 INTRODUCTION 



Today we will summarize the work and 

 findings of the Washington State Enforcement Project. 

 This Project has been the joint undertaking of the Water 

 Pollution Control Coramission in Washington and the 

 Federal Water Pollution Control Administration. Its 

 principal objective was the evaluation of the pollutional 

 impact of pulp and paper mill wastes discharged into 

 Puget Sound upon the fishery resources of those waters. 

 The Project's studies extended into four study areas and 

 considered seven different mills, owned by six companies. 

 The field work began in April 1962 and was completed in 

 June of 1966. A complete description of the studies, the 

 results, and the recommendations of the Washington State 

 Enforcement Project has been published in a A50~page 

 report entitled, "Pollutional Effects of Pulp and Paper 

 Mill Wastes in Puget Sound," dated March 1967. The report 

 has already received wide distribution throughout the 

 Puget Sound area, and, Mr. Chairman, I would like to have 

 the report made a part of the record. 



CHAIRMAN STEIN: This will be done. I 

 think the report, without objection from the Conferees, 

 should be carried as an exhibit or an appendix to the 

 transcript so it will be readily available to those
