Text: 60 Paragraph 4(c) of the agreement, for example, requires the agency to identify and study additional pollutants to be subject to future pretreatment standards. 13 The decree specifies with great particularity the methods by which the Administrator must identify a list of pollutants that are candidates for national regulation, the grounds upon which he may then remove pollutants from this list of candidates, and then concludes by requiring the Administrator to undertake regulatory action for those pollutants remaining on the list. 61 The Clean Water Act, by way of contrast, requires no such precisely delineated regulatory program. Section 307(b) of the Act requires only that the EPA promulgate standards for incompatible pollutants within a specified time period after the enactment of the Federal Water Pollution Control Amendments of 1972 and from time to time thereafter. 14
