As of March 7, EPA is seeking public comment from recreational boaters and others to develop proposed regulations and management practices as an alternative to permits, to limit the pollution discharged from these vessels to protect water quality and curtail the spread of invasive species into rivers and streams. EPA is holding listening sessions in Annapolis, Md. on March 18 and April 29 and conducting webinars to inform about the Clean Boating Act. For information on the listening sessions, contact Brian Rappoli at 202-566-1548, or e-mail cleanboaringact.hq@epa.gov For other information, go to http://water.epa.gov/lawsregs/lawsguidance/cwa/vessel/CBA/about.cfm
