E.P.A. Delivers Outline Strategy for Clean Water

WASHINGTON - The E.P.A. (EPA) is inviting the public to review on the agency's outline strategy to protect and restore our nation's lakes, streams and coastal waters. The strategy, "Coming Together for Clean Water: EPA's Strategy for Achieving Clean Water," is designed to chart EPA's path in furthering E.P.A. Administrator Lisa P. Jackson's key priority of protecting America's waters.

The strategy was developed by considering the input and ideas generated at the April "Coming Together for Clean Water" forum as well as comments received through the online discussion forum. Participants shared their perspectives on how to advance the EPA's clean water agenda focusing on the agency's 2 priority areas: healthy watersheds and sustainable communities. E.P.A. is now inviting the public to consider and provide their comments on the approaches outlined in the strategy.

Public comments on the outline strategy should be submitted by September 17. E.P.A. will review all comments and post a final strategy later in the year.
