EPA Advances Cooperative Federalism with Proposal to Approve Wisconsin Coal Combustion Residuals Program
One of the many core principles advocated by EPA under President Trump is the concept of cooperative federalism. On Thursday, EPA took a major step forward in allowing Wisconsin to protect its own environment and manage Coal Combustion Residuals (CCR) within the state. EPA has made significant progress working with states as they seek to manage their own CCR programs, and we will continue working with state partners to prioritize timely action and empower those with local expertise to oversee more effective CCR disposal operations.

New, Cutting-Edge Research Study Unveiled to Test for Possible Contaminants in Drinking Water
On Wednesday, EPA launched an exciting, cutting-edge research effort to test for pharmaceuticals, PFAS, and over 1,000 other potential contaminants in drinking water. Conducted by EPA scientists, this new study goes beyond traditional testing methods to screen for a broad array of pollutants—advancing EPA’s commitment to pursue gold standard science and help Make America Healthy Again.

Administrator Zeldin Highlights Transformative Approach to Advanced Recycling
After decades of Americans being told to recycle plastic, it’s still piling up in landfills and oceans. Advanced recycling works, turning used plastic back into the raw material it originated from. Read news coverage on how EPA is clearing the way and scaling up these advanced recycling efforts across America.
