I want to clarify a section in the statement of the managers accompanying the VA-HUD conference report.

The report may take two years to complete. It is my understanding that the language is not intended to limit EPA's authority during the next two years with respect to dredging contaminated sediments that pose a substantial threat to public health or the environment where EPA has found that dredging is an appropriate response action.
