So I guess my fundamental question, Mr. Poltak, is if the EPA is willing to do it for the communities that I have cited, and I am sure there are others, why is it that there is not the capacity to do it for other communities?
The second trend highlighted at this morning's hearing focuses back on the Congress and how the Federal Government has stopped making significant Federal investments in improving our Nation's water quality.
I hope we can all agree that is a good thing, and I hope we can also all agree that that improvement would not have happened were it not for the Clean Water Act.
My fondest hope as I leave the Congress is that the way in which this committee has conducted its business will come to characterize the way the Congress as a whole conducts its business.
