The bills, H.R. 267,the Hydropower Regulatory Efficiency Act, and H.R. 678, the Bureau of Reclamation Small Conduit Hydropower Development and Rural Jobs

Act, are expected to help unlock some of the estimated 60,000 megawatts of untapped U.S. hydropower capacity.H.R. 267 promotes the development of small hydropower and conduit projects and aims to shorten regulatory timeframes of certain other low-impact hydropower projects, such as projects that add power generation to the nations existing non-powered dams and closed-loop pumpedstorage projects.H.R. 678 authorizes small hydropower development at existing canals, pipelines, aqueducts, and other manmade waterways owned by theU.S. Bureau of Reclamation. Such development could provide enough power for 30,000 U.S. homes.

In an ongoing effort to protect bees and other pollinators, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has developed new pesticidelabels that prohibit use of some neonicotinoid pesticide products where bees are present. The new labels will have a bee advisory box andicon with information on routes of exposure and spray drift precautions. The EPA will work with pesticide manufacturers to change labels sothat they will meet the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) safety standard.The agency continues to work with beekeepers, growers, pesticide applicators, pesticide and seed companies, and federal and state agenciesto reduce pesticide drift dust and advance best management practices. The EPA recently released new enforcement guidance to federal, stateand tribal enforcement officials to enhance investigations of beekill incidents. More on the EPAs label changes and pollinator protectionefforts:http://www.epa.gov/opp00001/ecosystem/pollinator/index.html.View the infographic on EPAs new bee advisory

EPA Announces $15 Million in Supplemental Funds to Clean up and Redevelop Contaminated Brownfield Sites Across the CountryThe U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently announced approximately $15 million in supplemental funding to help clean upcontaminated brownfield properties. The Revolving Loan Funding (RLF) will help 41 communities carry out cleanup and redevelopmentprojects. These projects will help communities create jobs while protecting peoples health and the environment.These funds granted tocommunities who have already achieved success in their work to clean up and redevelop brownfields will help boost local economies, createlocal jobs, and protect people from harmful pollution by expediting Brownfield projects, said Mathy Stanislaus, Assistant Administrator forEPAs Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response. There are an estimated 450,000 abandoned and contaminated sites in the UnitedStates. EPAs Brownfields Program targets these sites to encourage redevelopment, and helps to provide the opportunity for productive

community use of contaminated properties. EPAs Brownfields investments overall have leveraged more than $20 billion in cleanup andredevelopment funding from public and private sources and on average, $17.79 is leveraged for every EPA Brownfields grant dollar spent.

York City shaved 11 minutes off travel times within a year of introducing express bus services, while at the same time attracting morepassengers.
