainly want to know more about the direction
18 of the flow in that river beginning very shortly, so, as a
19 part of our control program, we can do a better job of keeping
20 B the river flowing in the direction we want it to.
2i 1 CHAIRMAN STEIN: Mr. Bacon, as I understand this, this
22 § is f°r clarification.
23 & The gauge you have really is the official one. At
|
24 § one point in the Division of Water Supply and Pollution
H
25 I Control -- as I understood this from the study our Department
-------
1528
is doing in the Lake here — they have found that observations
like that may or may not be reliable. What they have
developed was sort of a reversed Texas tower, something that
goes way down into the water at various levels to pick up
the flows.
Now, I appreciate Mr. Gerstein's and your
statement on that. But if there is a problem here and knowing
as much as we do about the difficulty of ascertaining flows
in the Lake, I think this is an area that might be very well
10 watched.
11 MR. BACON: We are agreeing with you, Mr. Stein. .This
12 is an area that is so controllable quickly there is no reason
13 it should not be done, at least to know what direction the
14 flow is going in.
15 CHAIRMAN STEIN: Yes.
16 MR. KLASSEN: One other point, Mr. Bacon.
17 There has been considerable discussion regarding
18 the closing of the O'Brien Lock.
19 Referring to the map, assuming this O'Brien Lock
20 was closed, I think we have testimony last week that Lever
21 Brothers discharges wastes into Wolf Lake. Would it not be
22 possible with the O'Brien Lock closed, that waste discharged
23 by Lever Brothers into Wolf Lake would find itself into the
24 Calumet River and then out into the Lake?
25 MR. BACON: Yes, they are the same as any of the other
-------
1529
nine industries located along that area.
I am not intimately familiar with the details of
I
3 | operation, but you must remember that, if the Lake — this
would be when the Lake dropped and when the reversal was
uncontrollable, you might be talking about a drop of 6 inches
or a foot.
So, therefore, you are talking about a quantity of
water equal to a depth of about 6 inches or a foot. The
whole river isn't flowing out and another thing to keep in
10 I! mind is that most of the industry — they first of all pump
11
12
13
14
15
16
17
24
25
their water out of the river, putting their wastes back in
so you have a circulatory system. It is not as if they are
reaching out into the Lake, bringing fresh water in, polluting
it, putting it into the river where it would all have to go
out.
MR. KLASSEN: This is the particular reason I mentioned
Lever Brothers — because, I think they are taking their
18 water from the Lake and putting it into Wolf Lake. Therefore,
19 it would not be recirculated.
20 MR. BACON: That is correct.
21 MR. CHESROW: We are talking about 12 percent, 46
22 I percent, regarding the reversal.
23 How serious would it be if our figures were off,
say 200 percent?
MR. BACON: As I mentioned, there is validity to the
-------
1530
type of observation that has been made by the city and ours
so, if it were 24 or 36 percent, what I tried to portray
here is that, although we are small in the total picture, we
believe in this area, as far as the Lake is concerned — and,
that's even that small portion is quite readily controllable
6 if not practically completely controllable, if nature will
7 just cooperate with us a little this coming summer.
8 MR. CHESROW: Thank you.
9 MR. POOLE: I have another question.
10 CHAIRMAN STEIN: Yes.
11 MR. POOLE: Mr. Bacon, on page 8 - you referred to
12 Republic putting in a system for recirculation for part of
13 its water usage. What happens to the rest of it?
14 MR. BACON: Is there a representative here?
15 Do I have the right to call upon the Director
16 of Laboratories or upon a representative of the company?
17 It is a detail beyond me, Mr. Poole.
18 A VOICE: Mr. Chairman —
19 CHAIRMAN STEIN: I am afraid we are going to have to
20 call a halt. If we were to have answers from the people
21 here, this would be fine. The District can call on all the
22 Industries to make statements. We have decided not to.
23 As you know, the procedure here is Just for the
24 one making the statement and the conferees.
25 MR. BACON: May I then have the permission, Mr. Chairman,
-------
3
1531
of getting the answer and entering it into the record at
this point to Mr. Poole.
CHAIRMAN STEIN: Yes.
4 a MR. BACON: I will do that.
MR. POOLE: I have a question or two regarding the
Republic Company.
I was a little frustrated or disappointed with the
Health, Education, and Welfare table. I believe it's VI -
Vl-a, which indicates no population equivalent from Republic
10 and no ammonia nitrogen and no oil.
11 The latter is the one that bothers me, specifically
12 in that it has been my observation that it is practically im-
13 1 possible to operate a steel mill without some oil getting
14 I away and I think my suspicions were confirmed, as I remember,
15 I by one of the photographs that somebody introduced which did
16 show oil in the vicinity of the Republic plant.
17
I wondered if you are in a position to clarify
IB that quandary that I am in?
19 MR. BACON: Well, I mentioned earlier in the statement,
a
20 | in testimony, that we do not necessarily agree with all
I
21 I these figures either.
22 I We feel there are some omissions on BOD and
23 oil, but we felt that it was proper since this was the basis
24 of the calling for the conference, to work from Table VI and
25 all its components.
-------
1532
That's why we drew upon it, too; but, we feel
there are wastes that are not shown here and they are wastes
of consequence which we have under surveillance and will have
under an abatement program where necessary.
MR. POOLE: I was a little concerned also, this goes
back to — maybe I should have asked these during the Health,
Education, and Welfare presentation, about pickle liquor
from the steel milles, on the Illinois side in that I
assumed I may be wrong, but I assumed you did not take
pickle liquor into the MSD system and I wondered what was
happening to all the pickle liquor from the Chicago steel
mills.
MR. BACON: Mr. Kaplovsky, he is one of our team.
MR. KAPLOVSKY: These wastes are neutralized. Like
any mill in Indiana, these are passed back into the stream.
MR. POOLE: They are neutralized before thay are put
back?
MR. KAPLOVSKY: Yes, this was pointed out.
MR. BACON: May I, on this point, now, this is an
important point, in connection with what Mr. Poole is saying
in that the Table Via, the quantities of industrial wastes,
whether it is complete in every respect, we note, for
Instance, the conferees in talking about the Sanitary
District, nothing is said about our 95th Street overflow
storm water pumping station.
-------
1532-A
MR. POSTON: I am all ready to ask you something about
2 | that.
3 I MR. BACON: Thank you.
I
4 I MR. POSTON: I didn't want you to feel left out.
5
MR. BACON: I would like to pass this out to the con-
ferees (indicating). It is something we have done subsequent
to the preparation of the statement, but again, we started
out with the Public Health Service figures and made our
9 [I adjustments thereto, but there is something that should be
10 added into the record here, because you will recall, in
11 Figure 3> we came down to a population equivalent of 22.
12 (See Page 1533)
13 Actually, that population equivalent would be —
14 would have been zero, except we were subtracting slide rule
15 quantities and it came out there were 22 left over. Starting
16 with the Public Health Service figures, the subtraction
17 theoretically should have ended up as zero. You know that
|
18 isn't the case, because we have a 95th Street storm water
19 pumping station.
20 I This table has been passed out to you and prepared
21 by our Norval Anderson, and, Mr. Chairman, may this be
If
22 entered into the record at this point? (See Page 153*0

