Supreme Court upholds EPA pollution limit power
The Supreme Court 8 to 0 rejects chemical firms’ bid to narrow EPA authority. The court affirms that the 1972 Water Pollution Act amendments authorize setting precise numerical pollutant limits for permit discharges, with 1977 and 1985 targets and no variances for future plants.

Senators Hathaway and Muskie urged a meeting with President Carter to preserve funds for the Dickey Lincoln hydroelectric project and pay $700,000 for an environmental impact study.
