Mr. Ross has a full understanding of those statutes aimed at protecting our water coupled with a full understanding of how those statutes can and do impact state and local communities. Furthermore, through his boots on the ground experience, Mr. Ross has gained an appreciation for the important role state play, both in the east and dryer west, in protecting our water and understands that it is by working in cooperation with the states that the greatest degree of success in this important program will be achieved." Do advise if more/less would be better.
