Abstract

This article discusses the implementation of standards currently being developed to enhance and preserve water quality. Specific programs, such as monitoring streams for standards compliance, monitoring effluents from municipal and industrial waste treatment plants, and periodic review of progress being made to construct needed treatment facilities, will be expanded through joint efforts of state and federal programs. One of the biggest needs in pollution control is efficient municipal and industrial waste treatment plant operation. Specific programs to train treatment plant operations and surveillance of plant operation are needed if stream water quality criteria are to be satisfied. New or expanded activities to deal with pollution from erosion, vessels and marinas, mine drainage, heat discharges, land and agricultural drainage, and nutrient enrichment will challenge the state and federal programs.