station at the Calumet River and you will see, for 6 years,
from '59 to '64, we have reported from the records of the
District, the total hours pumped in 1959, that pumping station
pumping storm water which had mixtures of domestic sewage in
it operated 100.3 hours.
In I960, 36.5 hours.
In 1961, 26.1 hours.
In 1962, 9.7 hours.
In 1963, ^7.2 hours, and
In 1964, 6.7 hours.
Those are the hours that the pumping plant operated
overflowing into the Calumet River.
Now, we have not correlated those pumping hours as
to whether the river was flowing toward the Cal-Sag or whether
15 it was flowing lakewards, so this would be a part of the
16 total determination.
17 But, assuming that it all went lakeward, you will
18 notice in the last column the five day BOD to the river in
19 pounds and that's based upon a storm water concentration of—
20 overflow or pumping of 60 parts per million, which is a
21 rather generous allowance for storm water overflow.
22 In other words, it is on the safe or conservative
23 side.
24 When you go to the mathematical computations shown
25 on the sheet, the population equivalent of the 95th Street
-------
1536
pumping station is about 2530 persons, if all of it went to
Lake.
MR. POOLE: I don't believe, Mr. Bacon, you can average
situations like that; that is, where you got a storm water
station that operates X number of hours per year and where
6 | the experiences here have been that many of the difficulties
are periodic in nature and caused by what normally would be
8
9
10
11
12
a slug effect.
MR. BACON: That is correct, Mr. Poole.
MR. POOLE: I don't believe you are being quite kosher
when you come down to the end, taking the pound as discharged
intermittently, whether it be through the storm water pumping
ii
13 1 station or industries, and dividing that by 365 days.

MR. POOLE: As far as the Water Department is concerned,
it doesn't work that way.
MR. BACON: Well, I think we on this side of the line
would agree, it is the slug effect we are worried about.
CHAIRMAN STEIN: Mr. Bacon, let's get back to that
point.
I appreciate these figures from Norval E.
22 | Anderson, they probably are going to be very valuable, but
23 how much of this do you want in?
24
How about that stuff in the circle at the bottom
25 in the record?
MR. BACON: I think that is his computation —leave that

out.
CHAIRMAN STEIN: O.K.
MR. BACON: Only those portions necessary to make it
clear, sir.
CHAIRMAN STEIN: Mr. Bacon, I do think that Mr. Poole
has raised a good point. I think for purposes of the
record we can make that clear now, because I had that noted
for a point to mention later. The same type of thing, it
seems to me, might apply on your graphs where you add 88
percent and then you average it, then you had a low lake
level. The point is that 88 percent doesn't seem to me can
be equated with total pounds on a yearly average. Eighty-
eight percent refers to 80 percent of the time.
Now, assume these figures are correct and, if
we take the Water Works' figures, they would be much higher.
If we are going to get — in other words, you
are getting the full pollution load if you are assuming
18 that, say, 12 percent of the time — this is not an average
19 and when we deal with slugs and point of time, let's suppose
20 the full pollution load comes out during the summer when
21 people are using it. This is what we have to worry about.
22 The other point that is closely related to that
23 is the notion that we can assume normal lake levels. The
24 difficulty is that the people on the Great Lakes here, as
25 those living on the shore of any other river or any other
-------
1538
body of water, have to live with certain extremes. You
just can't assume normal lake levels, nor can we equate If
we are getting a slug of pollution a portion of the time
that this is always innocuous. The example we cften use, let1
suppose you get a load of pollution coming into a swimming
beach on say the first eleven days in August and not much
pollution coming out in December, January or February. If
you use your average all year long, you are going to find the
3 pollution is not too bad. But, you have effectively destroyed
10 the use of that beach for swimming. I think, when we talk
11 in terms of time analyses, we should really consider what
12 we have in mind.
13 MR. BACON: Mr. Stein, if you will look at Exhibit 2,
14 you will find although we eventually come to an average,
15 we have given you, by years, by months, the number of hours
16 of reversal under the past conditions. We can also show you
17 with work sheets, as I offered to you, should you want them,
18 it's two hours here, four hours there. We have some reversal
19 on 30 hours duration within the months. All of those figures
20 are available and all of us would grant that it is the
21 slug effect that is the blow that really we are interested
22 in, in practically all instances, but we have told you that
23 blow is not going to be there because, in past years, we
24 did not have O'Brien.
I
25 « Thanks to a cooperative arrangement with the

