REGIONAL ADMINISTRATOR'S
ANNUAL REPORT
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
IN NEW ENGLAND
AUGUST 1975
-------
From the Regional Administrator:
This report discusses four major areas of environmental concern for
New England: air quality, surface water quality, drinking water
quality, and solid waste management. A principal feature of the
report concerns the comparison between existing environmental quality
and officially adopted standards. This comparison is particularly
significant when it impacts human health. There is both good news
and bad in the report. There are substantial areas of improvement,
but much remains to be done. For the most significant accomplishment,
we can point to attainment of the National Ambient Air Quality
Standards for sulfur oxides at 159 of the 160 sulfur oxides monitoring
stations across the region. Among the negative evidence, the most
serious items include data showing that over half of the major river
mileage in New England is in violation of water quality standards,
that the National Ambient Air Quality Standard for photochemical
oxidants was exceeded at every monitoring station during 1974, that
only 30 percent of the region's solid waste disposal facilities meet
State standards, and that lead contamination, poor bacteriological
quality, and elevated chlorides concentrations within some of our
public water supplies pose a threat to public health.
Much of the report is based upon analyses of federal data, but even
more is based upon information developed by the official State
environmental agencies in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New
Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
This report does not specifically refer to the qualitative or aesthetic
aspects of good environment. However, it is becoming more and more
evident that a qualitative appreciation of the environment is basic
to New England's two major industriestourism and manufacturing.
Tourism alone is currently a $3 billion a year industry in this
region. The link between tourism and a good environment is clear.
Millions of visitors are attracted by New England's unique scenic
and recreational values, including a relatively unspoiled coastline
and sparkling lakes.
Environmental quality is also crucial to the region's manufacturing
interests. The sophisticated technology industries in the region
could be located anywhere in the nation, yet they choose to locate
in New England. One of the most significant factors in this decision
is the quality of the New England environment. The economy and the
environment in New England are irrevocably linked. Enhancing the
environment enhances the region's economy.
Of equal importance are environmental measures to protect ecological
balances and to assure the citizens' right to enjoy the outdoor world.
-------
In this regard, such fundamental goals as the protection of endangered
species and the conservation of wetland areas must be assured even
though progress toward these goals is not easily measured in
statistical terms.

AIR QUALITY
The true test of air quality is whether or not National Ambient Air Quality
Standards are met. When pollutant concentrations are greater than those
prescribed by primary standards, people risk their health with every breath
they-take. When secondary standards are not met, economic damage can result and
aesthetic values are compromised.
Primary standards to protect public health have been established for sulfur
oxides, particulate matter, carbon monoxide, photochemical oxidants,and nitrogen
dioxide; and secondary standards to protect general welfare have been established
for these same pollutants. For carbon monoxide, photochemical oxidants and
nitrogen dioxide, primary and secondary standards are identical. For sulfur
oxides and particulate matter, the secondary standards are somewhat more
stringent than the primary.
Based upon an analysis of 1974 calendar-year monitoring data, both the
primary and secondary sulfur oxide standards have been achieved in New England
except at a single reporting station in Rutland, Vermont, where the 24-hour
primary standard was exceeded on two occasions in October, 1974.
Throughout 1974, the primary standard for particulate matter was met
throughout Connecticut and Maine. Occasional violations of the particulate
standard were recorded in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island,and Vermont.
The secondary standard for particulates was exceeded on several occasions in each
of the six States.
The 8-hour primary standard for carbon monoxide was violated at 22 of the 25
reporting stations in New England during the past calendar year. The one-hour
carbon monoxide primary standard, however, was met at 24 of the 25 stations. The
single exception was in East Boston near the Callahan Tunnel.
The primary standard for photochemical oxidants was exceeded at every
monitoring station in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island,
and Vermont during 1974. This pollutant is not currently monitored in Maine.
The primary standard for nitrogen dioxide was achieved at all stations in
Connecticut, Maine, and New Hampshire during 1974. Occasional violations were
recorded in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Vermont does not monitor nitrogen
dioxide.
