<br />State Program Grants
<br />
<br />Since the Federallvater Pollution Control Act (Public Law 660, 1956)
<br />emphasizes that primary responsibility for pollution abatement rests
<br />with the state.." it is essential that the state programs be adequate
<br />to carry out this responsibility. As an aid to placing these programs
<br />on a firm foundation, the Act authorized an appropriation of $3 million
<br />per year through Fiscal Year 1961 for grants to state and interestate
<br />agencies. The Act was amended by Public Lalv 87-88 on July 20, 1961.
<br />As amended, Public law 660 authorized an appropriation of $5 million
<br />per year for grants to states and interstate agencies. Grant alloca-
<br />tions for Stat~ Water Pollution Control agencies of the ten Missouri
<br />Basin States 11 for Fiscal Year 1962 total $467,600, distributed as
