ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL
In 1975-76 the examination of the problems of solid waste and the search for possible solutions became a
major environmental activity with N.I.R.C.C. In 1973, the Solid Waste Disposal Program was developed for Allen
County. This past year work was begun on a regional solid waste plan which will exaMine the question of future
solid waste disposal on a county by county basis, involving all four counties. The adoption of this plan is
scheduled co be completed in mid-summer, 1976.
During the past year work was completed on the Fort \.Jayne Urban Sec tor Haumee River Baslin Level B Study
',..'hich was done for the Great Lakes Basin Commission. The purpose of the Level B Study was to examine land use,
flood protec cion, wastewater management, water quality, and soil erosion along the t>1aumee River.
The Council continued its program of assistance
to local communities in their pursuit of federal assis-tance
to aid them in solving problcRs of water supply and
wastewater treatment. Seven communities applied for
Step I grants which provide funding for preliminary study
of wastewater problems and alternative solutions. These
include Hudson, Geneva, Decatur, Honroe, St. Joe, Markle,
and the Maysville Sewer District. Funds for actual construe
tion have been applied for the North Maumee System
and several interceptors in the City of Fort Wayne.
Honroeville has applied for funding for improvements to
their potable water system.