1539
Corps of Engineers, they will close at any time we ask from
here on in, and the Lock will be in permanent operation as
a navigational facility.
I think Colonel Mattina said, beginning in 1965,
so we have a protective device here that is operable and
operating now and, although the statement I have here and
the Colonel said, I think it was, 12 times -- Mr. Brown,
how many times have we closed the Lock since the statement
was made by Colonel Mattina?
10 MR. BROWN: Three times, I think.
11 MR. POOLE: O'Brien does not give complete protection
I2 because there are eight or nine industries there between
13 O'Brien and the Lake.
14 MR. BACON: If you have any long duration of flow
15 toward the Lake, then you will be peeling off of that top
16 and any industry pumping into it directly from the Lake
17 will have to spill in that direction, yes, sir.
18 MR. POOLE: I will yield to my colleague.
19 CHAIRMAN STEIN: I want to correct the record here.
20 I don't have any doubt of what has been said,
21 but on the question of the O'Brien Lock, as I recall Colonel
22 Mattina's statement, we did not have any definite statement
23 from him.
24 I wonder if this would be used for navigation
25 because he talked in terms of it not being necessarily
-------
11
12
13
14
15
effective for navigation as long as you have the limitation
of the Blue Island Lock and Colonel Mattina, as far as I
understood his statement, very carefully did not indicate
when this would be in full navigational operation.
The second point I have to make, I appreciate
this point of Colonel Mattina because we have the same one
in our establishment, possibly you do, too.
He was careful to indicate that he wasn't
sure, as much as he would love to cooperate and do this, that
10 (I he was fully staffed up to run that Lock for water quality
control purposes and I think, as I understood and I am
just trying to get this in place in the record.
MR. BACON: He stated, if I remember correctly, and we
can check this in the record, that there are staff to
operate it as a pollution control facility at our request,
16 but they are not staffed to operate it as a navigational
17 facility.
18 Now, there is something else that is extremely
19 important and I don't want to see this O'Brien Lock minimized
20 as a pollution control facility, because it is true, as has
21 been brought out here, that we have nine some industries on
22 the lake side of O'Brien Lock which continue to discharge
23 when the Lock is closed.
24 I But, from a bacterial point of view, the pro-
25 tection should be quite complete because our treatment plant
-------
2
3
4
1541
at Calumet, which does not chlorinate is located —
MR. POOLE: But, the 95th —
MR. BACON: On the storm flow pumping station.
Now, again, we pointed out the number of hours
and the quantity of flow for the 95th Street pumping station.
One thing else that should be entered into the
record is that in the long-range program and not so long-
range either -- probably within a two or three year period or
four at the most -- the 95th Street Pumping Station will be
10 abandoned, with the construction of the Southeast Pumping
H Plant which would be located adjacent to O'Brien Lock and
12 which will discharge either side of O'Brien Lock. So in that
13 case, most of the time, I would imagine, except severe storms,
14 when the whole works has to be opened up, that the discharge
15 would be on the landward side of O'Brien Lock to 95th Street,
16 although sometime in the picture it is destined, and the
17 design and plans are to replace it with the 95th Street --
18 excuse me, with a Southeast Pumping Plant within a few years.
19 MR. POOLE: I have one other question about Cargill sewage
20 As I remember the Health, Education, and
21 Welfare Report indicated they had a septic tank and I was
22 sort of intrigued when, by those computations of those you
got down to an ultimate population equivalent of 22.
It is pretty good, I think from a computing
standpoint I wondered what is happening to the Cargill sewage.
-------
1542
You mentioned they have put their industrial waste plant into
service, does it take care of the sewage, also?
MR. BACON: Dr. Kaplovsky, do you have that answer
ready?
MR. KAPLOVSKY: This CargUL plant reported as having
6 | 8500 population equivalent, as I recall our examination,
showed that on the closer, it was composites that had about
12,000 population equivalent and this plant had been
9 I completed and put into operation and it has an aerobic and
10 an anaerobic system as you indicate in here.
11 Now, this is to the best of my knowledge and
12 includes total waste load.
13 I MR. POOLE: That takes the sewage also going to the
14
15
16
17
18
19
20
22
23
24
25
septic tank?
DR. KAPLOVSKY: At the moment, this is the best of
my knowledge.
MR. BACON: Well, we will make a check with the Chair-
man's permission and enter it into the record, if that's
not correct.
DR. KAPLOVSKY: I might point out the total employees
21 I at this plant is 150 and it is not very large.
MR. POOLE: Still, 6 X 22 isn't it?
MR. BACON: You understand, Mr. Poole, you are under-
scoring a point we wanted to make. We started with the PHS
figures and if the figure, the initial figure didn't have
anything in it, and we know everything isn't in there,
-------
then you are going to end up in some cases by the process
of elimination, if they didn't have any BOD in the location
to begin with, you will end up with a zero.
This is not in criticism of those figures,
because we feel we are in the same ball park, and by a very
comfortable margin.
MR. POSTON: What water quality criteria do you have for
the area of your jurisdiction or what goals?
What do you try to attain in terms of water
quality?
MR. BACON: You must remember that the North Shore
Channel of the Sanitary and Ship Canal and Cal-Sag were built
not at that time as recreation and water waste or sources
of drinking water, they were built as a part of a drainage
system.
At one time they depended solely upon dilution
for treatment process, meaning they received raw wastes
under the 1930 Decree of the Supreme Court, by dilution
water was cut down to the extent we had to have built and
operate three secondary type treatment plants, based on the
activated sludge process.
So, our standard at the present time within
the District's secondary treatment equipment to the activated
sludge process for not only our three plants but for all of
the — we have also I think nine or ten smaller plants,
-------
1544
then we have supervision or jurisdiction over seventy some
institutional sewage treatment plants. We require of all
other plants chlorination in addition to the secondary
treatment.
So, our standard at the present time — I,
without relating it to receiving water, Mr. Boston, would be
secondary treatment, some with chlorination, some without.
MR. BOSTON: Then you would expect all industries within
j
9 this area to provide equivalent facilities?
10 MR. BACON: This is our ultimate goal, because we were
11 treating all discharges alike. In due time, we would expect
12 all of them to get to the same level of treatment.
13 If they cannot tie into our system, to which
14 of course we would provide the treatment.
15 MR. POSTON: Do you have a particular requirement for
16 beaches that you would want to protect? What kind of
17 quality — I am thinking about Calumet Park Beach.
18 MR. BACON: Mr. Poston, our goal is to keep the wastes
19 away from the beach and the two locations we have had our
20 last diversion into or bypassing into Lake Michigan in 1961,
2i I at the- North Shore Channel at Wilmette, at the Chicago
22
23
24
25
River Locks.
As we pointed out, here we regularly have
these reversals at the Calumet River, but our goal is, as
we are stating here, to keep the pollution away from
-------
2
3
Lake Michigan.
MR. POSTON: I am a little confused by the way we — -
MR. BACON: We wouldn't set the bacteria standard, I
say, we probably look to others for help on that health
matter.
MR. POSTON: In view of all of this closing and talk of
closing of Calumet Park Beach, I wondered whether or not you
had looked into any and were aware there were high coliform
counts in that area?
10 MR. BACON: Yes, I heard this testimony and very
11 dramatic and spectacular testimony. It brought home the
12 point very well, and this, of course, is one of the things
13 that is stimulating us to do what we are doing not only in
14 trying to keep our Calumet effluent out of that area and I
15 might add, I don't know what we are going to do about 95th
16 Street in the meantime, meaning obsolescence and abandonment.
17 Certainly, if worse comes to worse, we, like
18 all others that operate combined sewerage systems are tying
19 in systems of storm water overflow treatment.
20 In fact, we are getting quite anxious to get
21 some money from you for that.
22 MR. POSTON: I am — when you talk in your recommendation
23 No. 5 that the location of the dam on Calumet River as being
24 outside of the jurisdiction of this conference, when Hammond,
25 which is a town of some 140,000 people, 147,000 people with
-------
discharge of some 30 million pounds of sewage a day, treated
sewage, and normally this sewage goes directly west, would
you point that out?
4 MR. BACON: Right, at that divide line.
5 MR. POSTON: That normally flows west.
6 No\7, the plan is to make that flow to the east
and this would put treated sewage back into Lake Michigan and
8 this is difficult for me to understand.
9 MR. BACON: Well, now, we have to be real careful and
10 & patient here because you are asking us to take one block of
11 sewage from Indiana, and, if we say one is all right, then
12 we could say more is all right and then, eventually, and
13 we all know that hydraulically, this is possible, all of
14 those wastes could come through our system and this is
15 something that we believe it Is under someone else's
16 jurisdiction and it should be completely handled by that
17 other jurisdiction.
18 As I pointed out, and maybe you didn't read
19 between the lines, when you talk about bringing more sewage
20 into the Sanitary District's system, if you are talking
21 rationally as v;e do, you are then talking about do we need
22 any more or any additional diversion water and the Sanitary
23 | District is not asking in its present case for any additional
24 | diversion water.
9
25 H We will rest our case with what we have, what
-------
we can do in improving our system.
This question you are raising about Hammond,
it impinges exactly upon that case.
I would like to add one other thing, our
waterway control engineer, upon whom I rely and do rely, says
that the bulk of the flow, the vast bulk of the flow is not
westerly now, but in an easterly direction from that Hammond
discharge. Incidentally, it really is a local decision
among Indiana, Illinois, the Sanitary District, if we can
10 make a working arrangement with Hammond to put the dam so
11 that its waste comes through our system. That is why we say
12 this is our decision.
13 If we don't take it in our channel system,
14 maybe Hammond will have to go to treatment with chlorination
15 which is technically and economically feasible. So, they
16 are not being deprived of anything and I think we are, Mr.
17 Poston. I must have this record clear, completely consistent
18 in this position that ia expressed here and it is completely
19 consistent with our lake diversion testimony and position.
20 MR. POSTON: It was brought out by Indiana people that
21 normally, under normal lake levels, the flow was from the
22 east to the west. The normal direction of the flow today,
23 during normal lake levels — I agree that the level of the
24 lake which is very low now might have a tendency to let the
25 flow go in this other direction.

