Air pollution? Yes. Vehicular exhaust has long been considered a source of air pollution, but it is an important source of water pollution as well—and one which escapes
water pollution laws.

ues, and the persistence of ocean pollution also will be considered. Marine
pollution guidelines will detail alternative disposal techniques, including
land—based methods. Permits must be obtained for dumping at sea, even in the
deep ocean, in accordance with information published in the guidelines.
The new legislation establishes much tighter control over direct pollution
of the nation’s waterways than did previous laws. It provides a good deal of
exibility in choosing alternative methods such as recycling and process

Wastes instead of automatically looking for the nearest stream in the hopes
that it still has some dilution capacity left. The provision for permits for
ocean dumping extends federal authority to most dumping activiües and
should restrict, although certainly not eliminate, this source of marine pollu—
tion. Finally, the national goal to eliminate the discharge of all pollutants into
navigable waters by 1985 marks a welcome departure from the older concept
that waterways were convenient natural waste disposal sites.
