H.130 - Forfeiture of EPA Clean Water Act Delegation (Introduced 2011 session)


Requires ANR to report to the legislature in January 2012 regarding the environmental and economic benefits of forfeiting the authority delegated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to the Agency of Natural Resources to implement and enforce the federal Clean Water Act.  

Notes: If Vermont forfeited the delegated authority, USEPA would implement and enforce the Clean Water Act in Vermont. This is the current situation in some other states.
