Mid-Atlantic Officials Seek Mitigation Of Roadway Runoff in Next Highway Bill

摘要

Governors of six mid-Atlantic states, 31 U.S. congressmen from the region, and numerous environmental organizations want the reauthorization of the federal highway program to ensure that roadways built with federal money mitigate pollution caused by stormwater runoff.rnIn a letter written to the chairman and ranking member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, the governors said runoff from roads and related facilities "constitutes a major part of the national water pollution problem."