Sulfur Oxides Data Summary
The annual primary standard for sulfur oxides specifies a maximum yearly
average concentration of 80 micrograms per cubic meter of air. At all 160
sampling sites in New England, the annual average sulfur oxides concentration
was better than the standard in 1974.
The 24-hour primary standard for sulfur oxides requires that a 24-hour
average concentration of 365 micrograms per cubic meter not be exceeded more than
once per year. In 1974, this standard was violated at only one of New England's
160 sulfur oxides sampling stations. On October 22 and 25, 1974, 24-hour average
concentrations of 450 and 470 micrograms per cubic meter, respectively, were
measured in Rutland, Vermont.
-------
The 3-hour secondary standard for sulfur oxides has been set at 1,300
micrograms per cubic meter of air. This standard was not exceeded in New England
during 1974.
Particulate Matter Data Summary
During 1974, the annual primary standard for particulate matter of 75
micrograms per cubic meter was achieved everywhere in Connecticut and Maine,
but occasional violations did occur in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island
and Vermont. The highest annual particulate matter concentration in New England
in 1974 (a geometric mean of 90 micrograms per cubic meter) was measured at a
station in Worcester, Massachusetts. Sampling stations in Berlin, New Hampshire,
and Providence, Rhode Island, reported annual geometric mean concentrations of
88 micrograms per cubic meter of air.
The 24-hour particulate matter primary standard is 260 micrograms per cubic
meter, not to be exceeded more than once per year. This value was not exceeded
at any sampling station in Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, or Rhode Island
during 1974. Violations were recorded, however, at two stations in Massachusetts
and one station in Vermont. Seven violations were recorded at one station in
Worcester, Massachusetts. On one occasion at this station, a 24-hour particulate
matter concentration of 637 micrograms per cubic meter was measuredthe high
for New England in 1974.
The 24-hour secondary standard for particulates is 150 micrograms per cubic
meter, not to be exceeded more than once per year. During 1974, violations of
this standard were measured in all six New England States, at 34 of the region's
209 particulate matter monitoring stations. '
Carbon Monoxide Data Summary
The 8-hour primary standard for carbon monoxide establishes a limit of 10
milligrams per cubic meter of air which is not to be exceeded more than once
per year. In 1974, this standard was violated in each New England State at 22
of the 25 reporting monitors. The highest single 8-hour average concentration
measured at any New England station in 1974 was 28.6 milligrams per cubic meter,
monitored in New Britain, Connecticut.
The one-hour primary carbon monoxide standard is 40 milligrams per cubic
meter, not to be exceeded more than once per year. During the past calendar
year, this standard was violated only at the East Boston station in Massachusetts,
where a one-hour value of 63.0 milligrams per cubic meter was recorded.
Photochemical Oxidant Data Summary
The one-hour photochemical oxidant primary standard is 160 micrograms per
cubic meter. This standard was repeatedly violated in 1974 at every one of the
30 monitoring stations in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island
and Vermont. Maine does not monitor photochemical oxidants. The highest single
one-hour concentration recorded in New England during 1974 was 710 micrograms
per cubic meter, measured at a Middletown, Connecticut sampling station. The
greatest frequency of violations occurred at a station in Fall River, Massachusetts,
where the standard was exceeded 526 times during 1974.
-------
Nitrogen Dioxide Data Summary
The annual primary standard for nitrogen dioxide is 100 micrograms per cubic
meter. This standard was met everywhere in Connecticut, Maine,and New Hampshire
during 1974. The standard was violated at two of 55 reporting stations in
Massachusetts and one of 21 stations in Rhode Island. Vermont does not monitor
this pollutant. The highest recorded annual average in New England in 1974 was
128 micrograms per cubic meter at the Kenmore Square station in Boston.
