Unfortunately, the Biden Administration was unwilling to consider any changes. President Trump and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin listened to our concerns and took action. Congressman Rob Bresnahan has been a strong advocate in this effort and made the difference in moving this issue forward," said Congressman Meuser. "Today’s action is a major step toward finally providing relief to the people of Luzerne County. The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection must now acknowledge the termination of this Obama-era executive order and abide by the President’s action by adjusting the stormwater requirements that have driven these costly fees.” | 1 | 2026-09-17T09:52:05Z | 2026-09-17T09:53:00Z |
