31 дек 1923 г. - First Federal Law Established to Control Pollution from the Oil Industry

The contamination of water from tanker discharges and seepage problems on land were the primary problems. The former attracted the most attention largely because the polluting of waterways and coastal areas affected commercial fishermen and resort owners.
