Ground Water Act of 1987. House of Representatives, One Hundredth Congress, First Session, September 30, 1987
The Senate report on H.R. 791 offers both an amended title and text to the proposed bill authorizing research on ground water contamination. The report summarizes the relationship between surface waters, aquifers, and recharge areas in terms of the movement of contaminants and water drawdowns. The detection of ground water contamination is increasing in frequency. The four key elements of the bill are coordinated federal activities, data gathering and assessment, a national research effort to demonstrate effective protection and restoration of water resources, and a system of technical assistance and transfer. A section-by-section analysis and estimated outlays of $164 million in 1988, which would peak at $184 million in 1990 and decrease to $3 million in 1992, complete the report.