Where the Air is Cleanest
At a monitoring station in Acadia National Park, Maine, the measured sulfur
oxides geometric mean for all of 1974 was only 6 micrograms per cubic meter of
air and the corresponding particulate matter value was only 20 micrograms per
cubic meter. At Maynard, Massachusetts, the annual sulfur oxides concentration
geometric mean was 5 micrograms per cubic meter, with the annual particulate
matter concentration geometric mean being only 23 micrograms per cubic meter.
No other New England monitoring station reported lower levels of both sulfur
oxides and particulate matter, although Coos County, New Hampshire, and Richmond,
Rhode Island had annual particulate geometric means of 15 and 23 micrograms per
cubic meter, respectively.
No strikingly low photochemical oxidants, nitrogen dioxide, or carbon
monoxide data was reported from any of the New England monitoring stations.
Conclusions
The 1974 data show that with the exception of Rutland, Vermont, the primary
and secondary standards for sulfur oxides have been attained, due to State
regulatory limitations on the sulfur content of fuel used for power generation,
industrial activities, and commercial and home heating. Because the standards
protect public health, it is essential that once attained, they be maintained.
In areas where sulfur oxide levels are well below the standard, States
should implement significant deterioration regulations which allow for continued
economic development in a controlled fashion, in order to maintain compliance
with the standard.
In the one area where violations of the standard did occur, Rutland, Vermont,
the State of Vermont has initiated a study to determine the cause of the violation.
Once this has been determined, the necessary remedial action must be undertaken.
Although the sulfur oxide problem seems to be under control throughout New
England, with the exception of Rutland, there is growing evidence that levels of
sulfuric acid and particulate sulfates, which are associated with sulfur oxide
emissions, and for which no standards have yet been established, may pose a threat
to public health in the heavily populated sections of the region. Any increase
in sulfur oxide emissions, even within the limitations of the standard, may result
in potentially harmful levels of sulfates and sulfuric acid.
Although progress has been made in attaining particulate standards, violations
of primary standards occurred in all States except Connecticut and Maine, and
the secondary standards were violated in every State. Particulate matter sources
are both varied and complex, and their control is difficult. However, a strong
effort must be maintained to control particulates, especially in areas in which
the primary standards are now being violated.
-------
Exhaust from gasoline powered automobile engines is the principal source
of carbon monoxide. Widespread violations of the' 8-hour primary standard for
carbon monoxide indicate that additional controls on automobiles will be necessary.
The Federal Motor Vehicle Emission Control Program, which establishes limitations
on emissions from new automobiles, will be a major factor in reducing carbon
monoxide levels as more and more new vehicles are placed in service, but in some
areas the heavy volume of automobile traffic will result in continuing primary
standard violations. In these areas, controls on automobile use will be required.
Transportation control plans imposing such controls now exist in the Boston and
Springfield Air Quality Control Regions and are being developed in Rhode Island
and Connecticut. Further analyses of violations elsewhere may reveal' the need
for similar plans in many areas of New England.
Another major control program to reduce carbon monoxide emissions is
inspection and maintenance of motor vehicles. Ultimately, statewide inspection
and maintenance programs may be required in every New England State.
The 1974 data show frequent violations of the photochemical oxidant standard
in every State, with the exception of Maine, where this pollutant is not monitored.
Because this pollutant is so widespread, monitoring should be implemented in
Maine. Photochemical oxidants result from complicated chemical reactions between
reactive hydrocarbons and sunlight. Thus, increased control of hydrocarbon
emissions from both industrial sources and motor vehicles, including transportation
control plans, may have to be implemented in every State before this standard
can be attained.

SURFACE WATER QUALITY
For surface water, the Federal Water Pollution Control Act establishes a
national goal of "...water quality which provides for the protection and
propagation of fish, shellfish, and wildlife and provides for recreation in
and on the water" to be achieved by July 1, 1983. The Act further requires
that water quality standards adopted by each State be achieved by 1977 as an
interim goal. Generally, the standards for New England rivers, lakes and coastal
areas provide for fishable-swimnable waters, except in heavily urbanized or
industrialized areas.
