              COMPTROLLER GENERAL OP THE UNITED STATES
                       WASHINGTON, D.C. 20548

To the President of the Senate  and the
Speaker of the House of  Representatives

     This report addresses problems municipalities  face in
selecting and implementinq sludge management  systems that
dispos. of sludge in a safe, beneficial,  and cost-effective
manner and actions the Federal Government  should take to
help them.  Sewage sludge disposal  is a growing problem be-
cause the Nation's sludge volume  is *increasing dramatically;
it is expected to double  in size by 1987.  At the same time,
certair sludge disposal methods are  being phased out, and
use of others is being restricted.  Also,  development and im-
plementation of new disposal methods  is being hampered for
a number of reasons.

     We made our review pursuant  to the Budget and Account-
ing Act, 1921 (31 U.S.C. 53),  the Accounting and Auditing
Act of 1950 (31 U.S.C. 67), and  the Legislative Reorganiza-
tion Act of 1970 (31 U.S.C. 1152).

     Copies of this report are  being sent to the Director,
Office of Management and Budget;  the Administrator, Environ-
mental Protection Agency; the Secretaries  of Agriculture,
Energy, the Interior, and Health,  Education, and Welfare;
Members of Congress; and interested congressional  co  ittees.
