There are over 1,100 designated Superfund sites around the country.

water is critical. Thank you.

We are losing as much as 30 percent of the water. Thirty percent of the water that we treated.

Could we use the funds that we had from COVID for State and local government since it is used for healthcare on this?

I would like to hear that.

if you don't have that kind of data, then it is pretty much impossible to estimate how long its going to take to replace all of these lead pipes.

Trump made cleaning up these sites a priority.

We have got to stop this. And according to the American Water Works Association, we are going to need 1.7, almost 2 trillion dollars through 2050 to repair this infrastructure.

Look, I get a kick out of, as a civil engineer--the only licensed civil engineer in Congress--I get a kick out of the fact that our committee and others keep referring to the ASCE report.

Look, to reduce global CO2, the administration has been calling for zero-carbon emissions from American power plants by 2035.

Can you guarantee me that the Biden plan will lower global emissions to less than 350 parts per million?

Under Obama his focus was climate change--Superfund sites were neglected.

America deserves better, Mr. Chairman.

Trump cleaned up the sites at twice the rate, annual rate, 20 per year.

Trump made cleaning up these sites a priority.

What can we do? What would you suggest? Is that maybe you and I, we put together something, we----

Unfortunately, there are over 1,100 designated Superfund sites around the country.

Under Obama, his focus was entirely on climate, and the Superfund sites were neglected.

I think it is a good place for bipartisanship. That is what I am thinking, if we work together.
