Dennis is controllable so do not default on this one . I would send Van Hollen a follow up note saying " i already had this meeting on my calendar but was not sure if it was confidential since you ask the question. Senator- we would like to make this a productive meeting . i am happy to publicize your success in making this happen ". Blah blah blah Call me if you can . No urgency but we need to talk about issues unrelated to the EPA. Sent from my iPad Begin forwarded message: From: "Frank C.

Steven Hart" <jshart@,wms-jen.com> Subject: EPA Budget Hearing DennisNote the Van Hollen exchange re: the Chesapeake Bay. Frank Chesapeake Bay Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) asserted the Chesapeake Bay is a "national treasure" and explained six states and the EPA formed a compact to clean up the bay. He said there was an effort to enforce the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) program. He recalled Pruitt's confirmation hearing and noted he committed to working with the states. He asked how the budget meets that commitment. Pruitt asserted the TMDL program is reflective of what is good about state cooperation on cleaning up point and nonpoint sources. He said the EPA will work with states to 17cv1906 Sierra Club v. EPA - 6/22 Production ED 001523 00002573-00001 ensure concerns are addressed. Van Hollen asserted eliminating the funding would make it more difficult to reach the goals and opposition to the cut to the Chesapeake Bay program has united the Maryland Congressional delegation. Pruitt acknowledged it is difficult to get six states together to reach that type of cooperation and commended the states. Van Hollen asked Pruitt to meet with the Chesapeake Bay Commission. Pruitt agreed. Disclaimer This message, and any attachments to it, are from Williams & Jensen, PLLC and are intended only for the addressee.
