Mr CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 12, IMS SINATOR SAM IRVIN * £417 * WASHINGTON Water pollution has brought us problems that have con fronted no other genera tion. In the last four years, Congress has recog nized this and has enacted a major program to at tempt to control it. On July 10th, the Sen ate approved an amend ment to the Clean Water Act of 1988 (PL 89-753) to clarify certain provisions of that statute and to help keep the momentum of the anti-pollution efforts under way. The measure is now in the House Public Works Committee. It is expected that the committee and the House will take action on this legislation in the near future. Water pollution control on a national scale had its real beginning in the Fed eral Water Pollution Act of 1965. Up to that time, control of pollution suffer ed because of the lack of effective standards over large areas and insufficient financing to stop the flow of wastes from flowing into our streams and lakes. Among the worst offenders MattaniuskeeT Drawing Slated The North Carolina Wild life Resources Commission has announced this year’s deadline for pre - drawing applications to hunt water fowl at Lake Mattamus keet National Wildlife Refuge. According to a commis sion spokesman, all Tar Heel sportsmen who plan to hunt waterfowl at the Mattamuskeet refuge this year should submit their applications for reserva tions before 6 P. M. Sep tember 17 to the Water fowl Blind Reservation Committee, Lake Matta muskeet, New Holland, N. C. 27885. Forms on which to sub mit applications are avail able either from Refuge Manager L. B. Tunnell, New Holland, or from the North Carolina Wildlife Commission, Box 2919, Ra leigh, N. C. 27602. A list of procedures governing Lake Mattamuskeet water fowl blind and guide ap plications indicates that all applications received before the deadline will be elig ible for entry in a public drawing at the Hyde Coun ty court house in Swan quarter on September 19. The drawing will begin at 9 A. M. and blind reserva tions for preferred dates will be made on the basis of drawing results. Following the drawing, applications will be pro cessed on g first-come, first-served basis. The Wildlife Resources Commission, this week, urged Tar Heel sportsmen to obtain their applications as soon as possible in or der to be sure they have the correct forms, have them filled out correctly and understand the pro cedures which must be fol lowed to compete for a blind at Mattamuskeet. were hundreds .f sewer systems which deposited huge amounts oi raw sew age into our waterways. Industries needed stand ards, too, to cope with the problem. In building a civilization, we found that we were destroying one of our vital re sources—W a ter. So the Control Act of 1965 initiated a clean-up campaign of our water supplies by setting stand ards and penalties strong enough to help. The act also alerted the country to the importance of adequate supplies of clean water if our civilization is to sur vive. The old conserva tion battles have now moved to water resources and keeping them clean. In 1966, Congress amend ed the 1965 act with the Clean Water Restoration Act. This measure sought to aid communities with financial assistance for the building of waste treat ment plants over a five year period. Funds auth orized for fiscal 1969 under this measure are $7OO mil lion. The Senate has ap proved $225 million for the fiscal 1969 program in the current appropriation. While the 1966 act per mitted the federal govern ment to share through grants-in-aid the costs of constructing municipal wa ter treatment facilities, its permissive authority some times has made it difficult for communities to con tract for treatment facili ties. It is felt that the present act does not al ways offer firm assurance to states and localities that federal grants will be made once a project is un derway. So the 1968 act seeks to clarify existing au thority to assist communi ties in the grants-in-aid program to build these pol lution control facilities. Anti-pollution control has a high Congressional priority mainly because it seeks to deai with a rec ognized need. Anyone who has observed the ravages of pollution to a once-clean stream or lake under stands the magnitude of the problem that goes beyond the boundaries of a single state or region. Industries and the people share in the responsibility to main tain an adequate supply of clean water, but this is one of the areas where the fed eral government can aid materially. This is the urgency of the pollution legislation, and this is why Congress continues to give it high priority. I have supported clean water legislation be cause I deem it essential to the well-being of the peo ple and our country.