MR. BACON: That little dam at Hammond will be sure
to make it go easterly.
I should add that the predictions and, with
your permission, Mr. Chairman, I would like - and I think
it would not only be of value, but of interest - to ask Mr.
Brown to make a statement of what the anticipated lake levels
are.
CHAIRMAN STEIN: You made the point. I didn't know this
was a straw man, but if you think your point is a valid one.
We don't nave jurisdiction over that dam location.
I don't know whoever said we did, or whether
you think we have jurisdiction or not, but we are sure not
going to solve it.
I know you engineers love to talk about dams
until the cows come home. But I suggest we might try to
get on, because if we get into a discussion —
MR. BACON: You are right, sir.
CHAIRMAN STEIN: I don't know.
MR. BACON: There is no place here we feel —
CHAIRMAN STEIN: Again, for the purpose of the record,
I think on that 65 days you talked about, the Thomas O'Brien
Lock — I have Colonel Mattina's statement, he says as
expected that the barrier dam, and I am not making any
guesses as to locations, can be completed in fiscal year
1966. This means a normal calendar year, talking 1967,
-------
possibly in setting up in any future estimate for dams, this
is an optimistic estimate and may be ahead. But, according
to Colonel Mattina, he indicated that the construction of
this would have to come first. This will permit removal of
the Blue Island Lock and the operation of the Thomas J.
O'Brien Lock and controlling works or full navigation —
MR. BACON: Understand, we are not talking about naviga-
tion. We don't care. We are talking about pollution control.
CHAIRMAN STEIN: I know that.
MR. POSTON: I think Colonel Chesrow pointed out one
of the goals of the Sanitary District is to keep the waters
as clean and pure as possible, and protect the health of the
people.
I am sure that the District will do what is
required to keep this water that way.
MR. BACON: I think the record of the District in its
total operation — we are not talking about —
CHAIRMAN STEIN: Looking at Colonel Mattina's statement,
he also pointed out that permits were issued by the Depart-
ment of the Army to certain steel companies, permitting
discharge and disposition of flue dust and industrial solids
in the Calumet River and requiring payment of an annual
amount of $25,000 for its removal.
This payment is to be reduced as the companies
decrease the deposit of solids into navigable waters and you
-------
8
9
10
11
12
1550
outlined the industrial waste on this in your program of —
you convinced the Corps of Engineers you decreased it, so that
they decreased the rate.
MR. BACON: Mr. Stein, you are a counsellor and I am not.
I only know that in my experience in water pollution control
administration the local body can have an overriding or a
more stringent or more demanding requirement than some other
element of government and the more demanding one controls.
I believe, although we haven't progressed this
far, if we need to make a more severe demand on the industry
for some removal that we have the right to do it under our
Industrial Waste Ordinance.
13 | CHAIRMAN STEIN: I fully agree with you.
14 I MR- BACON: I don't think they can give them a license
15 to pollute if we have control and responsibility of all
16 surface and underground waters. I agree that something
17 additional has to be done.
18 CHAIRMAN STEIN: That wasn't the thrust of the question.
19 MR. BACON: I am sorry.
20 CHAIRMAN STEIN: The point was that, based on the
2i waste they are putting in, the Corps was demanding $25>000
22 fl a year.
23 Now, if we had a program of waste reduction,
24 presumably the Corps is ready to cut that rate from $25,000
a year to something else.
-------
4
5
6
7
10
11
1551
But, the point Is, you are going to have to
show the Corps of Engineers you are putting less of this
material in the river.
MR. BACON: I don't know the answer to that question, sir
CHAIRMAN STEIN: Thank you.
Are there any other questions?
MR. KLASSEN: Purely to make the record as complete as
possible, last week the idea was advanced by, I believe,
one of the Indiana, industries of taking the wastes from
Indiana and, with sufficient diversion, flush them down
through Illinois.
12 Also, I believe it is a matter of record that
13 the Sanitary District feels that dilution, diversion of
14 some Lake waters, is essential to the operation of your
15 system and purely to afford you an opportunity to express a
16 view, Mr. Bacon, and because we recognize your competency
17 in this area, do you desire to put into the record any
18 opinion as to your feeling whether or not the Indiana situatio
19 can be resolved with a similar or increased diversion.
20 MR. BACON: Well, if the proper authorities set the
21 quality of water needed in Lake Michigan, which quality
22 cannot be exceeded, I mean, I think we have known technical
23 and economically feasible methods and I think, if they are
24 given water quality goals to be met, as any municipality,
25 they can be met.
-------
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
1552
I would say that if they were to go in
another direction in some diversion system of theirs that
they would have to solve the problem, then have a combination
of the degree of treatment and any dilution water available.
But, I want to make it very, very clear as far as the Sanitary
District is concerned, our position is that we have Lake
diversion cases, we have a system that is operating here, we
are not asking for more diversion water. We think we have
the proper amounts and probably the minimum amount, and this
is our case.
Vie would not want to mix, under any circum-
stances, a question of wastes coming through our system and
would dilution or diversion water be necessary.
MR. KLASSEN: Thank you. I have one other point, Mr.
Chairman.
Last week there was testimony, I believe by
17 the Superintendent of Sewage Treatment Plant at Gary, that
18 as late as I960, Gary had been building combined sewers and
19 the city engineer at Hammond, on the other hand, testified
20 that progressively they were supplementing their combined
21 sewer system with separate systems.
22 I wondered if you would care to put into the
23 record the policy of the Sanitary District on this question
24 of expansion of the sewer system to combined or separate
25 I plan?
-------
1553
1 MR. BACON: Well, as it pertains to the Calumet Region
area under study, our policy has been and, although we are
3 looking toward making it more definitive and sharpening up
4 on it in the near future, we hope not to albw the extension
5 of a combined sewerage system.
6 In other words, to effect separation as quickly
7 as possible. But, I think we feel that where a community
8 II
"is basically built up on a combined system, it is practically
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
17
18
19
20
21
22
23
24
25
9 impossible and not economical to make the separation just
by going out and saying, "Tomorrow we separate. We get the
money and go at it."
We feel that the way to separate those sewers
is to take advantage of every renewal project, every improve-
ment.
lie are advocating that if you are in a
combined sewer area and a large subdivision goes in, that
it develop on a separate system of the sanitary sewer and the
storm sewer, even if those two pipes connect into a combined
sewer, because you have at least effected that kind of
separation. Later on, when that bigger pipe, the one taking
the two is rebuilt or enlarged, you can affect the further
separation.
But, it is one of those things that in a built-
up area, it is almost impossible, we feel, and uneconomical
and impossible by virtue of traffic and everything else to go
-------
8
9
10
14
15
16
17
18
19
20
21
22
23
in and convert a system.
But, certainly, we feel you should have a
policy of not allowing the extension of combined sewerage
systems. You should affect the separation every chance you
get.
CHAIRMAN STEIN: Do you, in fact, do that? When they
rip up a street or something of that kind, do you do that
if you can?
MR. BACON: Mr. Stein, we are just at the present time,
the Board is working on this matter of what to do, how
11 I stringent to be in the combined, versus the separation
12 | program.
13 I Let me say --
CHAIRMAN STEIN: Yes?
MR. BACON: I see you raising your finger.
CHAIRMAN STEIN: I realize how difficult this is.
MR. BACON: Here is what you are up against: An area
on a combined sewerage system, a developer comes in and
logically want to keep the costs down. Since he is close to
a combined system, it is mighty hard to convince him he ought
to put in two pipes, because it is going to cost a lot more
money.
We have a highly developed area where they are
24 I going to start putting in sewers and the argument will be,
|
25 Everything else is combined, why can't we put in another
-------
9
10
11

