From E&E News (subscription): Reps. Donna Edwards (D-MD), Russ Carnahan (D-MO) and Steve Driehaus (D-OH) introduced legislation this week aimed at promoting "green infrastructure" technology as a solution to water quality issues. The bill would advocate methods that rely on soil and plant life to absorb and filter storm water before it carries pollution from roads and farms to nearby waters. The bill would also create green infrastructure centers across the country to provide research, training and technical assistance to communities for implementing green infrastructure best management practices.
