Pollution Abatement
In Upper Potomac
Slated for Farley
By jones Birchfield

Representatives of Maryland and
West Virginia will sit down together
this week to discuss long-rangeI
plan to abate pollution in the upper
Potomac River.
The conference of members Of the
West Virginia Water Control Board
and of the Maryland Health Depart
ment and the Free States new Wa
ter Control Board that viii begin
functioning this summer viii bel
held in connection with the quar-
terly meeting of the Interstate COM
mission on the Potomac River Basin
Friday and Saturday at Cacapon
State Park, West Virginia.
The conference viii mark the first
time two State bodies have been
brought together for active discus
sion of pollution problems since the
commission was formed.
Hope for Action Voiced.
Commission Chairman l.. Harold
Sothoron, Maryland State Senator
from Prince Georges County. said
commission members hope construc-
tive action toward lessening the poll
luton In the upper Potomac will
come from the conference.
He added that this may be the
first of series of conferences be-
tween representatives Of States hay-
ing an interest In the Potomac
Basin.
The North Branch OF the Poto-
mac River. in the Cumberland-Luke
area, has long been the sore spot"
in the basin. Since its formation,
the commission has sought to bring
about the cooperation between
States bordering the river and in-I
dustries operating in the basin to
clean up the polluted area.
Considerable progress already has
been made toward correcting the
pollution menace. Johns Hopkins
University will conduct research this
summer in the upper river in an
attempt to discover the efficiency
of aeration basins in lessening pol
luton.
Industrial Viewpoint Sought.
The commission is expected to
have a report at this meeting OF
the willingness Of industry through
out the basin to aid in the setting
up of water testing stations.
These stations. 1t was pointed out,
will enable the commission to know
at all times the exact condition of
all sections of the Potomac. This
will enable a more realistic approach
to the pollution abatement prob
lem.
The commission also is expected
to hear report on acid mine water
and methods of sealing abandoned
mines to correct this condition. |
These acid wastes which trickle from
abandoned mine shafts, often cause
great damage to fish and wildlife |
in mountain streams.

But with the event in its third week
