BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL



Report To The Congress

OF THE UNITED STATES





EPA Should Help Small Communities Cope

With Federal Pollution Control

Requirements



Small communities--under 10,000 population--
are generally subject to the same environmental
quality regulations as larger ones. Complying
with these regulations exacts a much higher
economic and social price from small commu-
nities, however, because the cost of construc-
ting environmental control projects must be
shared by fewer taxpayers, sometimes placing
severe burdens on low-income residents. Also,
small communities lack technical expertise
needed to plan complex environmental pro-
jects.

The Environmental Protection Agency should
minimize small communities' problems by

    --more carefully reviewing new sewer
      system justifications,

    --providing additional technical assistance
      to small communities, and
                                                                112431
    --experimenting with comprehensive ap-
      proaches to pollution control.
