US EPA - Region 1. 1998 State of the New England Environmental Report. 1998. 29 pp.

The EPA works very hard to increase its presence in New England's communities; to stand tough on important environmental issues such as safe drinking water and clean air; to tackle new, troubling issues like sprawl development; and to improve internal management systems so as to deliver more inspired, cost-effective service. EPA does not meet these challenges without the help of eager, able, committed New Englanders; they have benefited from, and continue to welcome, ideas and labor of citizens to help strive towards a healthier, more beautiful New England for generations to come. This resource reports on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Region 1 1998 evaluation on the state of the New England environment. This document has chapters covering the following topics: public health & our environment, the challenge of global climate change, sprawl, New England’s ecological health, the Charles River: a progress report, compliance & pollution prevention, you & your environment, and agency goals.
