On the recordJuly 12, 2016
Mr. Chair, I yield myself the balance of my time. I am going to repeat what I said earlier. My amendment does not remove the TMDL or the watershed implementation plans. It only removes the retaliatory actions threatened by the EPA. Those who oppose this amendment are right in that the States have made great improvements. The States have made great strides in cleaning up the bay; so why continue to threaten them with an EPA takeover of their water quality plans? I urge my colleagues to support this amendment. Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
