                 ThEICIPACT OF NONPOINT SOURCE POLLUTION ON
                      METING NATIONAL WATER QUALITY GOAL9S


Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subccmmittee:

     We are here at your invitation to present our views on the impact of
nonpoint source pollution on our ability to meet national water quality

goals. Our comments are based on concerns presented in a number of our

issued reports (attachment 1) which address a wide range of activities

directly related to the nonpoint pollution problem and which contain

recomendations aimed at dealing with the problem.

     Last July we testified before this subcamittee on EPA's construction

grants program. We comnented that the hearings were most timely because

of the growing concern in the country and the Congress over inflation.

Inflation is still a major problem and it is increasingly important that

we continually evaluate costly Goverrent programs, such as the water

pollution control program, to ensure that they are efficiently and

effectively operated and do not contribute unnecessarily to inflation.
