Political crisis and the politics of water pollution control in the 1970s

In the late 1970s public trust in government and business increased considerably. During this period the federal government amended the 1972 act. The Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1977 extended industrial compliance deadlines for meeting the national water quality standards and weakened the implementation of provisions that encouraged public participation. Although the federal state made concessions to the capitalist class, again, political benefits to social classes took the form of legal safeguards to promote the accumulation of capital and to maintain existing class relations.
