- "The President has proposed to reduce EPA's budget by $330 million (a 4.4% cut). ...Over $270 million in cuts to programs that help local governments pay to cleanup sewage and protect rivers, streams, and lakes from pollution, and for other local water projects. ...Cuts over $16 million in state grants to control polluted runoff (non-point source pollution)... Cuts $9.7 million (nearly 50%) from the program that helps US communities along the Mexican border address water contamination and other pollution." - excerpt from this press release from the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works.
