1) Proposed Unified Federal Policy for Watershed Management on Federal Lands

Today the US Department of Agriculture and the Department of the Interior released a draft of a Unified Federal Policy for Ensuring a Watershed Approach to Federal Land and Resource Management ('Unified Federal Policy') to Congress, tribes, states, and interested stakeholders. The proposed policy, a key action of the President's Clean Water Action Plan, has two primary goals: to use a watershed approach to prevent and reduce water pollution resulting from federal land and resource management activities and to accomplish this in a unified and cost effective manner.

After this consultation period, a new draft of the Unified Federal Policy will be put in the Federal Register for a 90 day public comment period in July. For a copy of the draft, visit the Bureau of Land Management at http://www.blm.gov Exit EPA Disclaimer or the Forest Service at http://www.fs.fed.us/clean/unified Exit EPA Disclaimer on the Internet.
