BY THE US, GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE


Report To The Administrator,

Environmental Protection Agency







San Francisco's Wastewater Treatment

Program Needs Reexamination And

Better Management


When the initial phase of San Francisco's
$3 billion Wastewater Treatment Program
becomes operational, it should significantly
reduce the pollution of the San Francisco
Bay and the Pacific Ocean. However, increased
benefits to be gained by spending an addi-
tional $2 billion to complete the remaining
portions of the program may not be realized.
Further, better management is needed by
the state board over design and change
order reviews. The significant reduction
that has occurred in project funding levels
intensifies the need for the Environmental
Protection Agency to assure that its man-
agement delegation agreements require max-
imum benefits for federal monies expended.

GAO recommends that the Administrator of
the Environmental Protection Agency sug-
gest that San Francisco reexamine certain
aspects of the program and modify it to
achieve water quality objectives in a more
cost-effective manner. GAO also recommends
that EPA modify its agreements with the
California Water Resources Control Board
to improve its review of design elements.
