Celebrate Earth Day April 22!
On April 22,1970, 20 million people
across America celebrated the first
Earth Day. It was a time when
cities were buried under their own smog and
polluted rivers caught fire. Now Earth Day is
celebrated annually around the globe.
Through the combined efforts of the U.S.
government, grassroots organizations, and
citizens, what started as a day of national
environmental recognition has evolved into
a world-wide campaign to protect our global
environment.

Federal Agencies must Adapt to Effectively
Address Climate Change
The Climate Change Adaptation Task
Force has released recommendations to
President Obama for how Federal Agen-
cy policies and programs can better pre-
pare the US to respond to the impacts of
climate change. These recommended ac-
tions include:
• Make adaptation a standard part of
Agency planning
• Ensure scientific information about
the impacts of climate change is
easily accessible
• Align Federal efforts to respond
to climate impacts that cut across
jurisdictions and missions
• Develop a U.S. strategy to support
international adaptation
• Build strong partnerships to support
local, state, and tribal decision makers

National Tribal Toxics Committee
The National Tribal Environmental
Council (NTEC) has been awarded fund-
ing from EPA to assist in the development
of a Tribal toxics committee to expand the
conversation on the uniqueness of Tribal
cultures, communities and their concerns
surrounding environmental toxins. This
committee, the National Tribal Tox-
ics Committee (NTTC), will consist of
Tribes interested in having a voice in the
development of EPA's chemical manage-
ment and pollution prevention programs.
The first step in the development of this
committee is to have any interested tribes
complete a short survey. The survey can be
found at http://tinyurl.com/4fzru6g This
survey does two things.
First, it will assist NTEC in setting up
a selection committee to determine the
makeup of the interim Steering Committee.
Second, it identifies those Tribes who have
individuals interested in being nominated to
the interim Steering Committee.
The interim Steering committee will be
assisting in initial development of the
program for the first year. You can also visit
the NTTC web site and sign up for the web
site and listserv at http://tribaltoxics.org

Clean Boating Act
EPA is seeking public comment from boat-
ers and other stakeholders to help develop
proposed regulations, as required by the
2008 Clean Boating Act, to reduce water
pollution and the spread of invasive species
in the nation's rivers, lakes and other water
bodies. As an alternative to permits required
for commercial vessels, the act directs EPA
to develop and promulgate management
practices for recreational vessels.
The important input received through this
process will help guide the development of
proposed regulations to mitigate adverse
effects from recreational boat discharges,
such as bilge water, gray water and deck
runoff, that may contain substances harmful
to water quality or spread invasive species.
The Clean Boating Act directs EPA to take
steps to limit the impact of pollution and the
spread of invasive species associated with the
discharge from boats. As part of the public
input, EPA is also seeking information from
states that already enact standards to limit the
impacts of boat discharges on waterways.
EPA is holding a listening session and con-
ducting webinars to inform interested par-
ties about the Clean Boating Act and receive
public input. A listening session will be held
in Annapolis, MD on April 29. More about
the CBA is at http://go.usa.gov/2ZK

Water Sense
EPA Encourages Americans
Across the country, household leaks waste
more than 1 trillion gallons of water per
year - enough to supply the water needs of
Chicago, Miami, and Los Angeles combined.
Easily corrected household leaks can increase
homeowners' water bills by 12 percent. To help
consumers find and repair easy-to-fix leaks,
the EPA held the third annual Fix a Leak in
March.
"When households have a leak, it's not just
a waste of water, it's a waste of money," EPA
Administrator Lisa P. Jackson said. "But by
to Save Water
fixing leaky pipes, buying WaterSense products
and taking other simple steps, families can save
on their water bills and conserve clean water for
future generations to enjoy."
Homeowners' water bills provide an easy and
quick leak-checking measure; if wintertime
water use for a family of four exceeds 12,000
gallons per month, their home may have a
leak. Fixture replacement parts often pay for
themselves quickly and can be installed by do-
it-yourselfers, professional plumbers, or EPA's
WaterSense irrigation partners.
