Army Urges Hill To Block EPA Policy Changes Midway Through Cleanups

"It would be great if when you started a project under one set of rules, you were able to complete it under that same set of rules," Army Assistant Secretary for Installations, Energy and Environment Katherine Hammack told a House Appropriations Committee panel March 7.