State water quality standards vary according to the category of use for
the surface waters involved. Class A waters are suitable for drinking water
use without further treatment except simple disinfection. Class B waters are
fit for swimming and fishing, and Class C waters can be used for fishing, but
not swimming. By these definitions, only Class A and Class B waters would
meet the national goal described in the first paragraph.
In addition to use categories, water quality standards specify criteria
which must be met to insure that uses are maintained. Numerical or narrative
criteria are stated for chemical, physical and biological parameters. The
criteria for Class B waters, the minimum classification which will meet the
1983 goal,, include bacteria (coliform) limits to protect the health of swimmers,
dissolved oxygen levels high enough to assure the protection and propagation of
fish and wildlife, and prohibitions on the presence of toxic substances. In
addition, Class B waters must be low in turbidity, and free from excessive algae.
Current Water Quality Conditions
Based on water quality monitoring data and information furnished by the
States, many of New England's waters, particularly the smaller upland tributaries,
are meeting 'the criteria established for Class B waters. However, the quality
of most of the major rivers continues to be below standards. Although millions
of dollars worth of municipal wastewater treatment facilities is currently under
construction and all major industrial dischargers have been issued National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permits, the major rivers will continue
to show the effects of pollutant discharges until the treatment plants are on
line and operational and the dischargers have attained effluent limitations
prescribed by their permits. One major uncontrolled discharge can seriously
degrade the downstream portions of the river. However, by the same token,
control of one major discharge can result in restoration or substantial upgrading
of an entire stream. Specific examples of localized clean up are: the
Pemigewasset River in New Hampshire, the Chipuxet River in Rhode Island, Jackson
Brook in Maine, the Otter River in Vermont, segments of the Connecticut River
in Connecticut, and the Quinebaug River in Massachusetts.
As of December, 1974, of 4,870 miles of main stem rivers and major
tributaries assessed, over half the river miles (2,670) were in violation of
water quality standards (see Table 5). This table is based on data furnished
by the States. Dissolved oxygen levels and coliform criteria were most frequently
violated. In fact, all main stem streams assessed had segments which violated
dissolved oxygen criteria. The causes of the violations are mainly major
-------
municipal and industrial discharges with inadequate levels of treatment. In
highly urban areas runoff and overflows of combined sewage contribute to the
problem.
Coliform violations also occurred in the majority of the large rivers.
Again, raw discharges from municipalities and urban runoff and combined sewage
overflows are the main causes of excessive bacterial concentrations. Table 6
contains a summary of water quality problems by State which were developed from
basin plans and other reports prepared by the State water pollution control
agencies. Table 7 presents 1974 data summaries from EPA/State monitoring
networks. Brief descriptions of major problem areas in each State follow.
Some of the major water quality problems in Connecticut occur in the
Quinnipiac, Hockanum, Naugatuck, Pequabuck and Still Rivers. Dissolved oxygen
levels approach zero in the Quinnipiac, Hockanum, Pequabuck and Still Rivers,
as a result of significant municipal discharges. Industrial discharges and urban
runoff also contribute to pollution in these streams. In the Naugatuck River
municipal and industrial discharges contribute significant loadings of heavy
metals and high organic loadings which render portions of the stream unsuitable
either for recreation or as a habitat for fish and wildlife. In addition, urban
runoff and combined sewer overflows cause severe pollution problems in the
coastal waters around such major urban centers of New Haven and Bridgeport.
In Maine, significant industrial discharges, particularly from the pulp
and paper industry contribute to extremely low levels of dissolved oxygen along
portions of the Androscoggin, Kennebec, Penobscot, and St. John Rivers. In the
Little Androscoggin River, municipal and industrial discharges produce high
levels of toxic metals, dissolved oxygen violations, and high bacterial"concentrations.
Massachusetts has several streams with major pollution problems. The
headwaters of the Blackstone River are impacted by municipal wastes and combined
sewer overflows from Worcester, resulting in septic conditions downstream.
