Poisonous Substances: Should not be present in concentrations that
could directly or indirectly have a harmful effect
on fish and aquatic organisms, serving as feed

Besides these general requirements, in the Rules for the Protection of the
Surfaces of Waters from Pollution by Waste Water there are established
maximum permissible concentrations for 294 types of pollutants for waters
of aquatic bodies for sanitary-everyday use and 28 for aquatic bodies used
by the fishing industry.

The Soviet escorts accompanying the group were:
1. Victor Shagaev, Department Manager, Giprobum
2. Yuri E. Kazakov, Expert, The USSR-US Soviet Committee on
Environmental Cooperation, Main Administration of Hydrometerological
Services of the USSR
Under Project 11-2.2, Prevention of Water Pollution from Industrial
Sources, this is the first of the four industry subgroups where the
exchange has been completed in both countries. The writer has previously
escorted three of the industry subgroups on their respective tours of
the United States. Certain first-hand observations can now be made
regarding the outlook of the U. S. and U.S.S.R. on these exchanges.
Most importantly, the Soviets are as serious as the Americans
on this exchange of environmental technology. Further, the message
of detente between our two peoples is crystal clear. It is obvious
that they are under the same instructions as we are when escorting
the Soviets around the United States. Every effort is made to enhance
our material comforts as regards lodging and travelling to the best of
their resources. The cultural exchange is very complete and they seem
..to take pride in escorting the delegations through museums, places of
interest, their theatres, etc.
To emphasize the seriousness, it should be noted that at every visit
they hosted a lunch or a dinner and presented nominal gifts to the delegation
members. It should further be noted that our initial briefing was conducted
in Moscow by the 1st Deputy Minister of the Pulp and Paper Industry,
Mr. N. Chistiakov who was also serving as a minister due to the illness
of.the minister. That evening, the acting minister hosted a dinner in
honor of the U. S. delegation. On our departure, the ministry conducted
our final critique and hosted a farewell cocktail party in our honor
at the Moscow Airport. As an overall comparison,?they extended as much
effort as we do to insure success of the mission.
The report on the technical aspects of the mission is
enclosed. The Soviets were completely cooperative both in the tours
and the questions we generated at the critiques. In addition,there
are certain other attachments I have included, such as the itinerary,
and a Write-up on Giprobum which is the state institute for designing
pulp and paper enterprises for the entire Soviet Union. Also included
are two tables, one covering fishery requirements on effluents from
Kraft Mills and the other covering guidelines on effluents from
paper and pulp mills depending on whether they emptied into bodies of
drinking water or waters used for recreational purposes. We were
fortunate to get this table which was part of a confidential report
that they would not release.

I would point out that having a U. S. interpreter along as part
of the delegation is invaluable. The Soviet Union is not like any other
country that I have ever visited. I feel that relying on the Soviet
interpreters only would be synonymous to flying blind. Another point
to keep in mind for our delegations is the subject of liquor. They
seem to encourage excessive drinking especially when away from the main
cities and delegation members should be forewarned.
In closing, it would be an understatement to say that this was not
an incredible experience and education. We covered twenty thousand
kilometers exclusive of the round trip to Moscow and went from the
Black Sea (80?F) to Bratsk in Eastern Siberia (-10?F). Our delegation
was pleased that it was already Spring for the Siberian portion of the
trip.

SUMMARY IN 200 WORDS OR LESS (Continue on reverse it necessary)
This trip comes under Project II-2.1 of the Environmental Agreement. Our
Working Group on the Prevention of Water Pollution from Industrial and
Municipal sources is the sponsor. The delegation was headed by Andrew
Paretti and was on a receiving side pays basis. We hosted the Ministry
of Pulp and Paper in May 1974 on a tour of Pulp and Paper plants throughout
the United States. The trip took us to seven Soviet cities where we
visited one ministry six institutes and four pulp and paper plants. The
Soviets extended every courtesy and were most responsive to specific
questions. The exchange of information was very complete. It is obvious
that this ministry has put the highest priority on the project. It.is
quite apparent from their official toasts and informal conversations,
that their national policy is to pursue this program vigorously and to use
it as a vehicle to extend-the mutual era of detente between our two
countries.
Deputy Minister N. N. Chistiakov who is first deputy of the Ministry of
the Pulp and Paper Industry of the USSR gave us an official welcome and
personally handled. the opening briefing and conducted the closing critique.
They are very interested in pursuit of this exchange and we are presenting
our suggestions for such a continuation in the near future. Preliminarily,
we will be planning a symposium for next year followed by an exchange
of one or-two specialises for a period of 30 to 90 days to study a mutual
problem on site in each country, receiving side pays.
It is to be noted that the Soviets make.a great effort to insure that at
every city enroute the main points of interest are explained, They use this
as a vehicle to extoll the accomplishments of their socialist form of
government.
