Stream Pollution: Planning for Pollution Control at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Pittsburgh's rugged topography creates a complicated sewage disposal problem. The heavy acid load in the rivers, largely from mining operations, inhibits bacterial growth, prevents a major nuisance, and postpones the attack on the disposal problem. Primary treatment plants are indicated as meeting the requirements for a considerable period; and sites are available which will avoid the expense of costly interceptors and tunnels. River transportation can be used for conveying sludge to a central plant for final disposition.
Decided economies in first cost and in operation can be achieved if the 116 interested municipalities join forces. Public sentiment would probably support a “clean-up” program; but enabling legislation will be required.
