firms to decrease the amount of pollutants in the environment.
At the same time, consumers are voicing their opinions against
the increased prices that will result.
Purpose of the Study
The purpose of this study is to provide in one volume,
the state-of-the-art in environmental legislation that
directly affects the operations of business enterprises.
National and state legislations were analyzed, as both may
be applicable in the compliance efforts of businesses. In a
number of cases, state agencies are the primary regulatory
body with the federal government acting when state agencies
fail to do so. Through the systematic analysis of relevant
legislation, guidelines of general applicability were devel-
oped. These guidelines will aid managers in focusing upon
the pertinent factors in pollution control compliance.
Background and Significance of the Study
In December, 1970, the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) was established to bring together in one federal agency
many environmental protection programs previously carried
out by several different branches of the government. The
following functions were transferred to the EPA.
1. Federal Water Quality Administration
2. National Air Pollution Control Administration
3. Elements of the Environmental Control Administration
4. Pesticides research authority from the Department
of the Interior
