sidered pollution problems Of con-
Germ to several Northern Virginia
communities.
Twenty-Five residents Of Fairfax
County protested to the board that
the sludge piles are draining into
Pohick Creek and polluting it so
badly that the stream cannot be
used for recreation or for drinking,
the Associated Press reported.

Quoted at the boards request dis
closed that no sludge is being
shipped to the Lorton Reformatory
at the moment, but that shipments
soon will be resumed. Plans are
under way for private contractor
to clean up the existing sludge pile
and to take all future shipments for
grinding into soil-building material.
The board invited representatives
of Alexandria and Arlington to dis
cuss pollution matters with which
they are concerned at a meeting in
Richmond December II. These
questions arise from complaints by
the Washington National Airport
and the Izaak Walton League chap
ter in Arlington.
Both complaints charged exces-

Disposal System Planned.
The board said it had information
of Alexandria plans for sewage
treatment and it estimated that in
1o45 the Arlington sewage disposal
system handled a daily overload Of
100000 gallons per day.
The Virginia agency disapproved
an application fled by Front Royal
for a sewer extension project, saying
it could not act until adequate
treatment of the new waste is pro-
vided."
It approved Manassas project.
The board said evidence indicated
that the proposed rebuilding of ex-
isting lines and a new sewage pump
ing station would not mean sig
nificant increase in stream pollu-
tiOn.
