Question 1 (and additional information to help you throughout):

In 1990, Congress passed the Pollution Prevention Act which states: "the Environmental Protection Agency must establish a source reduction program which collects and disseminates information, provides financial assistance to States, and implements the other activities"

The "Findings" section of the Pollution Prevention Act of 1990 explains why Congress passed the P2 Act and are briefly captured below:

Question 2:

The Legislative Reorganization Act of 1970 was an act of the United States Congress to "improve the operation of the legislative branch of the Federal Government, and for other purposes."The act focused mainly on the rules that governed congressional committee procedures, decreasing the power of the chair and empowering minority members, and on making House and Senate processes more transparent.

The origins of the act can be traced back to the formation of the Joint Committee on the Organization of the Congress in March 1965. The committee held extensive hearings and issued its recommendations on July 28, 1966. These recommendations "formed the backbone" of the act.

Question 3:

On April 22, 1969, the House Rules Committee formed the Special Subcommittee on Legislative Reorganization. The chairman of the committee was B. F. Sisk (D-CA) and the other members were Ray J. Madden (D-IN), who was later replaced by John Young (D-TX), Richard Bolling (D-MO), H. Allen Smith (R-CA), and Delbert L. Latta (R-OH). The subcommittee held meetings over several months, creating a draft bill, held multiple briefings for House members, followed by hearings on the draft bill. After revisions to the draft bill, the subcommittee reported the bill to the full Rules Committee in early 1970. After further amendments, the committee reported the bill on May 12.

Explanation:

(1). For the first part of the question the reason behind the state laws and local laws concerning air and water being ineffective is because the air and water pollution in one state is connected to another states which makes the standards set by states to be inconsistent and these standards are not enforced strictly.

(2). The main legislation that the federal government passed during the 1970s is the Clean Air Act in 1972.

(3). 1970s is a long time and it is very important to update Clean Air Act and other environmental policies or introduce new ones as time have changed. The challenges after the passage of the legislation are;

• poor funding and old infrastructures such as the sewage treatment plants.

• The introduction of new pollutants (such as chemicals) from industries.

• increased numbers of runoffs.
