Vice President Luke Frazza was chosen by USEPA to speak during a teleconference today organized to hear feedback related to modifying USEPA Office of Water regulations to make them less burdensome. Frazza told USEPA: “Environmental restoration accounted for approximately 126,000 jobs in the U.S. in 2014.

This effort is part of NEBA’s commitment to building better relations with key governmental regulatory agencies in support of environmental markets and private sector solutions.
