A View From The Governor's Office
By Gov. Raymond P. Shafer
ES7'*^r?s'T' <^
As Governor. I am deeply
proud of the effoils most Penn
sylvanians are willing to make,
and are making, towarding solv
ing our mutual problems
I have travelled about this
Nation and have yet to find a
more beautiful natural land of
variety than our Common
wealth. And I have yet to find
any State making a greater ef
fort to preserve its beauty, na
tural resources and environ
ment than we are.
We have a $5OO million land
and water fund that is now be
ing used to attack the scars and
pollution left by irresponsible
mining practices; for providing
good recreation, for getting the
sewage out of our streams
We have the first and strong
est solid waste management law
in the Nation for dealing with
the junk and garbage of our af
fluence
We are ready to begin con
struction of the Nation’s first
air pollution monitoring net
work when a certain State offi
cial decides to stop playing
politics with it.
We have the Nation’s first
water pollution monitoring net
work to help us strengthen the
enforcement of our model Clean
Streams Law We also have the
toughest strip mining laws
among the States
These are examples of our
willingness to work against the
problems of the past and meet
the challenges of the future.
But I ask myself Is this real
ly enough? Are we going to win
with this kind of an effort?
I read the words of the pessi
mists, which warn us that for
the first time in history, the
future of the human race is
now in serious question.
If we fail to answer their cri
ticisms in Pennsylvania, it will
not be because we didn’t try.
It is needless to say that our
past history and policy toward
control of water pollution was
not a noble achievement. The
fact that we allowed millions of
gallons of acid mine drainage
to get into oui streams was
alone a disgrace
And even with the efforts we
are presently making through
the construction of the first acid
mine drainage to get into our
sti earns was alone a disgiace
And even with the efforts we
aie presently making through
the construction of the first
acid mine water tieatment faci
lities, through the Sanitary Wa
ter Board and other State agen
cies concerned about pure wa
ter, changes are needed
Last week, at the third of our
annual confeiences on environ
ment, I asked the experts pre
sent to give us the answeis to
these questions
—Does the Sanitary Water
Board have the tools now need
ed to assure the quality of our
water supply’
—Are the water pollution con
trol concepts and methods de
veloped in the 19305, and still in
existence, adequate to meet the
growing demands for pure wa
ter?
There is need for improved
planning and new water man
agement techniques Our pre
sent system of providing muni
cipal sewage collection and wa
ter pollution control is moving
too slowly Consequently, it is
not keeping pace with the de
velopment of the Common
wealth
We must now create a State
local partnership of regional
systems of water quality man
agement Communities, indus
tries, builders, and individual
citizens must work more co
operatively in a region to as
sure a pure water supply.
v'Tssa
We can no longer allow the
proliferation of water treatment
facilities along our streams, just
as we can no longer permit any
community, regardless of size,
to dump raw sewage into any
body of water.
During the past year, the
State’s Water Resources Coor
dinating Committee held a
series of meetings to stimulate
the formation of watershed as
sociations. We have found that
these associations are providing
our citizens with a better
awareness of regional water
problems and a new responsibi
lity to become involved in pollu
tion control efforts
These associations can give
us the basis needed to create
icgional control of the water
supply and bring to an end the
era when a hamlet, acting sel
fishly, can veto the improve
ment of water quality for other
communities.

tion you can make to the im
provement of our environment
and the future development of
our Commonwealth

President Jefferson by a group

him to pay for it at 50 per cent
more than its market price.
