EPA Launches Web Forum on How to Best Protect America’s Waters

Contact Ernesta Jones - EPA News Release – March 17, 2010
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is seeking  public input on how the agency can better protect and improve the  health of our waters.  For a two- week period, EPA is holding a Web  discussion forum on how the nation can better manage some of the most  significant water pollution problems facing our nation. The feedback  received on the online forum will help shape the discussion at EPA’s  upcoming conference in April, Coming Together for Clean Water, where we  will engage approximately 100 executive and local level water leads on  the agency’s clean water agenda.  "We look forward to reviewing the ideas and feedback from the public,”
said Peter S. Silva, assistant administrator EPA’s Office of Water.  “This online discussion is for anyone who wants to share their best solutions for restoring healthy waters and creating sustainable  communities across the country."  EPA wants to receive input from water professionals, advocates, and anyone interested in water quality issues about best solutions—from  planning, scientific tools, low impact development, to green  infrastructure and beyond—in controlling water pollution and how  resources can be better focused to improve these efforts.
