Congress gave final approval to a $20.6 billion five year pollution control plan to clean U.S. waterways by 1985. The measure, seen as certain to be vetoed by President Nixon, would require industry and city dischargers to use best practicable and best available technology by 1977 and 1993, with a 75 percent federal share for waste treatment plants and long term contracts to states and locales.
