flag Maine warns federal EPA and Superfund cuts threaten clean water, air, jobs, and climate progress.

flag Maine leaders and environmental groups warn that proposed federal budget cuts to the EPA and Superfund program could severely impact the state’s environmental progress, threatening clean air and water, climate goals, and public health. flag The Natural Resources Council of Maine reports that federal funding supports 21.5% of the state’s environmental budget and 102 jobs, with cuts risking delays in pollution cleanup, infrastructure projects, and storm readiness. flag Loss of grants has already affected efforts like sewage pipe repairs at Willard Beach, while uncertainty has led to staff layoffs and weakened scientific capacity. flag The EPA’s planned rescission of its 2009 greenhouse gas endangerment finding further undermines emissions tracking. flag Despite these challenges, state officials remain committed to environmental protection through adaptive strategies, urging Congress to preserve vital funding.
