Department of Health, as you know. Eleven per-

but will be brought into compliance as soon as
it is financially possible for them to do so.

Eighteen federal water quality administra-
tion grant applications Were processed in the
last year representing $1.7 million in grant
funds requested. I might point out that the
Federal Water Pollution Control Administration
as it used to be known has had its title changed

were reviewed last year representing estimated
construction cost of just under $13 million.
Nine engineering reports were reviewed repre- 1
senting estimated construction costs of about
$7~ million. 33 new waste treatment plants were
constructed and 10 were expanded. 26 industrial
waste pollution sources were abated. Two out-

connect to existing facilities. The legislature
