Get Engaged in River Protection Policies!

There are many ways to get involved with protecting your rivers. Through the Protection and Restoration Program, we help individuals and organizations engage in opportunities to strengthen policies that protect and restore rivers and watersheds.

Right now we have two action items that could use your attention!

1.) Speaking out to Control Post-Construction Stormwater Runoff: U.S. EPA is asking for your input about their program for controlling stormwater runoff pollution. Explore this get engaged page for information on listening sessions and opportunities to share written comments about current stormwater control practices that retain stormwater on-site including design, performance, operation and maintenance, cost, and benefit information. December and January deadlines!!

2.) Greening the Economic Stimulus: The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 included $4 billion dollars for clean water and $2 billion dollars for drinking water projects. This huge investment in our water infrastructure could be a great thing for our rivers...or not. Explore this get engaged page to find out how to make the stimulus a good thing for your watershed.