17
18
19
20
21
22

25
1555
300 acres on a combined system?'
This is a policy decision that the Board must
make. We are operating what we think is the general prin-
ciple of the State Water Board, although it is outside oJ
their jurisdiction, where we do not allow the continuation
of combined sewer installation.
CHAIRMAN STEIN: I recognize that, Mr. Bacon, and I
recognize how difficult the problem is.
However, I know we have had with a program
like this perhaps as much experience in Washington, D.C.
under Dave Ault as anybody.
What he is trying to do is a/ery time a street
gets ripped up for paving or something of that sort, to see
if he can come in there with a separation program, absolutely
not permitting any new building without this.
However, even under those circumstances, it is
estimated that it is going to take 100 years for them to
complete it. I think this is one of the most difficult
problems in combined sewers we have in the older major
cities, because in order to do the job all at once, if it
could be done — and I guess if you give these engineers enougfi
money, they can do most anything you rip the city up so
you would have to close it to all automobile and truck
traffic for the next 15 years and the cure would be worse
than the disease.
-------
10
1556
But, unless we get some kind of dramatic re-
search breakthrough on treating these wastes from combined
sewers we won't make much progress. There really has to be
some program instituted.
Now, I should say you have our full sympathy
6 I and our full support in anything you possibly can do on this.
MR. KLASSEN: Pine, I hope you will not leave any
impression in this area of the country that it is going to
take 100 years before the pollution of the Potomac is
cleaned up.

14

16
17
18
19
20
21
22
23
24
25
We had hoped that the Nations Capitol would
embark on a program to do this much sooner.
CHAIRMAN STEIN: We are going to have that pollution
cleaned up In the Potomac by 1966. If you would adopt the
same time schedule for Lake Michigan, I think we could
adjourn right now.
MR. BACON: I would like to say another word about
these combined sewers.
We certainly know that what you say is true.
It is Impossible within a hundred years. It is estimated —
and the figure was entered into the Lake Diversion testimony
for the City of Chicago — to separate sewers it would cost
$2,200,000,000 and It would take many, many years.
There are other things that might be done. The
certain key points anyway in an overflow system we might try
-------
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
17
18
19

22
23
24
25
1557
a short time or shock treatment of some kind, chlorination
for 15 or 20 minute settling or something - some such method
might be used. We have a few critical points in our system,
some in this area, I believe, where this might be done.
So, we certainly are looking forward to that
type of storm water overflow treatment program in the near
future, at least in a few spots. I do not want to bring
flood control systems into this, but actually in our area,
the question of stormwater combined sewers could be solved
if we can get a storage project that we have in mind under
way here.
It is in the very far-out realm now, but
nevertheless, we know that we have a plan that would work
if we could afford it.
CHAIRMAN STEIN: I recognize that.
By the way, Mr.Klassen, there is being finished
in Washington now a $75,000,000 interceptor sewer to handle
the stormwater problem and this is more expensive than the
plant. We had to put that right along the banks of the
Potomac River ~ from Haynes Point and the Blue Plains Plant
21 I up to Chain Bridge if you are familiar with the area.
This was laying sewer and digging up some of the most
beautiful land in the District then covering it up again,
just to handle the stormwater problem.
I think, as Mr. Bacon points out, we are faced
-------
1558
with the dereliction and the science of a century. In order
to handle that, we need heroic efforts and a lot of money.
This is a problem that is so hard to solve, I think, that
it is one that we are all going to have to work on very
5 | closely together.
MR. POSTON: I see you are doing construction at the
Calumet Sewage Treatment Plant.

during this construction period?
Are units of the plant taken out of operation?
This is always a problem in smaller plants.
How do you handle it?
13 8 MR. BACON: We don't have to, because, you see, you are
talking about the photograph you showed the other day, showing
the condition of aerating Battery No. C. We have A and B
running. They run all the time. I don't know if we would
have a matter of a few hours of cutting over or if so, we
ordinarily would make those connections without any loss of —
we don't ordinarily have that as a problem, Mr. Poston.
You see, we got multi-plants already.
MR. POSTON: I would like to ask further about the
individual effluent data.
I noticed that you didn't give this on specific
industries. Would you be willing to give it to the Public
Health Service, the information on individual effluents from

