Justices Toss Out Stadium Challenges Congress Told Law Needed
In Washington AP report Comptroller General Fi mer B Staats told the House Public Works Committee that the federal government lacks power to head off water pollution and must wait for damage to occur. He urged federal discharge standards for municipalities and industries before pollution becomes a problem, criticizing the slow EPA enforcement under the 1956 act and the lengthy conference and court process. He noted 58 weeks to court and a 180 day notice before action, calling for standards based on discharges rather than post pollution enforcement.
