nounced that further consulta-

become the final order for the

EPA is the agency that
suggested the figure after the

held in Houston last year,
To meet the proposed order
of 35,000 BOD, Grandy said
estimates of cost for additional
work in this area range bet-
ween $500 million and $1
Wilton. “For this money,”
Grandy said, “we will be
getting an increase of 0.4 parts
per million of dissolved oxygen
in Galveston Bay.
“Marine biologists tell us
that game fish can live well in
water as low as 4 ppm in
dissolved oxygen. At Morgan’s
Point, as we have shown, it is
running 5,4 ppm average, and
with this expenditure, we will
see a rise to 5.8 It to a poor
bargain.
“It is a poor bargain because
we will have used a lot of irre-
placeable natural resources
just to get a fraction of a ppm
of dissolved oxygen into the
wafer.”
Grand/ said that “we do not
believe that an idealistic goal
of ‘treatment for treatment’s
sake alone’ is justified- ever.”
