a quarter billion dollars during the same period. 



As one might expect, the heavily-populated estuarlne-associated States 

 such as California, New York, New Jersey, and Florida will require 

 bulk of expenditures 1n the near future (nearly two-thirds of the 

 total). Similarly, the estuarlne portions of the Marine states loca- 

 ted in the Middle Atlantic biophysical reqion (New York to Delaware) 

 will account for nearly 44 percent of the national total for these 

 areas. These and other urban-dominated areas will require the ful- 

 lest possible resources, technology and planning of private, local, 

 state, and Federal establishment if estuarine water quality is to be 

 maintained, and oerhaos enhanced. 



Industrial Wastes 



Although municipal wastes are shown to be a major and projected source 

 of pollution, both nationally, and associated with the estuarine zone, 

 manufacturing is the principal source of controllable waterborne 

 wastes. 



In terms of the generally quoted measurements of strength and volume, 

 the FWPCA estimates that manufacturing establishments are responsible 

 for about three times as great a loadinq as that caused by the Nation's 

 population. Moreover, the volume of Industrial production, which 

 gives rise to industrial wastes, is increasing at about 4.5 percent a 

 year, of three times as fast as the population growth rate.
