office in 1976 under an environmental banner,several largeenvironmental groups seem less than ecstatic about his actual performance in office.In a recentNational Wildlife Federation poll answered by 35,182 members,2%rated Carter “excellent,”25%“good,\"51%“fair,\"and 22%“poor.”NWF said the results“would appear to reflect a disappoint-ment in his record on the part of many fellow environmentalists.”Another large environmentalorganization -Friends of the Earth-recently gave Carter a 45%positive rating on a list of issuesincluding air and water pollution.  \nAT AN EPA HEARING last week,industry spokesmen came out in adamant opposition to the EDFcarcinogen proposal,but EDF attorney Robert Rauch indicated he might sue EPA for an inadequateresponse.Rauch has also told EPA it should propose rules under the Toxic Substances Control Actto control asbestos emissions.EPA has said it wants to resolve the issue through a \"technical amend-ment”to the Clean Air Act(A/WPR,March 13,1978,p.101),but Congress may not want to touchthe act again soon for fear of other amendments.  \nWHO'S KEEPING THE SECRETS?-Dow Chemical Co.last week charged EPA with illegal aerialsurveillance of the firm's giant chemical plants around its Midland,Mich.,headquarters.Dow claimsthe aerial photos,which EPA concedes it took Feb.7 to check for possible Clean Air Act violations,might fall into the hands of “competitors or even foreign governments”under the Freedom of Infor-mation Act.A Federal judge has enjoined EPA from releasing the photos pending a court hearing.Meanwhile last week,a Federal grand jury in Buffalo indicted the Olin Corp.and three former com-pany officials on charges of secretly dumping 38 tons of mercury into the Niagara Falls,N.Y.,from1970 to 1977,and falsifying reports to EPA.                        \n           Page 121  \n*Reasonableness'Decision Soon,Jorling Tells WPCF…                 …Page 122  \nSLANTS &TRENDS  \nCARTER’S ENVIRONMENTAL RATING may dip further after his action (or inaction)on an issue thatpitted EPA and CEQ against the Interior and Agriculture departments.The two departments havepushed for approval of the proposed “Foothills”dam and water treatment complex near Denver.EPA and CEQ opposed the $135-million project on the grounds that it is unnecessary and will exacer-bate Denver's mounting air pollution problem.Despite their opposition,Interior and Agriculture lastweek approved a scaled-down version of the project,and said any expansion would depend on Den-ver's progress in conserving water.An Interior official dismissed the EPA-CEQ air pollution concerns,saying,\"we should not dictate air quality standards..it's not our bag.\"  \nTHE U.S.COURT OF APPEALS for the District of Columbia March 17 ordered EPA to grant no newPSD permits until the court decides what to do about the Environmental Defense Fund's ongoinglegal challenge(A/WPR,March 20,1978,p.111).By last Friday morning,the court had still notdecided whether to rule on EDF's motion to send the case back to lower court for review.EDF,meanwhile,recently seems to have assumed a “higher profile”in challenging EPA's air pollution policy,not only fighting PSD decisions but attempting to persuade EPA to adopt a comprehensive strategyto control airborne carcinogens(A/WPR,Feb.20,1978,p.79).  \n\"Congress and the Environmental Protec-tion Agency can bring
