Bolcar, Jr. at the Pepe Field Superfund site on Friday, Feb. 20, 1998 at 11:00 a.m. Browner will announce significant new funding for the Pepe Field site, and detail the impact of Clinton Administration Superfund reforms in cleaning up the site faster, fairer and more efficiently.
Through a series of administrative actions, the Clinton Administration has fundamentally improved the nation’s toxic waste cleanup program, accelerating the cleanup of toxic waste dumps and significantly reducing the cost. The President proposed $2.1 billion in his FY99 balanced budget to speed toxic waste cleanups in hundreds of communities across the nation. Browner will describe the need for Congressional action to clean up even more toxic waste sites and build on the progress of the last five years.