Portions of the Merrimack and Connecticut Rivers still receive untreated wastes
from large urban municipalities. In the Otter River, paper mill discharges
loaded with BOD produce zero dissolved oxygen levels. The urban harbors of
Massachusetts, including the Boston Harbor, are significantly affected by
numerous sources of pollution, resulting in complex water quality problems.
The major water quality problems in New Hampshire occur in sections of the
Merrimack, Connecticut,and Androscoggin Rivers. In the Manchester area, untreated
municipal wastes, combined sewer overflows, and industrial discharges seriously
deplete oxygen levels and violate bacterial standards along the Merrimack. The
Connecticut and Androscoggin Rivers similarly have severely depleted dissolved
oxygen levels as a result of discharges from major paper mills in Groveton and
Berlin.
The Pawtuxet River in Rhode Island receives an extremely large volume of
waste. As a result of major industrial and municipal discharges and combined
sewer overflows, dissolved oxygen levels approach zero and bacterial levels are
very high. Streams and coastal waters in the Providence area are seriously
affected by urban runoff and combined sewage discharges.
-------
In Vermont, certain portions of lake Champlain and Lake Memphremagog receive
nutrient rich municipal wastes which create localized algae problems. Portions
of the Winooski River receive inadequately treated municipal wastes, resulting
in dissolved oxygen and bacterial problems.
Evaluation of New England's lakes and offshore coastal areas is difficult,
because currently available technology cannot measure or assess subtle changes
in the quality of these waters. The lakes and coastal waters are under increasing
pollutional stress; yet the water quality information base may portray only a
small fraction of that stress.
Lake pollution is a particularly difficult problem because lakes are closed
systems and do not have the self-cleansing ability of rivers. Frequently,
discharges into lakes are composed of sanitary or municipal sewage, rich in
nutrients, which encourage lake eutrophication. State water pollution control
agencies estimate that of the significant lakes in their States, the following
portions are showing signs of eutrophication or advanced aging; Maine 1%, New
Hampshire 5%, Vermont 24%, Massachusetts 20%, Rhode Island 18%, and Connecticut
24%.
Conclusions
The water quality of New England's major rivers and coastal waters continues
to be fair to poor, particularly in the vicinity of urban and industrialized
areas. In these areas, water quality has not substantially improved, and may
even be declining.
In the next two years a substantial improvement in water quality should
occur as a result of major municipal and industrial wastewater treatment facilities
being placed in operation. The problems of combined sewer overflows and diffused
or non-point sources of pollution will require resolution in order to achieve
the goal of fishable-swimmable water by 1983.

DRINKING WATER
Safety of water supply has for years been one of the most neglected areas of
environmental protection. Prior to the enactment in December, 1974 of the Safe
Drinking Water Act, federal regulation of water supply was restricted to suppliers
of interstate carrier conveyances. However, the new law extends federal regulatory
authority to cover all public water systems which provide piped water for human
consumption and have at least 15 service connections or regularly serve 25
individuals. The implementation of the new law and enactment of appropriate
State programs will ensure consistent quality and safety of the water supplies
affected.
The majority of New Englanders are served by one of the more than 2,000
community water supplies in the six-State area. About 15 percent of the population,
some 1.8 million people dependson individual wells and springs for drinking water.
There are approximately 500,000 of these private supplies. Because New England
has been favored with water supplies of relatively high quality, there has
traditionally been only minimal treatment provided. Disinfection by chlorination
is the only treatment used by many water systems. Most surface water supplies
are unfiltered. Some suppliers, in addition to chlorination, practice corrosion
control through the addition of some alkaline or suppressive substances in order
to render the water less corrosive and thereby protect the public'health from
dangerous metallic ions such as lead.
Many public water supplies receive no treatment. Also, individual water
supplies are usually untreated except for occasional iron removal and softening.
