EPA Plan To Limit State Program Reviews Draws 'Disappointed' Response

摘要

The Trump EPA has made easing federal oversight of state programs a top priority but its recent draft policy that seeks to limit agency scrutiny of state programs - and even calls federal intervention a "last option" - has some state officials "disappointed" because it continues to require permit-by-permit reviews. "From our perspective we're slightly disappointed that it is still focused on individual permit reviews," Julia Anastasio, executive director and general counsel for the Association of Clean Water Administrators (ACWA), tells Inside EPA.
