The ground water program personnel will continue to administer the permits for subsurface disposal. There are presently three sub- surface disposal permits being adminIstered by the Division with the possl- bility of three additional applications to be submitted to the Commission in F i sca I Year 1979.

E. Air Pollution Program Overlaps and Gaps Program interface between air pollution control and water. qual ity control occurs primarily in the planning and strategy setting areas. Unless cqordi- nation of these activities is practiced, conflicts In programs may result. For example, under an air pollution strategy call ing for a decrease in winter sand- ing, municipalities, counties, and the Highway Department might increase salt appl ications to the eventual detriment of water qual ity.
