San Francisco Bay Restoration Act

Floor Speech

Date: Feb. 5, 2020
Location: Washington, DC


Mr. Speaker, I also rise in support of H.R. 1132. It represents good governance by codifying the EPA's existing work in the San Francisco Bay Area. The bay area watershed provides a primary source of drinking water for over 25 million people and irrigation for 7,000 square miles of agriculture. It includes important economic resources, such as water supply infrastructure, ports, deepwater shipping channels, major highway and railway corridors, and energy lines.

Mr. Speaker, I urge support of this legislation, and I reserve the balance of my time.

Mr. Speaker, I urge support of this important legislation, and I yield back the balance of my time.
