Power plant admissions. So, administrative reagan, can you reit gait how it could impede the rule making process with respect to pollution control measures that directly affect climate change. I can assure you a Government Shutdown would be detrimental to any work done on regulations that would help us stay globally competitive and take advantage of technology or regulations to protect vulnerable communities and children from horrible 2. 5 polluting as well. We are doing critical work to stay ahead of wildfires we are seeing across the country and we have to be in a position where staff is doing the research so we can alert immunities of the impacts. We are also trying to respond to the drought situation from impact as well so reduce the ability to respond to the Climate Impact and slow the ability to regulate emerging contaminants and prevent us fron protecting Public Health.

He was the backbone of our supports network, so much so that having grown up with this rather extensive pan am family, as an extension of my own, for a one time i thought he was another one of my various pan am uncles. 15 years
Street to porter, that is where they are working on that water main break at this point. But a significant amount of water here on this major thorofare. Were a little concerned about what that might mean as more traffic starts to come across this area. We have seen the d. C. Water crews bringing a little bit of salt and gradient just around one lane of this area but i feel like it needs a little bit more coverage at this point. I dont know exactly when this water main break began. It seems like its so new they havent even posted it on twitter or their web site yet as far as emergency outages. D. C. Water is working on two other water main breaks this morning. One on girard street northeast and one on 34th street in southeast. So, definitely a looks like theyve gotten on top of this one.
