Environment - Great Lakes Compact passes US Senate
Jeff Burton reports in the NWI Times:
PORTAGE | The U.S. Senate approved an interstate agreement that creates unified standards for Great Lakes water and resource management Friday, moving the compact a step closer to becoming law.The agreement, negotiated and approved by eight Great Lakes states, addresses a freshwater shortage and prevents countries or remote states from tapping into the lakes from their natural drainage basin. It also requires states to regulate large-scale water uses.