Problems
This report discusses three major areas of concern regarding drinking water
supplies in New England. They are:
1. Soft water and the solution of lead from old piping systems;
2. Poor bacteriological quality; and
3- The increase of chlorides in both ground and surface water supply sources.
Soft Waters and Lead
Many of the water supplies in New England come from surface sources which
are naturally soft and, consequently, quite corrosive. Corrosivity is roughly
inversely proportional to the alkalinity of the water. The adverse effects of .
corrosive water have been demonstrated by the Boston lead survey.
The Environmental Protection Agency, in cooperation with Tufts New England
Medical Center, recently completed a survey of water and blood lead levels in
Boston, Somerville and Cambridge. In 25.5 percent of Boston households and
14.5 percent of Somerville households tested, water lead levels exceeded the
standards of 0.05 mg/1. High lead levels were attributed to the corrosion of
lead piping materials in homes. Furthermore, when water lead values exceeded
0.1 mg/1, proportionate increases in blood lead levels of household members
were detected. Lead is a cumulative toxic substance which can produce irreversible
damage to the brain and central nervous system.
-------
9
The lead problem is probably not confined to the Boston metropolitan area.
Any relatively old New England city with corrosive water and lead plumbing or
lead service lines can expect similar conditions.
Fortunately, corrosion control as a corrective measure is readily available,
inexpensive, and effective. Corrosion control consists of adding to the water some
substance which will prevent the solution of metal ions from the pipes. For
example, the city of New London, Connecticut, which a few years ago had a severe
lead problem, corrected the problem by adding alkaline sodium hydroxide and a
phosphate compound to the water at the point of treatment. No community in New
England which has the problem of corrosion should fail to take corrective action.
Bacteriological Quality
The 45 interstate carrier water supplies in New England have been under
surveillance for many years and give some indication of the quality of drinking
water in the larger New England cities. At the present time, Revere, Massachusetts,
is the only city classified "Use Prohibited," due to the lack of adequate
bacteriological monitoring. This situation is currently being resolved. Quincy,
Massachusetts has experienced poor bacteriological quality in recent years and
seemed to have solved the problem by covering two distribution reservoirs, but
the use of the Blue Hill Reservoir during the summer of 1974 again resulted
in poor bacteriological quality. Haverhill, Massachusetts, has had poor
bacteriological quality for several years and has just this year been classified
"Provisionally Approved" because the city has provided increased surveillance
and more adequate disinfection which has thus far been successful in preventing
bacteriological contamination. Rutland, Vermont lost its pre-chlorination
facility in the June, 1973 flood and was classified "Use Prohibited" because
of the poor bacteriological quality that resulted. It is now classified
"Provisionally Approved", and we are reviewing the bacteriological data on a monthly
basis. Bar Harbor, Maine is also reporting to EPA monthly and just recently
experienced a series of poor bacteriological samples which will probably result
in a "Provisionally Approved" classification.
Since only 45 public water supplies in New England are included in the
Interstate Carrier List (Table 8), the bacteriological information reported for
these supplies cannot be used as a gauge for all water supplies in New England.
There is evidence that bacteriological quality is not universally good, especially
in the smaller communities.
For example, in Vermont during May, 1975, 371 systems were under surveillance
by the Vermont State Department of Health. Two hundred meet the U.S. Public
Health Service (USPHS). bacteriological limits and 171 do not. Vermont has 12
water systems on a permanent boil water notice and an additional 14 systems on
temporary boil water notices at the present time. Essex Center and Danville,
Vermont, in April, 1974, experienced outbreaks of giardiasis caused by the
intestinal parasite, Giardia Iambiia, which survives simple chlorination. These
outbreaks suggest that simple chlorination of surface waters, even with protected
watersheds, may not be adequate to prevent disease and that more extensive treatment
of surface waters is needed.
-------
10
Chlorides
Chlorides in drinking water are significant for two reasons. First, the
USPHS standard for chlorides is 250 mg/1. At this limit some people will begin
to notice a salty taste in their water and may seek other sources of supply which
may be more appealing aesthetically but less safe bacteriologically.
