Air Quotes
I think people really understand that clean air and clean water and not having factories dumping their emissions into the atmosphere and into the rivers and into the sea has been a very good thing for America. EPA stands watch for very important principles that go all the way back to Teddy Roosevelt.

Arguing Quotes
This radical proposal is a 180-degree flip-flop from what the administration has been arguing in court. Instead of protecting public health, now EPA wants to protect the polluters. The proposal would completely sabotage clean-air law enforcement, and it would be open season for power plants to pollute even more than they do now.

Asked Quotes
On one side was contaminated and on our side (it) is absolutely. Oil, gas, anything -- I watched them walk out the back door and pour it out. I asked SCI to go over there and drill and they said no, they could only drill three holes. I saw the report from the EPA and I called Phil Harris (sic) and said, 'You're not telling the truth!'

Act Quotes
Our message to Iowa cattle producers has been clear. Producers were given a five-year enforcement moratorium to fully comply with the law, and we expect them to meet the commitments they made when they entered into the agreement. When the Iowa Plan ends, EPA will enforce the Clean Water Act against feedlots that are polluting the nation's waters.

Affect Quotes

We can provide them with useful, practical information with which to make decisions that affect their lives and health.

Bush Quotes

Based Quotes
We are very concerned that total fluoride exposure is not safe for children. EPA is relying on outdated science to support this increase in fluoride exposure, and in our view has not discharged its legal duty to thoroughly consider the effects of fluoride on infants and children, from all routes of exposure, based on a thorough review of the most recent peer-reviewed science.

Achieve Quotes
EPA has determined that existing regulations, coupled with the collaborative partnership outlined in the Chesapeake 2000 agreement, will get us results faster than developing new federal rules. Recent actions taken by Maryland, Virginia and other Bay partners will help to ensure that we achieve and maintain our restoration goals for the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries.

Associated Quotes
This is the largest civil administrative penalty EPA has ever obtained under any environmental statue. Not by a little, by a lot.

Across Quotes
It's unfortunate that the EPA has dragged their feet in responding to my request. Prices at the pump are at near record levels and the federal government has simply not responded.

-

Accomplish Quotes
The best scenario that we would hope to accomplish is that EPA and GE can agree that this site is a hazard to people living in homes 50 feet away, and that they respond and do a complete remediation, ...

Above Quotes
Clear Skies delivers dramatic health benefits across the nation without raising energy costs and does it with certainty and simplicity, instead of regulation and litigation. Because of our commitment to see this become a reality, EPA went above and beyond to provide the most comprehensive legislative analysis of air ever prepared by the agency, so it does a real disservice to this discussion to have a report that largely ignores and misinterprets our analysis.
-
Both Quotes

Aftermath Quotes
The inevitable conclusion is that Americans cannot count on the White House Council on Environmental Quality, the Department of Homeland Security, EPA or OSHA to protect public health properly in the aftermath of a terrorist attack or national disaster. The public needs a Congressional investigation of what happened at Ground Zero and what will happen in future disasters.
