EPA Budget Justification Provides Ambiguous Language On Superfund

摘要

Environmental advocates are criticizing EPA's plans to make significant budget cuts to the agency's Superfund program in fiscal year 2018 while at the same time saying the agency's budget justification document is ambiguous as to the effect of the reductions and uses "double talk" to explain how it plans to offset some of the cuts. "ft appears that career EPA staff developed a document justifying the EPA program, and then the new administration overlaid its cuts, with minimal explanation," one environmentalist source says when asked about the measures on Superfund.
