Maine adopts landmark laws to curb oil spills
Gov. Kenneth M. Curtis signed two measures after a special session. The Coastal Protection Fund of 3 million dollars will pay cleanup costs for spills with no identifiable source and regulate coastal petroleum transport. The Environment Improvement Commission gains power to approve or reject sites for potentially dangerous industry. Curtis said the laws balance environmental protection with development needs amid industry opposition to the fund.
