Statement for Presentation to the Public Hearing of the California Water Resources Control Board, October 19, 1977, at Sacramento Regarding the Proposed Revision of the California Ocean Plan

I am pleased to have this opportunity to comment on the proposed revisions to the California Ocean Plan. In past years I have participated in the design of most of the major outfalls along the California coast as a special hydraulics consultant and am presently so engaged for the City and County of San Francisco (as a special consultant to the firm of CH_2M Hill). At Caltech I have been involved in research on dispersion and mixing of wastewater discharges, and am presently Director of the Environmental Quality Laboratory, an interdisciplinary policy study center for environmental problems. However, my comments here are given as an individual and not as representing either Caltech or any of the sewerage agencies.
