1. National Showcase Watersheds on the Internet

As a key action under the President's Clean Water Action Plan, EPA and six other federal agencies are showcasing twelve exemplary stream corridor restoration projects for their stream corridor restoration technology and their improvement of the community, environment, and water quality. The sites represent a variety of geographic locations and conditions; a balance of management and design; strong local, tribal and state leadership; public and private land use mix; and partnerships in stream corridor restoration. For more information, visit http://www.epa.gov/owow/showcase/ on the Internet.

2. Correction to Class V Injection Well Final Rule Federal Register Notice

An error appears in the December 7, 1999 Federal Register notice announcing a new rule for Class V underground injection wells. April 5, 2005 (not April 5, 2000) is the deadline for closure of existing large capacity cesspools. For a copy of the rule, visit http://www.epa.gov/safewater/uic.html on the Internet.
