EPA Awards $860,000 to U.S. Communities to Reduce Water Pollution | 2014-04-30 | Pollution Engineering

The EPA announced $860,000 to help 14 communities expand their use of green infrastructure to reduce water pollution and boost resilience to the impacts of climate change. The funding supports the Climate Action Plan, which directs federal agencies to support community-based preparedness and resilience efforts across the country.

“Investing in green infrastructure pays off for our environment and our economy. It reduces water pollution and energy consumption while creating jobs,” said EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy. “These investments help local communities build resilient systems to protect from severe storms, floods, and other impacts of climate change.”
