Environmental, 'Economic, And Political Issues

Impede Potomac River Cleanup Efforts





Washington, D.C., metropolitan commun-
ities are experiencing almost insurmountable
problems in their cooperative efforts to
clean the Potomac River. Environmental,
economic, and political issues have frustrat-
ed area attempts to develop and implement
cost-effective regional solutions to meet
Potomac River environmental mandates.

GAO believes the D.C. area's difficulties
and similar problems identified in previous
reviews illustrate the need for

   --Congress to retain and reemphasize
   legislative requirements for regional
   planning and program implementation;
   --legislative changes providing greater
   emphasis on cost benefit approaches
   to funding advanced waste water treat-
   ment; and
   --EPA to assess the standards, goals, and
   requirements of each environmental
   program in a more integrated way,
   rather than focusing on single land,
   air, or water programs.
