In my State of Pennsylvania, one of our greatest problems in cer- 
tain sections of the State is acid mine drainage. I don’t know how you 
can associate this statement with what. I find in my own State. 
Mr. Murruy. Mr, Goodling, I think the Corps of Engineers will 
give you the water volumes that flow back and forth in the flume area 
of the New York bight. Acid wastes are dumped in one place, cellar 
waste in another and others in different designated areas. 
The volume of water that flows in this area may well purify the 
acid waste. In fact for years the acid pit, as it was known, was used as 
almost a converging point for sport fishing boats and some commer- 
cial fishing boats of New York Harbor. 
So the effect of acid dumping, let us say, in the area of limited flow- 
off such as interior areas in Pennsylvania, may well have a different 
effect—and those effects are what are necessary to be studied and un- 
derstood—than we do out in the bight area. 
Mr. Goopiine. We have periodic fish kills from acid mine drainage. 
That is all, Mr. Chairman. 
Mr. Everett. Mr. Chairman, with respect to your concern over the 
finless fish problem, I might point out that the appropriations bill 
for the House Interior and Related Agencies that just passed the 
Congress last week would add another $100,000 earmarked for a study 
of this very problem. 
Mr. Dinegtt. Thank you very much. 
Mr. Murphy, the committee is grateful to you for your presence 
and for your very helpful and interpretive statement. 
Mr. Dineety. Our next witness is Dr. L. Glasgow, Assistant Sec- 
retary of Interior for Fish and Wildlife, Parks and Marine Resources. 
The Chair knows you have several members of your staff with you. 
If you wish to have them join you at the committee table, the Chair 
believes it would be most appropriate and proper.
