<br />If remedial measures are not carried out within the time agreed upon
<br />at the conference, the second step of the Federal enforcement program
<br />is a formal hearin€: called by the Secretary of the Department of Health,
<br />Education, and Welfare. The hearing board malces recommendations to the
<br />Secreta1"J who then notifies those responsible for pollution of necessary
<br />remedial steps, and a time schedule to accomplish abatement. If the
<br />corrective steps are not talcen action against the offending parties at
<br />the request of the SecretaI"J can then be brought in the Federal Court
<br />by the United States Department of Justice. There have been three
<br />hearings held in the Missouri Basin, and in one instance Court action
<br />has been initiated.
<br />
<br />A conference l-IaS held in Scottsbluff, Nebraska on September 12, 1961,
<br />at which time all parties concerned agreed that a future study of the
<br />North Platte River (Wyoming-Nebraska) was necessary before realistic
<br />steps for abating interstate pollution could be adopted. Following a
<br />detailed study of the River, the conference l-IaS reconvened at Cheyenne,
<br />Wyoming on !-larch 8, 1962. The conferees unanimously agreed upon steps
<br />to be taken and a time schedule for the construction of pollution
<br />abatement facilities.
