This Web site provides information about environmental projects administered by EPA in the mid-Atlantic states (DE, MD, PA, VA, WV and DC) under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
The Recovery Act provides funding for significant projects that will help clean the environment, and provide better environmental and public health protection to citizens of the mid-Atlantic region. EPA's portion of the plan will create green jobs that will also help clean contaminated land, produce cleaner drinking water and air quality, spur environmentally-conscious urban and rural re-development and reduce greenhouse gases.
