Hi all,
The community letter that Environment America drafted on WRDA is now final. Please let me know ASAP if your organization would like to sign on. Our goal is to get this out by COB today (ambitious, I know).
The letter is not a full endorsement of WRDA, but offers support for our favorite clean water measures in the bill. These include increased SRF funding, grants to get the lead out of drinking water in schools, and changes to UCMR that will result in more systems being tested for unregulated contaminants such as PFAS. This letter was requested by our friends at EPW to help push the agreement past the finish line.
Please reach out to me or to John Rumpler if you have any questions.
Best,
Bart
