Environmental advocates said proposed budget cuts to the Environmental Protection Agency will slow cleanup of toxic "forever chemicals," per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, known as PFAS in public drinking water and at military sites in Maryland and nationwide. The House Appropriations Committee s budget for fiscal year 2024 would reduce funding for the EPA by nearly $4 billion, representing a 39% reduction over the current year, and driving funding down to levels last seen in 1991. John Reeder, vice president for federal affairs for the Environmental Working Group, said in inflation-adjusted terms, the cut is much greater. .
Conservation and community groups have filed a lawsuit against Utah for what they claim is the state s failure to ensure enough water gets to the Great Salt Lake, to avoid what they call an "ecological collapse." The lawsuit seeks a court order requiring Utah to let more water reach the largest natural lake in the Western Hemisphere. John Leshy, professor emeritus of law at the University of California-San Francisco, said the lake is a "public trust" resource per the state s constitution. He added the court will examine what the designation means when it comes to managing and protecting it. .
