Remarks by Lynn Thorp for the Safe Drinking Water Act 40th Anniversary Forum
Good afternoon. My name is Lynn Thorp and I am the National Campaigns Director for Clean Water Action. We are a national organization working at the federal level and in 15 states on a wide range of issues including drinking water and implementation of the Safe Drinking Water Act. It is an honor to mark the Act’s 40th anniversary and share ideas with all of you. In celebration of the Act’s successes and with hope for its future, I want to issue a challenge to us today to put some “teeth” in the first step of the Safe Drinking Water Act’s multi-barrier approach – Source Water Protection.
