"You have shocked us completely by that I "

"Also an amendment to the Federal Water
Pollution control Act, Section 2l(b) to be
specific, broadens upon this Refuse Act in

January 1st of this year is the planning re-

Federal Water Pollution Control people pro-
posed sending out to industry in which they
asked if we want them to handle it all, if
they want us to provide a forwarding letter
and they would handle it from there, or did
