Bush Administration Budget Proposes Cuts to Clean Water Funding

摘要

The Bush Administration's recently released budget for Fiscal Year 2007 calls for additional cuts to clean water funding mechanisms. Bush's budget proposes a more than $300 million reduction in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) budget, from $7.625 billion for FY 2006 to $7.31 billion. The majority of the cuts would come from EPA's Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF). The proposed budget calls for a greater than 20 percent reduction in the CWSRF, from $887 million to $687 million.
