Monitor Breakfast posted March 28, 2002

Christine Todd Whitman, administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency and former governor of New Jersey, was the guest at Wednesday's Monitor breakfast in Washington.

Monitor Breakfast Selected quotations from a Monitor Breakfast with Environmental Protection Administrator Christine Whitman By David T. Cook On which environmental issue is the No. 1 challenge: "I would put it in terms of what I think our single greatest challenge is, and I don't know how we are going to solve it all, and that is water. I think water is going to be the biggest environmental issue that we face for the 21st century in both quantity and quality. The agency doesn't really deal with quantity much – that falls more under (the Department of) Interior and others. But (EPA) clearly has an impact on quality. As you look, not just for the United States it is around the world. If you look at what is happening in the Middle East, there are some severe droughts going on. Water is a major problem – clean water in Afghanistan. We have a million children dying a year from waterborne diseases around the world, entirely preventable. And here in this country we look at enormous costs – anywhere from $480 billion to $1 trillion in infrastructure repair needs in cities and around the nation. ... we have gotten really good at identifying and correcting the problem that comes from a single source from a pipe that's emitting into a stream. We are having now to get to the point where people understand what they do in their driveway can end up somewhere far away and have a cumulative impact ... when you look at the problems we have in the West with the arsenic standard, the cost of that, all of those things say to me that water is going to be really one of our biggest challenges and I am not entirely sure that we have it all down on how to solve that." DENNIS COOK/AP

“I would put it in terms of what I think our single greatest challenge is, and I don't know how we are going to solve it all, and that is water. I think water is going to be the biggest environmental issue that we face for the 21st century in both quantity and quality. ”

“... we have gotten really good at identifying and correcting the problem that comes from a single source from a pipe that's emitting into a stream. We are having now to get to the point where people understand what they do in their driveway can end up somewhere far away and have a cumulative impact” 

“... when you look at the problems we have in the West with the arsenic standard, the cost of that, all of those things say to me that water is going to be really one of our biggest challenges and I am not entirely sure that we have it all down on how to solve that."

In an exclusive interview, G. Tracy Mehan, III, the new head of the U.S. EPA Office of Water, outlines the Bush Administration’s plans andPriorities for addressing water quality issues and regulation

Q: What do you think will be the Office of Water’s biggest challenges during your tenure?A: I think, clearly, the whole movement toward engagement in the issue of nonpoint source pollution is the big challenge. Our legal authorities and most of our resources to date have been directed at point sources, as well they should have been. We certainly need to build on that base and go forward from there. But now, trying to adapt to concepts like watershed management and incentive based approaches that… engage stakeholders in a way that we can deal successfully with polluted runoff-I think that’s the overarching issue that I’ll have to contend with, as every other professional in this field is trying to do.
