Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO examined the progress of the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Great Lakes National Program Office in: (1) defining its role within EPA and involving other EPA offices in implementing a U.S.-Canada agreement about Great Lakes water quality; and (2) coordinating other federal agencies' efforts. GAO found that the Program Office: (1) expanded its contacts with EPA regional offices and increased its funding for regional projects; (2) worked with the EPA Office of Marine and Estuarine Protection and individual estuary programs to help develop policies and activities affecting the Great Lakes; (3) entered into agreements with the EPA Office of Research and Development to fund a variety of research projects on the Great Lakes; (4) improved its coordination of and cooperation with other federal agencies, resulting in progress in meeting many of the water quality agreement's provisions, although some difficult agreement annexes have been delayed; (5) cited resource limitations, state and local government responsibilities, and EPA regional office responsibilities for its limited role in helping in the development of remedial action plans and lakewide management plans; (6) established the U.S. Policy Committee in 1989 to improve coordination and cooperation among federal and state agencies and environmental groups in implementing the agreement; and (7) projected the Great Lakes' water quality problems would require massive research, cleanup efforts, and financial investments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The virtual elimination of toxic pollutants in the Great Lakes is a goal shared by the U.S. & Canada. While some progress has been made, pollution levels remain unacceptably high. The Great Lakes Initiative (GLI) requires stringent water quality standards for many pollutants in discharges regulated by states administering the Nat. Pollution Discharge Elimination System permit programs. This report examines the: (1) GLI's focus & potential impact on water quality in the Great Lakes Basin; (2) status of GLI's adoption by the states & any challenges to achieving intended goals; & (3) steps taken by the EPA for ensuring full & consistent implementation of GLI & for assessing progress toward achieving its goals. Charts, tables & maps.

Book excerpt: Millions of people in the United States and Canada depend on the Great Lakes for drinking water, recreation, and economic livelihood. During the 1970s, it became apparent that pollutants discharged into the Great Lakes Basin from point sources, such as industrial and municipal facilities, or from nonpoint sources, such as air emissions from power plants, were harming the Great Lakes. Some of these pollutants, known as bioaccumulative chemicals of concern (BCC), pose risks to fish and other species as well as to the humans and wildlife that consume them. In 1995, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued the Great Lakes Initiative (GLI). The GLI established water quality criteria to be used by states to establish pollutant discharge limits for some BCCs and other pollutants that are discharged by point sources. The GLI also allows states to include flexible permit implementation procedures (flexibilities) that allow facilities' discharges to exceed GLI criteria. This testimony is based on GAO's July 2005 report, Great Lakes Initiative: EPA Needs to Better Ensure the Complete and Consistent Implementation of Water Quality Standards (GAO-05-829) and updated information from EPA and the Great Lakes states. This statement addresses (1) the status of EPA's efforts to develop and approve methods to measure pollutants at the GLI water quality criteria levels, (2) the use of permit flexibilities, and (3) EPA's actions to implement GAO's 2005 recommendations.