Industries relative to the amounts of waste?
MR. BACON: Well, we will not give out any information
that has been given to us. If it has been given to us in
confidence or with the understanding that it not be released,
we will refer you back to the parties concerned.
I think — may I comment on this a little
7 further?
CHAIRMAN STEIN: Go right ahead.
9 I MR. BACON: I think you are making a mountain out of a
10 ti mole hill on this matter of release of data.
I think we are all working toward the same goal
and we are playing the game fairly and we are not embarrassing
one another, I have never found a problem getting industry
data.
I know what happened here a few days ago. I
think we got everything we need. Furthermore, what we don't
need, we can go out and pick up in the waterway ourselves if
we want to.
I mean, after all, we know what's in the water-
way. I feel — and I hope to leave the impression in the
Sanitary District and with our dischargers — we are one of
the co-conferees here; we can work out this problem as to
what we need to work with and what data they give us or
what they withhold. But, certainly, to answer your question,
we will not release data other than our own without the
-------
1560
permission of those furnishing it.
I say, I don't think there is any quarrel, as
I indicated —
CHAIRMAN STEIN: I would like to agree in large part to
what you said. As you know, we both have been working in
this field for many, many years. We have had these enforce-
6
ment conferences involving more than 700 industries. Until
the last few, and I wouldn't say this is all the steel mills,
O
but until we ran into a few of the steel companies, we never

had this problem either.
Now, as I understand this, our industrial
waste expert, who is here now, Mr. Hayse Black, says we
need the data and he needs it; for his evaluation. As I
understood Perry Miller of Indiana, he indicated he needed
the data.
I can see no way — I have no — all I am
interested in is getting water clean enough for a maximum
number of possible uses and taking into account all legitim—
ate uses. But if the best engineering people we have in the
Public Health Service, state, local or Federal, and as you
probably do feel you need the data, I think if this is a
prerequisite for our technical staff, then we have to make
provision to get it.
MR. BACON: I think we need the data. I don't think we
have had any problem. Sometimes we have to arrange taking a
-------
1561
sampling and testing probe a great deal in order to satisfy
the wishes of industry. But we are not wanting for control
data and I hasten to point out that, if we are talking about
one thing we want to protect, namely; the receiving water
when it comes down to the final analysis, we wouldn*t care
how they treat their waste deposit — from tea cup to tea
cup — as long as they maintain the conditions.
CHAIRMAN STEIN: You are interested in the effluent?
MR. BACON: We want effluent data because we can help
an Industry in its design when it comes down to it. If we
are talking about what we are trying to protect, the
receiving waters, we would set our standard on that basis.
CHAIRMAN STEIN: We can set it on both bases.
The point is, from a Federal point of view,
you know there is a difference of opinion among the states.
Some like effluent standards, some like stream standards or
criteria. Some like a combination of the two.
Prom the point of view of the Federal program,
this is the question of local option as long as it protects
the water uses.
We don't particularly care. But our technical
people indicate to us that in order to carry this out this
is a matter of public waters and should be a matter of public
information. I know in the operation of our program on a
National level, since these are our objectives, we have no

basis for getting any information on a confidential basis.
We have no use for it.
MR. BACON: You know, there is one point you haven't
made here, that probably is the greatest argument.
I will take your side for a moment.
For having effluent knowledge, data on
effluents, that is where your effluents overlap. For
regulatory purposes, you very often have to know who is
contributing what, because after they get mixed up in the
receiving water, it is pretty tough to hold one company
responsible for one discharge or one municipality responsible
after the wastes are co-mingled, which very often happens.
But, again, I think vie are talking about two
different methods of water pollution control either on the
receiving water or the effluents and we will use both, of
course.
CHAIRMAN STEIN: I don't think that's been overlooked,
Mr. Bacon.
I think we both agree this is our prime concern
You see, the problem that we have here is, if an industry
21 I says it is doing a good Job and it isn't contributing to
pollution and doesn't put out the data, our job is not only
to find the damage at the point of use, but we have to pin-
point the source.
In community after community, and I wouldn't
-------
1563
say the presentation here has been very much different,
collectively, we know or everyone can see perhaps through
the back door, that we just might have a little problem.
Yet, everyone of the potential or alleged waste dischargers
gets up and says it must be some one else, not us. "We are
providing wonderful treatment."
Of course, they don't tell you what they are
putting out, they tell you what they have done in construction
MR. BACON: Mr. Stein, rest assured you can have all
of the data we have that belongs to us and we have lots of it.
MR. KLASSEN: Mr. Chairman, I was in the midst of this
the other day. I would Just like to comment on this point.
So far as the Illinois Sanitary Water Board is
concerned, this has never been a problem with industry. We
get the information and work with them.
You mentioned Mr. Black. Mr. Black was trained
in Illinois and I don't believe that he ever had this
difficulty.
I do want to offer, however, to industries a
practical suggestion that has been our experience.
I know the argument is raised and sometimes
valldly that, by disclosing the material or the amounts of
the material in an effluent, their competitors might get
information concerning production and products that might
be detrimental to their own industry.
-------
1564
I will offer to the industry a real solution
to this. If you remove from your effluent all the material,
then there is no way that your competitor could ever find
4 I out what your product is.
5 I CHAIRMAN STEIN: Are there any other further comments or
B I questions?
7 I (No response.)
8 I If not, thank you very much, Mr. Bacon,for an
g | excellent presentation.
10 | MR. BACON: Thank you for the opportunity to be with you.
§
H I MR. CHESROW: Mr. Chairman, in closing, I would like to
12 g point out that our deliberations of the last few days
1
13 B concerning the pollution of the Southern basin of Lake
14 I Michigan have offered a penetrating picture of the abuse
B
15 I of one of man's most precious possessions; namely, what might
16
17
well be a limitless source of fresh water. These same
deliberations have conclusively revealed that man is bent
18 I on dissipating this God-given treasure and that unless we
I
19 B take drastic action, the lake waters and beaches will be
20 | lost to us forever.
21 I We have learned that the people of Indiana,
22 I as well as those Inhabitants of Illinois, are equally
23
24
concerned over the future of this great body of water; that
officials representing these people are determined to put
25 an end to this desecration of one of nature's proudest
-------
1565
possessions, and the Inhuman obliteration by the poisoning
of our waterfowl, fish and plant life.
Now, first, let us consider who or what is
responsible for this outrage that is proving so costly to
us.
Let me say at the outset that The Metropolitan
Sanitary District of Greater Chicago has been fighting
pollution of Lake Michigan for three-quarters of a century
and has pioneered many engineering feats ... resulting in
many major victories in the war against contamination. We
have made outstanding progress up to the existing limits of
the science of Sanitary Engineering, but, even this leaves
much to be desired .. and is still not sufficient.
The cities and towns bordering on the lake
are not doing a good job ! State agencies are unable to cope
satisfactorily with the issues because of the interstate
problems involved, much as these agencies would want to meet
their responsibilities.
It has been pointed out in this conference that
among the offenders are many large and distinguished Industrie^
that have contributed much to the development and welfare of
this great area. I am confident that their officials and
directors are men of understanding and good will, and will
want to do as many have already done, join with us in meeting
our responsibility to our neighbors and to the generations
-------
8
1566
to come. Working together as a team, without recrimination
and petty bickering, we can assure the residents of Illinois
and Indiana a plentiful supply of pure water to which they
are entitled.
The HEW and the supporting data from the
USPHS and the other agencies is a conscientious approach,
long awaited. It recognizes the population and industrial
factors and the complexity of the situation. It recognizes
also that the waters in question know no boundaries.
10 This conference has very pointedly borne out
11 that the facts here a?e very real and very dangerous and that
12 we are on the very brink of destroying our lake forever.
13 If we are to protect Lake Michigan, this God-
14 given resource, which is ours to enjoy and not destroy,
15 immediate steps must be taken to achieve this end, and so I
16 would ask:
17 (l) That the Federal Government which called
18 this conference following a four year study, immediately take
19 action to enforce compliance with antipollution controls
20 under authority granted to the Department of HEW by Congress.
21 (p) That the HEW "recommendations for
22 corrective action needed" to be acted upon before adjourn-
23 ment. The residents of this area have already waited too
24 long .. they are tired of surveys, studies and conferences
25 and want action now .. not after all our waterfowl, fish,
-------
156?
1 plant life, beaches and, most important of all, the source
2 of our drinking water are lost to us forever.
(3) In addition to the HEW recommendations,
we should recognize that uniform standards setting up
maximum limits of pollution are needed and must be established
by Federal authority, including regulatory controls of sewage
treatment plants to curtail the discharge of untreated
sewage into Lake Michigan and our waterways.
(4) We realize that with all the means at our
command, complete treatment is still insufficient; we have
every right to expect the highest degree of secondary treat-
ment of sewage, measuring up to such standards as the
Federal Government may set forth for both private industry
and public agencies.
We have no other choice at this time. We
must obtain action now and we must obtain it through Federal
channels by enforcement through the Department of Health,
Education, and Welfare. The HEW recommendation that, ?all
waste be disinfected before discharge," is personally a
welcome one, because it substantiates a second reommendation
made by me in a paper to the Board of Trustees of the
Metropolitan Sanitary District of Greater Chicago in 1952. Th
first was on the need for an Industrial Waste Ordinance which
I was glad to sign, as President, ten (10) years later, in
July of 1962.

