Show 330 INTERSTATE COMPACTS reverse or modify the same in any appropriate proceeding brought and upon any of the grounds customarily applicable in proceedings for court review of administrative decisions. The Commission or, at its request, the Attorney General or other law enforcing official of the appropriate state shall have power to institute in such court any action for the enforcement of such order, ARTICLE IX Nothing in this Compact shall be construed to limit the powers of any party state, or to repeal or prevent the enactment of any legisla- tion, or the enforcement of any requirement by any party state, im- posing any additional conditions and restrictions to further reduce or prevent the pollution of waters within its jurisdiction. ARTICLE X A. Nothing contained in this Compact shall be construed so as to conflict with any provision of the Ohio River Valley Water Sanita- tion Compact or to impose obligations on any party state inconsistent with those which it has undertaken or may undertake by virtue of its membership in said Compact; provided that nothing contained in this Article shall be deemed to limit the Commission's power to set higher standards for the waters of the Tennessee River Basin Water Pollution Control District or any portion thereof than those required for the Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation District. B. Nothing contained in this Compact shall be deemed to give the Commission any regulatory power or jurisdiction over any aspect of pollution abatement or control within the District unless existing or future pollution of such waters does or is likely to affect adversely the quality of water flowing among, between, into or through the territory of more than one party state. ARTICLE XI Any two or more of the party states by legislative action may enter into supplementary agreements for further regulation and abatement of water pollution in other areas within the party states and for the establishment of common or joint services or facilities for such purpose and designate the Commission to act as their joint agency in regard thereto. Except in those cases where all member states join in such supplementary agreement and designation, the representatives in the Commission of any group of such designating states shall constitute a separate section of the Commission for the performance of the function or functions so designated and with such voting rights for these purposes as may be stipulated in such agreement; provided that, if any additional expense is involved, the member states so acting shall appropriate the necessary funds for this purpose. No supplementary agreement shall be valid to the ex- tent that it conflicts with the purposes of this Compact and the crea- tion of such a section as a joint agency shall not affect the privileges, powers, responsibilities or duties of the member states participating therein as embodied in the other articles of this Compact. |
