The problem is that of the growing pressure on business
organizations as a result of federal, state, and local envi-
ronmental pollution and abatement laws. Businessmen are re-
quired to file an environmental impact statement on all actions
which may substantially affect environmental quality. These
statements may take as long as eighteen months to file.
Businessmen are asking how the costs of improving the quality
of the environment should be borne.
This study analyzes federal and state pollution control
and abatement legislation and provides a one-volume working
explanation of those laws applicable to business operations.
This analysis is limited to legislation aimed at controlling
air and water pollution, and solid waste management.
Secondary data was obtained from federal, state, and local
legislation and records and hearings reported in the Federal
Register, Congressional Record, and transcripts of court cases.
Publications from the Environmental Protection Agency and
other federal agencies, and other reports and studies were
used. Primary data was obtained from interviews with officials
of Region VI, Environmental Protection Agency, the Small
Business Administration, and selected companies in Region VI.