President Johnson recently asked us all, "to
organize for action and rebuild and reclaim the beauty we
inherited."
As President of the Metropolitan Sanitary
District, I will do everything within my power and use every
means to make sure that we keep our Lake water free of
pollution.
Ladies and gentlemen, let us put aside petty
differences and personal gain, and rebuild and reclaim our
waters for a more beautiful and more healthful tomorrow!
CHAIRMAN STEIN: Thank you, Colonel Chesrow, for a
very excellent statement.
Anything that I would say would be an
anticlamatic remark.
Are there any comments or questions?
MR. KLASSEN. Not on this, Mr. Chairman, but before
we close, I want to ask one question.
CHAIRMAN STEIN: Does that complete the Sanitary District'
presentation?
MR. CHESROW: Yes.
21 CHAIRMAN STEIN: Thank you very much, Colonel.
22 This was a certainly significant contribution
23 to the conference and I certainly appreciate it.
24 Mr. Klassen?
25 MR. KLASSEN: This merely, Mr. Chairman, in order that
-------
1569
the conference record will show that some thought has been
given to this, we have talked, pointed our fingers at
industries and cities and about everything else, but we do
know with the increase in shipping, that the problem of
sanitary wastes and wastes from shipping such as oil, bilge,
what-not, is and will continue to be a problem and I think
that some place in the conference record, cognizance should
be taken of this problem.
I think this is probably within the purview of
10 the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare to come up
11 with some active program in this area.
12 I want to interject this so it would not be
13 overlooked;
u CHAIRMAN STEIN: Well, I wish I could be as sure as you
15 are.
16 I think Mr. Poole heard me make a speech on
17 this several months ago. I wasn't so certain, was I?
18 MR. POOLE: No.
19 CHAIRMAN STEIN: We have the right to do it.
20 With that, I am sure the conferees will
2i consider that along with the other problems discussed in
22 the session that we are going to have.
23 Now, we can expedite matters by trying to be
24 back here in an hour. May I ask that the conferees stay in
25 the room. You may be assured we are getting close to the
time to adjourn. But the people in the roomshould be
-------
1570
leaving as soon as possible, because the sooner you get out —
2 | and this isn't meant as an invitation to push you - the
sooner we can get started working. We will reconvene at
12:35 with an announcement we hope.
5 Thank you.
6 (Whereupon the proceedings in the above
entitled matter were continued until 12:35 p.m.)
8 CHAIRMAN STEIN: May we reconvene.
g I do think this conference has been one of the
10 most successful and this may be in spite of or because we
11 have been dealing with one of the most complicated problems
12 we have run into. I think and I can look at the table here,
13 most of the conferees have had at least 20 years experience
14
17
18
19
2i
22
23
25
each in this field
I don't want to identify any of them, but some
18 of them have had considerably more and I think we, for years,
have all known that this problem in the southern end of Lake
Michigan that we have attempted to solve and get out of the
way today was going to be one of our most challenging.
I think that we have to give full consideration
and credit to the State agencies and the Sanitary District
for their full cooperation and for the others participating
in the conference—municipalities, industries, waterworks
24 I operators and so forth.
I would particularly like to single out
-------
1571
Hy Gerstein's presentation because we here had an agency that
was not a regulatory agency, charged by law to come up with
a report giving us one of the most comprehensive, informative
and deeply analytical reports that I have seen presented in
the field of water pollution control, by any agency or any
scientist, or whatever they may be and this has been most
helpful.
I do think that the transcript of this
9 conference, when it becomes available, will no doubt be a
10 very, very bulky document. But I do think it will be a
11 repository for some excellent information. As a matter of
12 fact, this may rank as one of the best of the municipal,
13 industrial symposia on record and I do think that we have
14 made an enviable record of putting together information and
15 various views here.
16 I also must say and I would like to compliment
17 the participants and the conferees for handling their time
18 and that of their invitees and participants in the way
19 they have.
20 I think the percentage of the pertinent and
21 germane material presented at this conference is probably
22 the highest that I have ever seen and this, Indeed, is a
23 compliment.
24 While the conference went a little wild and
25 was a little long, I think, by and large, all of the material
was germane, pertinent and to the point.

