Trump Backs Off Earlier Superfund Cut in New Budget Proposal

摘要

The EPA's Superfund program evaded a major proposed cut in funding under President Donald Trump's new budget request that threatened to slow cleanup progress at sites across the country last year. The proposed budget would maintain Superfund funding at about $1.1 billion for fiscal year 2019. Under the president's fiscal year 2019 proposal, Superfund would make up about one-sixth of the EPA's budget.
