The backlog of actions on the TMDLs has fallen dramatically from over 100 unprocessed plans in 2017 to just a single state priority TMDL in July of this year. That’s a 99 percent decrease to the backlog. — PolitiTweet.org

Since January 2017, EPA has approved more than 7,000 TMDLs or Total Maximum Daily Load plans to restore polluted waters – a 25 % increase from the preceding three and a half years. — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. EPA @EPA

When we clean up polluted sites quickly and return them to the surrounding communities for an improved use, EPA is strengthening our country where it needs to be strongest – at our foundation. @EPAAwheeler — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. EPA @EPA

When you reflect on how many of the most polluted & hazardous sites EPA has responsibility for are in the most disadvantaged communities in this country, you start to realize how important a mission EPA has been given by Congress. — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. EPA @EPA

Thankfully, cleaning up these sites has been a major focus of the Trump Administration. In the first 3 years, EPA completed full or partial deletion of 55 sites from the NPL, including 27 last year. — PolitiTweet.org

Too many Americans have lived near Superfund sites for too long. It’s worth remembering that over 1,300 Superfunds sites around this country are listed on the Superfund National Priorities List, or NPL. — PolitiTweet.org

#OTD in 1981, EPA announced $400,000 plan to remove drums full of chemical waste and detoxify runoff water from a 23-acre area.
