Book Description
The Great Lakes contain 95% of the fresh water in the U.S. & 20% of the fresh water in the world. Tens of millions of people in the U.S. & Canada depend on the Great Lakes for drinking water. In 1995 the EPA issued common-sense guidelines to reduce toxic pollution in the Great Lakes & ensure protection for the environment & people living in the area. Will this protection come at a reasonable cost? Results from a detailed evaluation of impacts for 3 communities in the region reveal that public health & environmental benefits will outweigh the costs of achieving those reductions. The 3 communities evaluated for this report were the Fox River near Green Bay, WI; the Saginaw River near Bay City, MI; & the Black River near Cleveland, OH. Illustrations.

This report evaluates the status of components of jurisdictional regulatory programs for toxic substances in the Great Lakes basin. It presents a comparative analysis of selected portions of programs in the Great Lakes basin designed to regulate the discharge of toxic pollutants from point sources. The report focuses on differences in the concentration and mass of pollutants that may be discharged from point sources, based on a selected set of criteria and application procedures used in the Great Lakes basin.
