Too often these days we have let the rhetoric surrounding controversial issues overtake the reality.

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?

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.

This information suggests that we are moving in the wrong direction in improving the quality of our Nation's water resources.