Now, as you can appreciate, the conferees have
been discussing this matter from time to time as the state-
ments came in
There was a preliminary meeting on Saturday
of the conferees when some ideas were worked out.
It was recognized that most of the information
coming from the Chicago Water Works, from the Federal
Government and from Indiana was in them, and the picture
was beginning to emerge. It was obvious that we would have
to wait, certainly to hear from the Sanitary District and
representing itself and the industry within its jurisdiction
before complete and definitive conclusions and recommendations
could be made by the conferees.
By this process, the conferees were able to
preliminarily assess their thoughts of a day or two where
these could mature and they could reflect on them and suggest
revisions. We do have the benefit of the excellent presenta-
18 tion of the Sanitary District of Mr. Chesrow and his staff
19 and Vinton Bacon and arrived at conclusions and recommendation
20 I am pleased to report that the conclusions
21 and recommendations of the conferees are unanimous and this
22 was arrived at by a discussion and concensus. No vote was
23 ever needed.
24 I think the presentations were so excellent, the
25 type of men we have as conferees and the professional dis-
-------
1573
clpline that they have prevailed, so the conclusions and
recommendations almost wrote themselves.
The unanimous conclusions and recommendations
of the conferees are as follows:
1. Interstate pollution endangering the
health and welfare of persons in a state other than that
where the discharges originate exists in the waters of the
Grand Calumet River, Little Calumet River, Lake Michigan
and their tributaries.
Such pollution is subject to abatement under
the Federal Water Pollution Control Act.
2. Sewage and industrial waste from sources
in Indiana, the Little Calumet River area and Grand Calumet
area and Indiana Harbor area, contribute to such interstate
pollution in Illinois.
3. There is no evidence of such interstate
pollution from discharges in the Burns Ditch area in Indiana.
4. Municipal and industrial waste from
sources in the Calumet area in Illinois contributes to such
interstate pollution in Indiana.
5. Cognizance is taken of the efforts in both
states to abate such interstate pollution, but action taken
to date is not adequate and such interstate pollution still
exists.
6. The nature of the delays in abating such
-------
12
13
14
15
16
17
1574
interstate pollution include the complexity of the problem
and the concentration of population and industry.
7. To initiate a program of immediate remedial
action to protect water quality in the area for the maximum
number of legitimate uses, the conferees will use as a guide
for water quality at the Chicago Water Works intakes the
"Recommended Quality Criteria: Goals Lake Water at Chicago
8 I Intakes," which was presented as an attachment to the findings
|
9 and conclusions and recommendations presented by the Depart-
10 ment of Water and Sewers of the City of Chicago at this
11 conference.
21
22
24
25
The conferees will use as a guide for bacterial
water quality at bathing beaches covered by this conference
the requirement that receiving water shall be considered
unsuitable for bathing if the coliform concentration exceeds
1000 per 100 milliliters.
8. The conferees will establish a technical
18 committee as soon as possible which will evaluate water
19 B quality criteria and related matters in the area covered by
I
20 B the conference and make recommendations to the conferees
within six months after the issuance of the summary of the
conference.
23 | 9. The Indiana Stream Pollution Control
Board, the Illinois Sanitary Water Board and the Metropolitan
Sanitary District of Greater Chicago will institute immediate
-------
1575
action in their respective jurisdictions that all sewage re-
ceive at least secondary treatment plus adequate effluent
disinfection within one year after the issuance of the summary
of the conference.
10. The Indiana Stream Pollution Control Board,
the Illinois Sanitary Water Board and the Metropolitan
Sanitary District of Greater Chicago will institute immediate
action in their respective jurisdictions to insure that
industries will institute housekeeping practices which will
minimize the discharge of wastes from industrial sources and
to insure optimum operation of sewerage systems and sewage
treatment facilities to minimize by-passing of sewage treat-
ment plants or other practices that result in the discharge of
untreated or partially treated wastes and report on these
activities to the conferees within six months after the issu-
ance of the summary of this conference.
11. The Indiana Stream Pollution Control Board,
the Illinois Sanitary Water Board, the Metropolitan Sanitary
District of Greater Chicago will undertake action to insure
that industrial plants discharging wastes into waters within
their respective Jurisdictions institute programs of sampling
their effluents to provide information about waste outputs
needed by these agencies in the carrying out of their
functions.
Such information will be maintained in open
-------
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
17
18
19
1576
files by these agencies for those having a legitimate interest
in the information and the agencies will report to the
conferees on this activity within six months after the
issuance of the summary of this conference.
12. The Indiana Stream Pollution Control
Board, the Illinois Sanitary Water Board, and the Metropolitan
Sanitary District of Greater Chicago, maintaining close
liaison with the technical committee created by the conferees
will develop a time schedule for the construction of
necessary industrial waste treatment facilities.
Such a schedule will be submitted to the
conferees for their consideration within six months after
the issuance of the summary of this conference.
13. The Thomas J. O'Brien Lock be placed in
operation to protect water quality of Lake Michigan and
prevent backflow to the Lake. This should be done as soon
as possible, but not later than January 1, 1966.
14. Surveillance will be the primary
responsibility of the Indiana Stream Pollution Control
20 D Board, the Illinois Sanitary Water Board, and the Metropolitan
21
22
23
24
25
Sanitary District of Greater Chicago.
The Department of Health, Education, and
Welfare will make available a resident technical group and
visiting groups of experts which will assist the state
agencies and the Metropolitan Sanitary District of Greater

-------
1576-3
We have purposely omitted the parameter "odor
threshold" number because of differences which exist in the
3 | effectiveness of water treatments for removing various types
of odors from the water. It has been our experience that It
is more difficult to reduce a "hydrocarbon" type odor of 6
threshold intensity to an acceptable level, than an algae-
type odor of 15 threshold intensity.
We are therefore, suggesting that natural
ii
9 algae odors be omitted from these parameters, and set a
10 maximum goal of a threshold odor number of 6 in the intake
II water for odors produced by industrial waste pollution with
12 the particular caution to be observed that the odors so
13 caused should always be of such nature as to come within the
14 capacity of a conventional water treatment plant for their
15 removal.

21 The summary will be issued in accordance with

I
25 To my mind we have taken a great step toward
-------
1576-c
cleaning up pollution of our end of Lake Michigan and the
tributaries thereto.
I think for all concerned, states, Sanitary
District and the Federal Government, this indeed is a mile-
stone in our respective pollution control programs.
Thank you all for coming and the first
session of the conference stands adjourned.
