Great Lakes Management Act of 1985. Hearing before the Subcommittee on Intergovernmental Relations of the Committee on Governmental Affairs, United States Senate, Ninety-Ninth Congress, First Session on S. 765, May 22, 1985
A hearing on S.765 focused on water quality and the effect of construction and development on water supply and quality of the area. A congressional task force will address the implications of economic development and such water-related issues as transportation and pollutants. The Bill corrects the current fragmented management of this major resource by placing responsibility for environmental quality on the Environmental Protection Agency and for research on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. It also provides a mechanism for coordinating agency activities and programs for surveillance and monitoring, the exchange of research information, a five-year pilot program to demonstrate the removal of toxic materials from lake bottoms, and a five-year pilot program that will lesson the loading of nutrients in the lakes. The witnesses represented affected agencies and states, environmental groups, and research groups. The text of S.765 follows the testimony of the 10 witnesses.