Figure 2 shows that during the early 1960's or the late 1950's the average
concentration of chlorides in drinking water began to rise. Although the levels
in general are still well below the 250 ppm limit of the Drinking Water Standards,
the trend is cause for concern.
Second, most chlorides found in New England ground and surface waters come
from road salt, which is principally sodium chloride. Thus, the presence of
chlorides implies the presence of sodium. In fact, road salt is about 40 percent
sodium. Thus, even when chloride levels fall within the standard, levels of
sodium associated with the chloride may be hazardous to the increasing number
of people on sodium restricted diets. Also, many physicians believe that the
restriction of sodium intake may be of general physiological benefit, so
sodium levels in drinking water may be of concern to the general public, and
not just those people on sodium restricted diets.
Progress
During the past five years there has been a significant change in the general
attitudes towards conventional water treatment, characterized by a growing
awareness that treatment beyond disinfection is needed in order to provide the
protection that will be necessary to safeguard water supply quality for future
generations of New Englanders.
In 1970, Fall River, Mass, water was prohibited for interstate carrier use
because of the widespread appearance of contamination in the distribution system.
As a result, Fall River is completing a modern water filtration plant to treat
Watuppa Pond water before serving it to its people.
In Massachusetts, the Metropolitan District Commission is arranging to
provide the corrosion control measures necessary to correct the lead problem
in Greater Boston, thus benefiting the health of several hundred thousand .
people.
Another progress item is the New Hampshire Water Supply and Pollution Control
Commission's recent order to cover a large finished water reservoir in Concord.
This reservoir has been a serious source of contamination to that city's water .
supply.
Conclusions
Drinking water supply presents one of our most significant environmental
challenges, because the link between poor quality and adverse health effects is
so marked. In order to protect the public health in New England, we must deal
with at least three specific water supply problems. First, the Boston study has
shown significant levels of lead in drinking water and indicates that the problem
is probably not confined to Boston. All older New England cities with lead pipes
ought to begin anti-corrosion treatment immediately. Second, the limited
monitoring data available indicate that we must institute procedures to improve
the bacteriological quality of some water supplies. Third, we must reverse the
trend toward increasing chloride and sodium levels in drinking water.

SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
Although significant progress has been made in solid waste management in
New England, much remains to be done. At present, only 30 percent of the
population of New England is served by disposal facilities which meet State
requirements and thus can be considered to be environmentally acceptable. There
is a wide variation among States, in terms of population served by acceptable
facilities, ranging from 68 percent in Vermont to one percent in Maine, as
shown in Figure 3. The overall 30 percent compliance figure, however, represents
an increase of 3 percent during the last year. This increase can be attributed
to strengthened State efforts.
Each State has prepared a comprehensive solid waste management policy and
implementation plan. In two States, the plans have led to the passage of innovative.
legislation. Connecticut has created the Resources Recovery Authority, and Rhode
Island the Solid Waste Management Corporation. Both organizations have authority
to plan, design, construct, finance, and operate resource recovery facilities. In
Massachusetts similar services are provided by the Department of Public Works.
Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Vermont have strengthened their solid waste
regulations this year, and all the New England States have actively enforced
existing regulations.
There are now 18 existing or proposed resource recovery facilities. Figure 4
shows the distribution of resource recovery facilities in the six States. '
Thirty-six municipalities have recognized the need for separate collection
programs for recycled materials and have established curb-side collection programs.
One of these municipalities is in New Hampshire, 3 are in Rhode Island,
11 in Connecticut and the remaining 21 in Massachusetts (see Figure 5).
Finally, each of the six States is currently undertaking a statewide survey
to identify problems associated with the disposal of hazardous wastes. Based
upon this survey, recommendations will be made to protect the environment
against contamination from hazardous wastes produced by industry, government,
agriculture, hospitals and laboratories.
